FM Band Opening Today

D

daypart

Looks like we might have a temperature inversion today. Driving around North Central SA tonight, my car radio was picking up distant FM stations from Victoria, Corpus and KTHT Cleveland.
 
I picked up an active rock on 106.1, no idea where that's from. And around the same time, heard a guy reading a book on 104.9.
 
Nice catches. I was able to pick up KZEP, KSMG, KISS, KAJA, KXXM and even KTFM in Houston at the sw loop today.
 
I picked up KBXX like a local almost all day, KYBI came in very clear last night, I never caught that station before.
 
Living over in Marble Falls, I'm quite often treated to stations from both East and West Texas as they shoot straight up or down the Colorado river basin...becoming real familiar with a station in El Dorado and 106.9 in Houston and going down the hills I can get Waco 100 clear as a bell, it's fun when you're not paying attention and all of a sudden you hear a format that you swear wasn't there before.

106.1 was most probably KIOC - Orange

That would be my guess, too. I can't think of too many active rockers on 106.1 let alone ones that would be in the same area as the rest of those signals. When tropo or skip starts coming in, you usually get stations from roughly the same area.
 
I'm regularly able to pick up KBNU 93.9 out of Uvalde in Northwest San Antonio (clearly), when the FM band opens.
