Pirate at 102.3 (NW OKC)

Scooby214 · Jul 27, 2011

I think there may be a pirate on the air at 102.3 FM. I can get it in fairly well near I-44 and NW 23rd Street. It has been airing Alex Jones every time I've turned over to it. I have heard it in the past at 107.1, though it has been over a year since I've caught it on air. I can't find anything in the FCC database that makes it appear legitimate.

That's pretty good coverage. Is it a legitimate station or translator?

It's not a FCC licensed station, well, at least the BROADCAST station.....

I'm surprised this hasn't hit the alt.conspiracy.black.helicopters Usenet group

Why would someone even bother to try to do this anymore
with the internet and streaming? I admit it would be kinda
fun to put something together to see how far it would go,
but it is not worth it.

When I was visiting family in Bella Vista, AR there was a Christmas
display that broadcast on 102.3 that HAD to be using a pretty powerful
exciter because it blasted 5 miles past the Missouri border.

Wasnt there a reresenative in Oklahoma that was wanting
to issue permits for radio stations thru the state?

Yes. Mr. Key. Irronically, his dad was a former TV engineer here in the market, so he is no stranger to our industry.

Ok - Thanks. Forgot the name. It would be kind of funny and crazy
if something were to happen with that. I was looking and it looks like
OKC won't be a canidate for the new LPFM's that will be coming up
for bidding soon.

There is a freeze on new translator apps recently imposed for LPFM in metros. I honestly don't know how that's going to affect the availablity of LPFM in this market. New LPFMs aught to be put in the old TV 2-6 band on a secondary basis IMHO. But, the FCC and it's politics probably won't allow that to ever happen.
