96.3FM RnB Signal

WOW, I picked this up in Florence and kept it all the way down to Luling. How many watts is this station? Where is the tower to have such a range for a small station to have such a large range? Funny that this small local RnB station has a much larger reach than 104.9 The Horn.

So 250 watts allows one to hear them from Florence to Lulling? WOW!

Fiesta 97.1 translator could be heard all the way to Luling and Giddings as well. Those Austin translators aren't a joke. They pack a punch when it comes to real estate covered.
