Houston area radio notes (update thread)

I just want to say about a week ago La Calle 91.5 has been coming in a lot stronger. I wonder just how strong it would be if 91.7 didn’t have HD.

Where? I can’t hear it in The Heights nor in Greenspoint area.

Conroe. I can even find spots on my portable to hear it in the Woodlands. You should definitely hear it in The Heights but Greenspoint is really close to 91.7

I’m parked at the Joe Vs on west rd and am picking up La Calle on 91.5 with much less static than 102.5

On 610 and Wayside I couldn’t hear either 91.5 nor 102.5.

In Tomball I can only hear 102.5 and not 91.5.

The old thread was closed due to inactivity, but noting that the application to move the transmitter of K218EJ 91.5 to near Loop 610 and Hwy 288 as well as change frequency to 89.7 was dismissed by the FCC today. This would have been a translator for KHCB (AM) and there was chatter that the ultimate site destination was one of the downtown Houston buildings.

KHCB has resubmitted its application to move K218EJ to 89.7. Same transmitter location, with directional pattern very slightly tweaked, a little lower HAAT. One point of confusion: The application form proposes the existing 91.5 allocation, but the technical exhibits are all for 89.7. Did they get their numbers mixed up?

I wonder if the KHCB people even know how the 91.5 is running

what happened to Centro getting access to 95.3?
