Public license information

KXST's transmitter is near Nellis Air Force Base and Interstate 15, on East Tropical Parkway; the sale of the site is a factor in the station's current silence. It was powered at 10,000 watts by day, using a non-directional antenna. Because AM 1140 is a clear channel frequency reserved for XEMR in Monterrey, Mexico, and WRVA in Richmond, Virginia, KXST reduced its power to 2,500 watts and used a directional antenna at night.
