San Diego/emergency alert stations

Also, the other problem with any of the LF stations becoming an LP-2 is that the two Soledad stations don't have backup generator power.  Yes there's a gen up there big enough to handle the entire hill, but the cost of getting connected is something LF considers out of reach, especially since Soledad so seldom loses power.

One other comment on LF becoming an LP-2, all three of the stations run on a T-1 (unless Bill has changed things since I left) and all three are backed up with a two hop STL that runs through Hillcrest.  The equipment is atop Green Manor, a retirement home, and is on their backup generator.  We have had occasions in my history when the Green Manor gen failed, so you could potentially lose the T-1's and have the gen at Green Manor fail.  There is a direct STL shot to the frequency agile transmitter on San Miguel, and if aux power was installed there (it's only a 2K transmitter), that could fill the hole in the swiss cheese, but coverage from San Miguel is not the best.  I hope I'm not pissing Bill of jumping in here.

But at least you stood up and made the offer, John. Something no one else ever did.

Thank you for the recognition.  I did at the time and do still respect the concept of serving the public interest.
