K236AR-FM overpowered?

[HTX]

I can listen as far as way as Willis. I don’t think it’s tropos because I can’t hear other lowered stations by there.

The 1800' antenna height helps. I haven't noticed any change in Sangeet Radio's 95.1 signal at my Cy-Fair location, though it is somewhat squeezed these days by the KLVL translator on 94.9.

Wonder how the South Asian FMs are doing with the target audience, now that we have four of them (Sangeet, Masala, Dabang, Hum.)

I could see that antenna helping. And I haven’t noticed this station coming in before. I can usually fringe listen to KNDY in Magnolia. I’ve heard this station come in kind of strong in magnolia/ the woodlands even with KTTF and the KHJK translator on 95.3

In the Sugar Land Area and can't pick up 95.1FM K236AR . I'm getting KNDE 95.1 College Station.

That’s bizarre, considering the licensed TX site is in Mo City.

K236AR is coming in loud and clear as it always does at my house in south Montgomery County.

Just an educated guess, but given the antenna height of K236AR, combined with heavy tropo from the northwest, could result in a situation where the local 95.1 signal is "going over your head" while KNDE is being ducted towards you at a much lower atmospheric height. The elevation of the atmospheric duct sometimes allows lower antenna heights to get out better than the tall sticks.

I was actually on south side today on 288 and beltway and I could see the towers but I was picking up Beaumont’s KYKR crystal clear. Definitely tropo affecting K236AR because I could hear programming better on KBRZ than K236AR and normally it’s the other way around.

Weird, it seems like K236AR is broadcasting KNDY slightly delayed and a lot quieter

I hear it loud and clear here in Tomball....

K236AR got hit with a violation notice in 2013 for running their own programming separate from the station it's licensed to repeat, and using Internet instead of an off-air signal.

I have a feeling the FCC isn't going to be too kind if they find out about the overpowering.

K236AR got hit with a violation notice in 2013 for running their own programming separate from the station it's licensed to repeat, and using Internet instead of an off-air signal.

The notices says that what they were rebroadcasting was unintentionally not what they wished to broadcast; the violation was not carrying the correct programming as well as not receiving it off the air.

At the time of inspection, station K236AR was rebroadcasting programming it had not intended to rebroadcast.

Similarly, the Japanese unintentionally bombed Pearl Harbor.
