I am curious if your engineers are still working on the 104.9 signal? Several weeks ago I noticed a bit of improvement in the SDSU area although 90.7 is still a little better.
My area of La Mesa is still unlistenable on either frequency. It seems odd that I can receive KUSC, 125 miles away, but not your station less than 25 miles.
Dare I still hope that your signal will improve and reach downtown La Mesa?

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to your broadcast of Lyric's performance of La Traviata earlier this afternoon. It definitely made coming in to the office on a Saturday much more enjoyable. Thank you. |

What a joy to receive your signal about 100 miles from your transmitter. We do not have any type of antenna and yet the signal comes in very well. Your music is a joy. Thank you.

I assume that Ricardo intended his comments for me not Jim who i was responding to so i thought i'd answer his question.... I am not part of KPFK's staff. I am someone who cares about free speech in a media context where only about 5 corporations control over 90% of the media in this country. I believe the public has become dumbed down due to a lack of range in opinion, perspective and news content in this country (a serious threat to democracy) and San Diego is one of the worse places for media in this regard. KPFK fills an absolute void here in San Diego in this respect. Further, KPFK has covered San Diego terrain since it went on the air in 1959 and is protected under the law in this regard as a grandfathered (before the laws on power and height of antenna changed in 1962) class B station who's signal can't be infringed upon within a 150 mile radius. You can look all this stuff up on line if you ever want to read up on it.... Hence, 90.7 was never XLNC1's frequency to begin with. As a listener of XLNC1, i am glad to have XLNC1 here in San Diego but it need not be at the expense of KPFK in violation of FCC rules. The solution is to have two listener sponsored stations here in San Diego not one on two frequencies. We should have the best of both worlds wouldn't you agree....? |

Hey can you update the RBDS for the music you play? For the last half hour it has said "by Richard Wagner". |

I just renewed my 8 year old son's membership. We are both taking cello together! He, my 4 year old daughter and I listen ONLY to XLNC1 in the van and at night we fall asleep to it. My daughter says classical music is her favorite music. How cool is that?! |

I really enjoyed you opera this past Sunday. We don't often get the chance to hear gems like this performed by first rate casts. I am now looking forward to the better known Otello coming up this Sunday |

Jim, Are you part of the KPFK Staff?
Why do you want to use the XLNC1's coverage area?
KPFK does not have to cover San Diego.
How ambitious can KPFK be? |

In response to Jim from El Cajon below..., I for one am looking forward to the completion of XLNC1's transition to 104.9 and the ending of this simulcast on 90.7 so that the controversy over 90.7 with KPFK will finally be over and we can again have an independent listener sponsored public affairs radio station here in San Diego. Just like it was since 1959 when KPFK went on the air up until this mistake with granting XLNC1 their license on the same frequency. We in San Diego deserve both great classical music and listener supported public affairs just like other great cities such as LA, SF, NY, DC etc... So to answer Jim (if I may), even if it were cost effective to keep simulcasting on 90.7 it would not be the right thing to do and would be to the detriment of the greater San Diego county. More to the point..., I'd like to know when the simulcast will finally stop and I can program two stations on those frequency presets instead of just one? |

PLEASE TELL US IF IT IS COST PROHIBITIVE TO CONTINUE SIMUALCASYING ON 90.7 SO THAT WE IN THE EAST COUNTY CAN CONTINUE RECEIVING XLNC FM. |

I live on Wahl St near Mission Gorge Rd on the west end of Santee. Not only can I still not get 104.9, I am no longer able to receive anything on 90.4. Is there any hope that I will ever be able to receive your broadcasts? Am missing your wonderful music! |

04-27/08 - Reading the emails I notice that some folks still have poor reception indoors. For what it's worth I get reception indoors in ONLY ONE spot. To fix the issue I bought a UTV/FM indoor powered antenna at WalMart in San Marcos for $8.99. Since then I get good reception in ANY part of my house. In Rancho Bernardo along Bernardo road etc. the reception is poor with quite a bit of disturbance. Anyway as long as I get good reception in my house I'm somewhat satisfied. Thanks. |
