Houston area radio notes (update thread)

Tropos was really strong this morning. Seems like we’ll get a repeat tonight

It's kinda interesting to me that y'all don't hear KKMY on 104.5 from the Triangle more often. It used to be a regular in Houston, nearly on par with KIOC in frequency of visits.

I hear them a lot and sometimes with HD locks up north. A lot of Beaumont signals are common. Just gotta find spots where it’s stronger than the translators

When the city's KZCW-LP is off (pretty common), I can typically grab KKMY up here.

I don’t think I’ve noticed KZCW ever off alongside KZCC. I’m not in Willis much lately. But KZCC has sounded terrible for over a year now I’m pretty sure

At a check a couple of weeks ago in The Woodlands, KZCC had low, tinny audio. Was not in range of KZCW.

A lot of my radios when I'm close to KZCC will bleed over on 105.9 & 106.3 and that audio is a lot louder. KZCW typically sounds fine oddly enough. I figured if anything it would be the other way around.

It's sounded terrible for years... each station is broadcasting in stereo, but audio is only in one channel. If you want proper stereo, you'll need to get two radios, and be in range of both signals. :ROFLMAO:

Nothing Major, just wanted to share that 101.5 FM Radio Amistad, well I just noticed it.

K268CW seems to be getting out farther to the north the past couple of months. Around NW Harris County I would usually hear a weak KLJJ with occasional reception of K268CW, but the translator signal has improved a bit, which makes me wonder if its directional pattern is a bit out of whack.

Should note that KOER 101.5 (licensed to Cypress) has been off the air since May, 2023. A silent STA was granted a month later, but since then there have been no additional STA extension filings. I assume the station is gone for good, and the FCC hasn’t gotten around to officially cancelling the license. Had been thinking if the KOER license was deleted it might allow one or both of the LPFM applicants for 104.5 in Tomball to move to 101.5 and avoid interference from K283CH.
