History
The station went on the air as KPUP on August 2, 2000. On July 22, 2003, the station changed its call sign to the current KPKK.[2]
On February 4, 2010, KPKK went silent due to financial reasons. Even when the station resumed transmissions, financial and technical issues continued to dog the station. It went silent again on January 24, 2012, and though it later resumed operations, it cited technical reasons for going silent in 2013 and 2015.
gollark: They need to be able to operate independently of the network, or everything will go horribly wrong if they go into a tunnel, or there's a temporary outage.
gollark: Honestly it doesn't seem useful for *that*, either.
gollark: I can see it being used for specialty applications like that, sure, but it does *not* seem useful in a generic router-type device.
gollark: It honestly seems mostly pointless though, given that it doesn't go through walls and apparently works at roughly... cable ranges.
gollark: I've never heard it called WiFi type C, I thought it was just 802.11ad or something.
