KYFR (920 AM) is a noncommercial radio station broadcasting a religious radio format. Located near Shenandoah, Iowa, USA, the station serves the Omaha area as well as portions of Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. The station is owned by Family Radio.^[1] The station began in 1925, when Henry Field of Henry Field Seed and Nursery Co. founded radio station KFNF. Rival station KMA began the same year, also founded by Earl May, owner of another seed company. In the 1970s, the station was called KFNF and featured farm news and country music.

Antenna System

The antenna array is located 3 miles north of the Iowa and Missouri border, near the town of Coin, Iowa. The system uses four 83.1 m (273 ft) towers arranged in a directional array. During daytime hours, three of the towers are used with the transmitter operating at 5,000 watts. At nighttime, all four towers are used when the transmitter power is reduced to 2,500 watts.^[2] The array provides two main lobes generally oriented northwest and southwest, ensuring coverage of the Omaha-Council Bluffs area both day and night. The array also minimizes nighttime interference to co-channel stations WGNU (Granite City, Illinois), KDHL (Faribault, Minnesota), and WOKY (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) among others.^[3]
