KFRR signal

[Tomgsinger]

While looking on FCCdata, I was quite shocked to see that a station that markets towards Fresno can sufficiently do such when it's fringe signal doesn't reach any of the city. While looking on radio locator, their new Google Maps feature shows a coverage area similar to most of the other Visalia/Tulare stations that target Fresno, with it's local signal covering roughly half of Fresno. Which map is the most accurate?

The one that is like the other stations on Eshom point, that FCC data map that show them at 1900 ft Sea Level is wrong, KFRR is at 5200 ft Sea Level and can be heard from Kern County to Merced County just like the other stations up there.

You are correct.

There was a typo in the FCC's database. For a while, KFRR's "Above Mean Sea Level" was listed as 590 meters (1,935 feet). That's not correct, having omitted a leading 1, as in 1,590 meters (5,216 feet).

It has already been corrected on both the FCC site and Radio-Locator.

I have picked up the Eshom Point stations from Santa Clara county all the way down into Los Angeles county.

I've heard 98.9 KSOF driving on the 5 past Gorman almost to Pyramid Lake; beyond that it gets stepped on by 98.7 KYSR from LA.
104.1 KFRR and 97.1 KSEQ easily reach to Tejon Pass (after that point, LA stations interfere).

Reception high up on the pass can be interesting, weather permitting, I can often pick up 91.1 XETRA or 90.3 XHITZ from Tijuana at the same time I get Fresno stations.
