Let's take a look at the equipment racks behind in the above photo. They are quite impressive at this 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 intrepid 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. |

No visit to Fosston, MN, would be complete without a stop at the A&W Restaurant on the west side of town. This classic wall-mural is worth stopping to see inside the building. The food is great too. |
