I’m sorry to report that I just discovered Lefty Gomez of KLNJ Radio has pulled the plug.

Lefty was previously an Air Personallity at an AM in California. When the station owner decided to change programming and generally degrade the quality of the operation, Lefty decided to go it on his own.
He started KLNJ-DB, an internet radio station. He had a show on the commercial station known as Lefty After Dark which had a good following and he continued that show on his KLNJ-DB. After running that for a while he decided to get into Part 15 AM. That’s when he contacted me for some information. You may have noticed some of his posts on Part15.us from which he found me.
We collaborated for a short time as he asked if I would like to carry his After Dark show on my station which I did.
His internet stream went down two weeks ago and when I inquired he reported that a utility pole had been hit taking out his DSL and phone service. I continued to run After Dark from my archives and after a week, I inquired as to how it was coming.
There was no reply. Today, a week later, I checked the KLNJ-DB website to find a notice the station was no more. He states he is pulling out of Radio altogether and moving on to other endeavors.
I wish him well and hope he finds what he’s looking for.
