Country on 103-7?

I'm picking up country music interfering with the KAHL translator near downtown San Antonio. K279AB is fighting it, but the country station is making its presence known. Looked up what it could be and found "The Buck" KAXA out of Mountain Home, Texas is likely the culprit.

Mountain Home? Never heard of it...I always figured KXAI would be the one to cause Call grief.

Storms are north of us which is likely contributing to the interference to Call 103-7, but when did the Mountain Home station come on the air? I've never heard it before while here in San Antonio.
 
I looked up KAXA and found it was from the Kerrville area. Not sure when it came on either.
 
It's been on a year or two as I recall. Naturally, it is really a Kerrville station since Mountain Home is only a few miles away. Mountain home 'proper' might be 75 people with several hundred in the area. I recall stopping in to the Mountain Home store back around 1985 or so. As I recall, it had maybe $50 worth of groceries in the whole store. I recall getting a Coke, pulling it from a six pack that was in the refrigerated case a few other six pack of soft drinks with one or two missing from the six pack next to a single gallon of milk.

The lady that ran the store was the mother of the ranchers that were accused of picking up vagrants off I-10 and then forcing them to work their ranch. Some came up missing and were supposedly killed and buried on the ranch. I don't recall how that all worked out...if they were found guilty or not.
 
kaxa mtn home

I put kaxa on the air in Jan 12. The call sign is for my grandaughter Alexa. Sold the station to Tom Gerhart late 2012. Transmitters is near mtn home and studio in kerrville.

Thanks for checking in and replying, George. That's the first time I've personally heard the station, as I've not wandered up towards Kerrville in quite awhile. It sure was making a mess out of KAHL's translator last night.

B-Turner, that description would fit most of the small towns around this State, lol. Have you ever been to Nada? Let's just say the town is aptly named. The grocery store has 3 aisles, one register, and a journal under the counter filled with I.O.U.'s from local patrons (all 50 something of them) who've been extended a credit line. It's off of Highway 71, 3 miles south of Garwood.

Don't blink your eyes because you will literally miss it...
 
Love those little country stores.

It seems, if I recall, I saw KAXA listed somewhere, found a website with streaming and listened for a while. I'm guessing George is saying January 2012 if it is the station I;m thinking of. Kerrville has so much more radio these days. When I was there it was KERV, KRVL and KITE. Jim Withers still had the Bandera station running Contemporary Christian at the time and KFAN in Fredericksburg was fairly new in the Texas Rebel Radio Americana format.
