I’ve posted the 2025 EAS Regular Monthly Test calendar for 2025 here. 

The San Diego EAS Plan is undergoing a minor change to include the LP1 and LP2 HD2 and translator stations you may monitor. We’ll let you know when the plan has been approved by the state.

In late November, the FCC approved the Construction Permit for the Social Justice Advocates application at 106.1 MHz.

KOGO (AM) 600 kHz started broadcasting full-time from their new site at the west end of Santee beginning October 28, 2024. iHeart filed with the FCC a License to Cover the Construction Permit for that move from Emerald Hills. At the new site, KOGO will operate with a transmitter output of 9,000 watts daytime, 10,000 watts nighttime, both directional to the southwest with a slightly different pattern than they had at the old site. The extra power from their previous 5 kW output is needed to compensate for the inefficiency of the short antenna (69°) designed for KFMB (now KGB-AM)  at 760 kHz, and the losses due to multiple matching and filter devices used to multiplex with KGB-AM. 

When KLNV 106.5 and KWFN 97.3 are finished moving to the KGB-FM tower, owner Vertical Bridge will be free to convert the old Emerald Hills site property to a residential development. 

KOGO had been at the Emerald Hills site since 1948, when its callsign was KFSD.
