KRVN 880 Lexington, NE will be operating with 5000 Watts Non Directional at
night for awhile instead of the 50KW 4 tower directional. Work was being
done on the KRVN towers, diplexing KUVR 1380 into one of the towers and
hanging a translator antenna when some mis-wiring of electrical work
occurred after tower work was done which caused damage to the equipment
that facilitates the switch between Non Directional days and directional
nights.
KUVR and some sister stations were recently bought by The NRRA. KRVN is
moving from 500W Day at 62 Watts night form it's own tower site (but on an
STA with 30 Watts from it's studio roof) to 320 Watts daytime only from a
KRVN tower. KRVN uses one of it's towers by day, KUVR will use another and
when sunset comes, KUVR will sign off and KRVN will go directional when
this is all fixed. The cost of phasors and all the required equipment for
KUVR to stay on with peanut power at night would be extremely cost
prohibitive as they'd have to continue to use a KRVN tower and KRVN uses
all of them at night
