The internet and phones are turned off at the radio station.
This act has knocked the CAP EAS offline as CAP EAS is internet generated and considered first response.
I can not access the Sage EAS console without internet connection.
The CAP EAS being offline is a FCC violation.
This document is taken from the FCC Public File for KHIL and is available to the public at all times.
2008, Mark Lucke is running all the radio stations alone.
FCC Form 314 page 6 (filed with the FCC as a legal document in November 2017) clearly states that Mark Lucke owns 49% of Willcox Radio LLC.
April 1 2018 Mark Lucke receives his last salary payment from Willcox Radio (KHIL).
In spite of not being paid a cent since April 2018 this is what I managed to do for KHIL radio in 2018.
I alone repaired the tower light beacon and saved a couple of thousand dollars in engineer expenses.
Over three days I alone found and repaired the KHIL signal degradation points in the on air feeds and fixed KHIL’s on air signal. This alone saved several thousand dollars in engineer’s fees.
Well over fifty times I alone have fixed KHIL off air issues and returned the station back on air, for free.
Over a dozen times I alone have fixed EAS off air issues, for free.
I alone fixed the EAS CAP issue, for free.
In April 2019 KHIL was flagged for fines by the FCC for well overdue filing errors. Normally a radio station hires a FCC attorney to complete and submit these document. I did it on my own saving KHIL several thousand dollars in attorney fees and FCC fines and I did it for FREE!
Before the KHIL streaming was disconnected for non-payment of $80 a month I had an audience of 10,000+ listeners a day.
My website generates 5,000+ new hits a month for the radio stations.
The documentary “Lonesome Willcox” has generated worldwide interest in KHIL and me.
People have traveled to Willcox Arizona just to meet me in person from Tucson, Phoenix, California and Minnesota.
I generated advertising income of $16,672 for the year, against actual expenses of $26,453 for a loss of $9,781. Not bad for someone not being paid a single dime!
I almost paid the bills anyway, in spite of not being paid.
Several times during the summer heat, when temperatures were over 100 degrees inside this studio, people have had to leave the studio because the heat was too much for them and the advertising was lost.

In 2008 Mark and his son started sleeping at the radio station so Mark could be on site 24/7 to deter break ins, vandalism and theft, and to also be on site for off air emergencies after hours. Below is a picture of the old studio door after a break in attempt.
This door had to be replaced with a metal door.
November 23 2018 the station is sold to john oberreuter and his Willcox Radio LLC for $150,000.00
