We have a situation at KBBI-AM, Homer where they cannot receive
KSRM-AM in Kenai/Soldotna 90 miles away because the noise floor has
increased so much over the years that it is almost impossible to even
hear the distant AM. KBBI-AM operates KDLL-FM, Kenai as a LMA and
the two stations are interconnected via fiber. I take a back feed
from the AM EAS monitor at KDDL and feed it down the fiber to the
input of the KBBI-AM Sage-Endec. Sort of a ninety mile long extension cord!
