Here's your Sept 15th, 2006 update.. The transmission equipment installation is complete and K241AT has finished the testing process. The final paperwork has been filed with the FCC and K241AT's permanant license should be issued around September 9th. In the meantime, K241AT is operating under "Automatic Program Test Authority". If you are in the Flour Bluff or Padre Island areas, you will hear K241AT on 96.1 MHz relaying KXTM in Benavides TX. This is the normal function of K241AT unless there is a local emergency. Then 96.1 will go live with local info for The Bluff and The Island. To reset what we already know, Palmsradio is broadcasting on an SCA channel of a local FM translator station. The station is permitted to Flour Bluff. It operates on 96.1 MHz and has now commenced regular operation. It provides a good SCA signal over all of Flour Bluff and SCA coverage on Padre Island is encouraging. As you know, SCA requires a special radio. We will have these radios available for purchase for less than the charge for a month of cable, very soon. Or you can purchase the one we recommend here. RadioSCA.com These are the radios we use here at the station. As you know, there is NOT a subscription fee or recurring charge for Palmsradio. It works just like your existing radio. (In fact, if we ever fail to entertain or inform you, a PALMSRADIO receives regular AM & FM stations.) And there is MORE good news. There is currently a petition before the FCC to allow translators to locally originate programming, which would eliminate the need for the SCA radio. The Rule Number is RM-11331. Feel free to comment to the FCC if you'd like to see this modification passed. Click here to Listen That's all for now. Look for us to try to pick up Flour Bluff Football as the season progresses. You can reach our operation at (361)-939-9792. Thanks for your continued moral support. We're for real. And we're on the air NOW. Look for all the details to be worked out soon. "9/15/06"
