1010/1210 AM DXs in central Texas

D

Dondd

A surprising catch last night. From the Georgetown, TX, area north of Austin, in central Texas, caught 2 stations I hadn't heard before.
Either the signal faded by top of hour or was unable to hear an ID when tried listening.

Each was carrying Kansas State University Sports Network's coverage of the KSU- Louisiana Bowl game in Houston.

The football game on 1010 was weaker compared to the dominant nearby KBBW, in Waco, a religious broadcaster. Turning the radio brought in the game.

1210 sounds like KGYN in Guymon, OK. It's a long ways away, but its 10k nighttime signal's contour includes my area.

Can't figure which stations they were. Neither team's sports network page lists affiliates on 1010 or 1210.

Contour maps follow.

I wish you would stop calling the map contours "coverage areas" of stations.

Those maps show directionality and relative power. If they used a smaller scale, the lower power stations would look like pinheads, even if they were more realistic.

Another example: KXPS on 1010 in the Coachella Valley, CA. Daytime, it does not fully cover the areas between Palm Springs and Thermal in the valley. Nights, it loses the entire southwestern part of the valley, from Indian Wells to Thermal. Pull up a detailed map of this area and look at what I am describing vs. the maps you are seeing.

I have given you other examples of real coverage.

@Dondd Here in DFW, by aiming E/W, 1010-WJXL in Jacksonville, FL is a regular nighttime visitor with their sports programming. A bit surprising given their pattern is mostly to the east. You might try for them there in your area north of Austin.

Will check that out. That station's pattern looks like it could bleed into central Texas.

I've Id'd 1210. It's KGYN, Guymon, one of the "dozens of" stations carrying Joe Pags.

That's the one. Heard it tonight, faintly against the relatively weak KBBW, which is weaker (here north of Austin) at night.
ID'd the Jacksonville station by commercials for businesses in St. Augustine and the Jacksonville area.
Sounds like a sports betting program.

I've had KGYN 1210 Guymon, OK up here in central Alaska, quite well too.
