KFBK, Sparky. Check out their co-linear antennas. Very cool.

(Just setting the record straight-**** you very much)

The antennas are called Franklin antennas, consisting of a fed top half
wave
section with another, insulated from the top, half wave below it. Most
efficient AM antenna design known.

You didn't own one of those either.

Maybe KFBK will let you pretend that you own theirs!

Actually, they have several. KFBK is, I think, the only directional built
with Franklins.

Wow, you can then pretend to own something very unique.

KFI has vastly better coverage than KNX.and gets four times the

Of course, the fact that the KFI transmitter is not even IN LA County
escapes you.

Unlikely. Since earthquakes generally run less than 60 seconds, changing
station during them is improbable.

KFWB-AM 980 kHz is only 5 KW from Los Angeles, CA.
which is 10% of the Power (50 KW) of both KFI and KNX.

KFWB is a different story in that it's 'local' Service Area
in the South ends around San Clemente.
http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin...atus=L&hours=U

KFWB would have to have at least 25 KW during
the Day to be a 'local' in the San Diego Metro Area
and maybe 10 KW at night.

As I responded to Roy,
Yes KFI is among the San Diego offerings,
even if not thought of as a 'news' station like KNX is.
I was still thinking of the weak, almost non-existant KFWB.

Hey Fraklestein, see, I can acknowledge my mistakes,
maybe you could try it too?

None of the three program for or have any interest in listenership in San
Diego, signal or not.

It's the addled moments right after the shaking stops that people will
change stations, or even turn the radio on if it wasn't already,
whereas 'during' the event, they are likely trying to decide if they
should evacuate their structure or just hold onto something.

You said, "during an earthquake." And that is wrong.

An earthquake event is considered to consist of a series of shocks
and after the initial one there are usually several aftershocks with the
interludes consisting of anxious people tuning to KNX.
I can see why so many people think you're such a nit picking jerk.

Look up the definition of the word 'pedant'.

Or better yet:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedant

Note the 'Usage of term' and the 'Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder'
sections.

They just pay Tom Reopelle to hang out here, is that it?
There's not much San Diego news that KNX doesn't cover.

They only occasionally get any ratings at all there, and Tom is there it
report SoCal news for LA metro listeners, not for SD listeners. It's
abureau, not a local service.

An aftershock is a separate earthquake or temblor. It's a separate incident.
