FM stations Aux/Back-up sites

[OldChicago]

Since the FM's on the Senior Road tower are using their Aux sites now, does
anyone know where these aux sites are actually located?

Most of the aux sites are on the Richland tower...which is south of the Sr Road tower...(western edge of the Mo City antenna farm and the American tower is the southern most on that side)..KHMX has an aux on the 102.9 tower east of downtown but they supposively have built a new aux site on the Richland tower as well..so it is likely on the air instead of Ennis St.

The towers can be found by going to:
http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/AsrSearch/asrRegistrationSearch.jsp
and enter Missouri City Texas in the search.....

The aux sites can be found by using the FCC FM search(licensed to Houston):
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?stat...&slat2=&NS=N&dlon2=&mlon2=&slon2=&EW=W&size=9

For 92.9 (licensed to Pasadena):
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?stat...&slat2=&NS=N&dlon2=&mlon2=&slon2=&EW=W&size=9

Note the stations on Sr Road are:

92.9 KKBQ
94.5 KTBZ
95.7 KHJZ
96.5 KHMZ
97.9 KBXX
99.1 KODA
100.3 KILT
101.1 KLOL
104.1 KRBE

Look for the FS (which is the designation for AUX stations in the FCC database) and you can see there are numerous aux stations for a number of stations..the file number shows the year as the 1st 4 digits and the later files are the most recent and likely the Aux site in service...(CP or licensed)

Which is the most powerfull Aux. site or are they all on the same antenna // power? It seems like on my radio out at lavaca county 97.9 was the most powerfull one, but then they would even go out every now and then.
