<TITLE>KFCF operating at reduced power</TITLE>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A part in the KFCF transmitter has burned up and we are operating at 15% of normal power. Unfortunately, this happened during Thanksgiving week, making it difficult to find parts.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The replacement parts should be here Monday or Tuesday and hopefully we can resume operation at full power shortly thereafter.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Earlier this year, KVPR, Valley Public Radio, generously donated to us a used transmitter when they upgraded their transmitter. That will allow us to use that transmitter as a backup transmitter. We have been working on installing that transmitter over the last few weeks, and had been able to install a switching system, dummy load (about $5,000 worth of equipment) and get the building ready to move the transmitter inside, and complete wiring, tuning and testing the backup transmitter.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Unfortunately, we did not get that project finished before this happened, so we will be at reduced power for a few days. We hope to finish the back-up transmitter project by early to mid-December. The backup transmitter will mean more reliability for KFCF staying on the air at full power, and allow us to maintain and service the main transmitter while remaining on the air.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Again, our thanks to KVPR for their generous donation, and our apologies for the weaker signal.</FONT>
