Houston Stations strong in San Antonio

[sdh483]

I was picking up 106.9 The Point last night in my area clear with no interference from 106.7 (thank God). I also got in La Raza 103.3, Recuerdo 106.5, Sunny 99.1, 97.9 The Box, Mix 96.5, and even KHJZ Smooth Jazz 95.7 over La Ley. I was only able to get these stations for about an hour before the "storm" moved out of the area. Pretty much all excep the point, 95.7 and 106.5 are H-town stations I can get on a regular basis but not usually all at the same time. To you Houstonians, I freakin love yoru radio stations, even though some are from the big corporate giants, they still have better programming, personality, variety, even commercials that SA radio will ever have.

Actually KONO is sooo much better than KLDE. I love tuning in KONO everytime I visit. The imaging is hipper than KLDE's. The KONO tones are cool! When I approached S.A. a couple weeks ago, I heard static on the FM from Seguin until I reached the inner loop. I ended up switching to AM, something which I'm not used to. While in Weimar I tried to go back to KLDE but KXTN was very strong so I listened to the AM. Is it normal for KONO to have interference from Seguin to I-410? It doesn't seem to be a strong signal at all since I experienced interference from KLOL the whole time. But why is it on both FM and an AM?

KONO has been on AM 86 for years and years, before my time. In fact, when KSAT came on air back in the late 50s I believe, it was KONO-TV. I believe they began broadcasting on FM in the early 90s, but as a youngster, we listened to KONO on AM in the family Dodge becasue we had an AM only radio....well it had FM but the it was broken. I agree, I like KONO better than KLDE-they do have great tones, something that is VERY RARE in radio today since most like to scream out their tones to loud explosions in the background. But KONO used to be a lot better when they played 50s music, somethign I see is dissapperaing from oldies stations, as well as the label oldies. now most are "the hits of the 60s and 70s." I miss hearing old Elvis, The Platters and all that good stuff now. Good thing I have my Time-Life 50s cd set haha. As for Interfierence in the Seguin area, KXTN is the closer signal and is part of the lineup in Seguin with a few Austin stations, but I never experienced signal problems on 107.5. I do get Sunny 99.1 pretty clear on 35 between Seguin and San Marcos.
