The environmental restrictions might be valid if they are planning any
kind of commercial activity on the site.  I would think that they would
be thrilled to have the ground plane when the water rises, if they
are a transmitter site.

I'd bet dogs to donuts that any AM broadcaster would love to set up there.

Heresay is more like it.

If this is the parcel I am thinking of, I believe that it also used to
be the site of a VLF ground wave transmitter.  Part of an experiment
in communications with ships at sea and coast to coast transmissions.
Super super power.

You haven't listened to some of those ship operators pound brass.  Some of
the old timers have been clocked in excess of 100 wpm.  Also, CW seems to
be able to get through when other modes of communication can't.

Altho I am an amateur radio operator, I am not a CW buff.  I am awe struck
by anyone who can copy and send over 30 wpm.

Seems to me that $500K is cheap for that parcel.

Well, I found out what the radio facility is sitting next to Hiway 101
next to Palo Alto...  I had posted elsewhere on just what this was..

It is used for maritime communication..I suspected this, as my front end
overloads with CW and I suspected it was from this installation as I 
drove by it every day.  I thought maritime communication was modern 
in these times and I suspect that other aspects of maritime comm's use
up to date transmission modes...but CW appears still in use and extremely
cheap though slow.  

One of the towers apparently was used to notify Pearl Harbor of an
impending attack (which came too late...)

The City of Palo Alto would like to buy the property, but the owner
wants over 500k while the city has had the property appraised at around
350k I think.. now there is a fight between the property owner and 
the city about the duck pond in front..  interesting bit of info I 
thought.

Still on, at least was last Sunday it was.  I believe the week before 
Dave couldn't make it and there was a music show in his place 
(oh boy is it "fun" answering phones on that show! :-).

San Mateo is a sticky place for us, because there are some hill-shadows
around there.  Especially when it rains, because moisture detunes our
rather finicky antenna [it was not my choice to get the model we have], 
causing it to throw nulls in various directions.

The Dave is still alive and kicking.  Try putting up a higher antenna
for your receiver if it keeps giving you trouble...  ;-}

The 650 AM Sacramento station (KST now?) has been on for several years.
They recently changed format from their initial Spanish presentation to
talk radio. Their transmitter facility is a well engineered two or
three tower array just outside of town.  Each tower has a large
'capacity hat' to raise the current loop and enable shorter towers.

This signal seems to 'go everywhere' and has been on everyone's
Northern CA AM radio dial since the beginning.

Interested in noncommercial radio?

KZSU/Stanford is having its quarterly Organizational Meeting, wherein
anyone, Stanford affiliates or no, is invited to join us and check out
the opportunities available in news, sports, production, operations,
business, promotions, publicity, underwriting, music, DJing, engineering,
programming, public affairs... and so forth. We're mildly organized,
have great facilities, and could use your help.

7.30pm, Wednesday 6 January in History Corner room 2 on the Stanford campus.
For more info, phone 415 725 4868 just about any time.

From 101, take the Embarcadero exit and head West to Stanford. Embarcadero
turns into Galvez when you cross over El Camino onto the Stanford campus.
Go past the Campus Drive intersection; your next right will be Memorial
Way. KZSU is the first basement door on your left you'd see walking up
the courtyard between Memorial Way and the Biz School, the only
two buildings on Memorial Way.

From 280, take the Page Mill exit, and head toward Stanford/Palo Alto. Take a left
on Foothill Expressway, which turns into Junipero Serra. Take a right
at the second light onto Campus Drive, and cross over Palm
Drive; take your next right onto Memorial Way, and follow the rest of
the directions above.

If you aren't in the San Francisco Bay Region and got this message anyhow,
please note that the distribution was sent to ba (for Bay Area) -- please
don't yell at me -- your upstream sites are forwarding you non-local news.

Thanks, Steve... the CW I am hearing on 740 AM appear to be about 25 to 
30 WPM... I am an operator also and can send at about 40 WPM easily, 
but my receive sucks...you really have to keep it up !.. Also, the 
CW is very clean.. probably using an automated system or keyboard.

I guess there is more there than I thought.. I would like to check all
their antennas and such out, but its private property and I doubt they
would give tours.  

I would also have thought that the property was more valuable..but there
would be severe environmental restrictions because of it being in the 
middle of wetlands..I dont know.  The complex is complaining that the 
city's duck pond floods the area or something when the water level is
raised in the pond.. I thought they had drained it because of the 
mosquito problem..   

Again, thanks for the information.

tony.

Whatever happened to the Sunday night KFJC program that was called
"one step beyond" (I think).  The conspiracy show.  I haven't been
able to receive it the last month or so.  Is the show gone or has
something changed with the transmitter?  I am in San Mateo so I should
be able to hear it.

Nope.  Large low frequency transmitters have pretty complex antennas.
I don't know how many frequencies they actually transmit on, but it
is a far smaller number than the number of wires.  For an even large
example, go look at the large antenna arrays up on Pt. Reyes (also
for marine communications).

They look pretty typical of most marshes I've been in (that are *not*
polluted).  Perhaps I've missed some bad ones on the property, but
I'll bet it is normal marsh decay products.

Nope; never.  Those huge chunks are anchors for antenna arrays that
are no longer there.

Good question.  I would guess it's a transitory DX condition, like ground
wave propagation due to extra wet earth from the rains or something, but if
you were really curious you might call up their engineer and ask.

Please post what you find out!

[new sacramento station]

That station is relatively new, i.e. came up within the last ten years
as opposed to -say- KFBK which has been there for-bloody-ever. 

What I want to know is: when did KJAY 1430 shut down?  Did Jack Powell
die, or just retire?
