Keeps going on and off the air while I'm listening to the Blazer game tonight.

Anyone know what's up?

Maybe Allen didn't pay the bill???

When KXL signs off, I can hear the Utah Jazz on what I'm guessing is KOAL.

Yep, KOAL for sure, heard an ID. Thanks for the "heads up" ... had not logged KOAL before.

Storm related maybe?

I noticed it too ... I thought it was my car radio for a second. I would tune back into the game, listen for two minutes, then I am getting other audio.

Glad it wasn't just me going nuts after a 13 hour workday.

I got KCBS on my Realistic clock radio.

wow that must be super wide band if you got 740 on 750!!!

Actually not really, I was tuning around a bit during one of the times that kxl was off. This is 20yr old approx analog knob tuned slide rule dial radio (with digital clock). I never tried to modify it. But KCBS came in better than I expected being that I thought they send most power south.

They came in everynight before KXL was on after sunset.

Before KXL was on at night, I use to receive WSB out of Atlanta, GA.

oh yes, 750 whizzbee. good old White Columns

which stands for:

W elcome
S outh
B rother

by the way you are hearing over there at kxl are the idiot lackey staff a having fit of rage due to the staggering defeat of the republican party

Schemoochie,
Please look at the KCBS night antenna diagram on fccinfo.com

It looks like it is supposed to send 5% or 10% at most due north in our direction. Could their antenna be mis-adjusted?

Their antenna (located at north of bay area) looks to me like it is desinged to blast most of the power into the center of the bay area.

So, this is why I thought it came in here better than expexted on a clock radio.

I remember being quite surprised the first time I saw KCBS' night pattern because they put such a good signal into Portland. This was while KXL was a daytimer of course. As I recall they were never quite as strong as KNBR or KGO, but much better than I would expect judging from their pattern.

They still put a decent signal into the Portland area. I am west of Portland (about 20 miles from the KXL towers) and can hear it just fine at night on a GE srIII.

It tends to fade more than KGO or KNBR but never really goes away.

Perhaps we are getting a reflection off of the Bay Bridge?

I like the mis-adjested antenna theory myself.

No-Talent? Kent? Maybe someone has a contact at KCBS to find out?

Looking at KCBS's night pattern at http://www.fccinfo.com , they have a slight lobe towards us.

KNBR is non-directional, and KGO has a figure-8 pattern with the north lobe aimed at us.

Another good signal from San Francisco is 1100 KFAX with a lobe aimed at us.

Is KXL still on the air???
WHY?

I can hear KOAL under KXL here in Vancouver at night. Driving back from Corvallis one evening, KOAL was almost overpowering KXL even up into Salem. I'm surprised KXL doesn't complain about this.

Perhaps Craig Adams or someone else explained part of that, I think it was explined in the fishwrapper at the time KXL went full time or up'ed the night power 198?. There was some debate about who got "rights" to 750 at night (KXL vs. Utah). I think they made agreement to share so both could get on, as long as neither sent power towards Atlanta.
Can you also hear WSB?

KXL was a limited time station, ONLY protecting WSB. How could a newcomer possibly have better rights?

I once got a station from Fallon,Nevada on 750 AM
