106.1 Gen X Radio Tulsa applies for construction permit

[wxman76]

Looks like KTGX 106.1 (Gen X Radio) has applied for a new constuction permit to provide a better signal to Tulsa. Less wattage...but on one of the tall sticks east of Broken Arrow, instead of being on a shorter tower out by Lake Oolagah.

Yup. That app has been there for a while.

I still remember when that Lake Oolagah tower went up in the mid 80's with a flashing strobe that could be seen for miles. Some locals called the police thinking it was a UFO.

Smart move for CC, I remember 106.1 always having signal problems in the southwest part of Tulsa.

I agree. 106.1 also had some trouble in and around midtown Tulsa, hence the 93.5 translator that used to be at the fairgrounds. I lived less than a mile from the fairgrounds and often found K-Lite, later KOOL, 102 from Oklahoma City sounded better on a car radio in that area than KOOL 106.

Just for the record 93.5 was never at the fairgrounds. It was on a building near East 41st Street and Skelly Bypass before moving to the CC facility on Memorial.

Yup. It ran something like 9 watts off of the roof of the building next door to the Remington building.
