KYPA originally was KGFJ. Located near downtown LA, the horizontal antenna served for many years. In 2003, the new ownership decided to diplex 1230 into one of the six towers for the 1580 station, KBLA (KDAY). However, the coverage from the vertical antenna on 1580 was very poor compared to the original location.  The station was forced to return to its long time home, high atop an almost vacant building. 

Thanks for visiting ... I hope you find the site interesting!
