103.3 will stop microdosing on LSD

Just announced that 103.3 K277DH San Diego (250w vertical/-50m signal) will switch from rebroadcasting iHeart’s “1360 The Patriot” KLSD to Crawford’s 1240 KNSN (which simulcasts 740 KBRT Costa Mesa).

How well does 103.3 come in across San Diego? The signal is supposed to cover from south of downtown up to Del Mar and east toward La Mesa. Do people find it to be a servicable signal?

KNSN is also heard on the far smaller 103.3 K277DG San Diego, which is audible just to the south and east of downtown. But by bundling the two together, it will enable Crawford to optimize these two signals, which are on the same frequency, in a way that may combine for a far more formable duo. Thoughts?
 
I think that's precisely what Crawford wanted to do, and they were willing to swap a translator in Denver with better coverage to iHeart in exchange to do it.
 
This is interesting, I live in the University Heights area which is on a bluff south of I-8, 5 miles are less from the K277DH transmitter site ..

All I hear loud and clear in stereo is KRUZ 103.3! Which is in Santa Barbara. It is seriously coming in as well as any local FM.

As it always has. Especially if that bluff gives you a better line-of-sight to Broadcast Peak, up in Los Padres National Forest about 17 miles northwest of Santa Barbara proper.

However (and I know this from experience, because when I was at KTMS/Y97 I was the backup Chief Operator) driving there requires using a route that is over 35 miles long, and because of terrain and road conditions takes close to two hours. Each way. And requiring a 4x4.
 
I didn't realize that K277DH moved from nr. Claremont Mesa Dr and the 163, to Mt. Soledad. So, line of site is more like 9 miles. Looking at coverage map, I can see why they are unlistenable in my area.
