Tom Lano, Sports Director for KKCQ AM/FM, is in giving the latest scores from area games. He is heard on the KKCQ-AM 1480 KHz transmitters in the same building and the 25,000 watt KKCQ-FM 96.7 MHz facility at 328 feet some 9 miles away. |

Let's take a look at the equipment racks behind in the above photo. They are quite impressive. Jim Offerdahl has done an excellent job putting them together as the "hub" of the radio facility. |

| Not shown here is a 4.3 KW Best uninterruptible power supply that we sold the station to keep the equipment running during a power outage before the backup power generator automatically starts and comes online. |

Here is your hapless engineer, Mark Persons, making spectrum analyzer performance measurements on the KKCQ-AM transmitters. One is a CSI T-5-A which runs 5000 during the day and 500 watts from 6 AM to sunrise. The other is a Gates BC-250GY which is capable of 250 watts and runs 90 watts at night. Both feed into a unipole tower. The frequency is 1480 KHz. More information on unipoles. |
