** U S A. 1090, April 5 at 0614 UT, C&W music in the WSW/ENE null of IBOC from
KRLD 1080, where I have been getting KVOP Plainview TX in the Panhandle, but
should be talk format. 0627 UT, oh oh, it`s gospel, with ``This Is My Father`s
World``, and 0630 ID and plug for programming at KAAY.com --- so Little Rock is
back on the air after copper theft! Also making 3 Hz SAH; maybe that`s with
KVOP. The KAAY signal is not strong at all, and would dearly like to know what
power and antenna pattern they are on, probably by STA. Nominally it`s tight
toward Manitoba and Yucatán and not much signal over here anyway.
Ooops, the ``powerful`` KAAY.com site is for sale; it`s really
http://www.1090kaay.com
But there is nothing obvious about its death and resurrexion. Full programming
schedule
http://www.1090kaay.com/common/more.php?m=10&mode=schedule&r=2
displays ``airtime available`` 24/7! Another schedule link covers M-F only. I
think I saw the same many months ago.
Latest informal letter in the correspondence folder at FCC says:
``ON MARCH 13, 2015, THE LICENSEE DETERMINED THAT SOMEONE CUT THE TRANSMISSION
LINE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STEAL COPPER. THE LICENSEE PLANS TO REPLACE AND BURY
THE LINE UNDERGROUND. UNTIL THAT IS ACCOMPLISHED, THE STATION HAS SUSPENDED
OPERATIONS.``
Two years and five weeks *before* is the next one on file:
``Exhibit 3 Description: PARAMETERS OF OPERATION
RADIO LICENSE HOLDING CBC, LLC, RESUMED BROADCAST OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 73.1560(D) OF THE RULES. BEFORE GOING SILENT THIS STATION WAS OPERATING
PURSUANT TO SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY. SEE BESTA-20121105ANP GRANTED
12/10/2012. STATION KAAY RETURNED TO THE AIR WITH DIFFERENT TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS THAN THOSE PREVIOUSLY AUTHORIZED, THEREFORE, A NEW REQUEST FOR
SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY WAS FILED. SEE BSTA-20130208ABL GRANTED 2/15/2013.``
And that leads to this: ``Accordingly, the request for STA IS HEREBY GRANTED.
The December 10, 2012, STA is hereby modified to permit Station KAAY(AM) to
operate with an emergency nondirectional antenna and reduced power not to
exceed 5 kilowatts. It will be necessary to further reduce power or cease
operation if complaints of interference are received. This authority expires on
June 10, 2013`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
