Some technical issue with 13 KKOL radio. One part of the transmitter was being replaced and another issue became evident.

The Salem station filed this with the FCC (excerpt):

In accordance with 73.1560(d), notification is being given that KKOL is operating at a power level less than 90% of the licensed authorized power. Specifically, KKOL is operating at a reduced daytime and nighttime power of 3.0 kW while employing the licensed directional antenna parameters for each mode. On August 31, 2025, KKOL began operating at reduced power due to a failed part that provides a sample voltage to the controller.

The second filing, in part… On September 24, 2025, a Notification of Reduced Power was filed with the FCC because KKOL was operating at a power level less than 90% of the licensed authorized power(s).

The transformer has now been replaced by the engineer. An additional technical issue has surfaced which prevents KKOL from returning to the full licensed daytime and nighttime power levels… Special Temporary is herein requested to continue operation at a reduced daytime and nighttime power of 3.0 kW until all repairs can be completed and full authorized power can be achieved. (Seattle Radio Board)
