When a Main station fails, but the translators are still on air.

You might remember that KRKA Fort Collins had this problem last year, and the same result happened this year. It would appear that there was some maintenance on the 103.9 KRKA tower this year, as the outage was very short.

In the station's place is KRXP Pueblo, or "X103.9". The sound and RDS was spectacular for a station that's technically 165 miles away. The chain of command for KRKA seems to. e that 103.9 KRKA transmits the main signal over the air to 89.1 K206EO, which can pick it up the best on a hill west of Cheyenne. Then 89.1 relays that signal to 104.1 K281DD. As it occurs, The 89.1 tower is apparently tall enough to recieve stations line-of-sight from Colorado Springs, and this is the result.

Last year, when KRKA was off the air, the translators picked up KRXP, and then proceeded to pick up E-skip on 103.9 and retransmitted it on 89.1/104.1, which had me laughing.
