KFXR night ERP

Curl said:
Lets not forget the nightime IBOC problem for KFXR. I think WOAI has thankfully turned it off, but even 1170 in Tulsa can wipe out KFXR along LBJ in North Dallas at night. The weird effect is that when going UNDER a bridge, the 1190 signal suddenly improves because the IBOC from 1170 is cut off.

IBOC will save Ancient Modulation the same way AM Stereo did. ;)

In spite of 11~Ninety's spotty nighttime coverage, the fact remains that only three AMs reach all the Metroplex at night. It was also that way when the Old Scotsman bought land in Rockwall. But at least now, 5~Seventy and 8~Twenty aren't flip-flopping day and nite!
 
I also had a tour of both xmitter sites a a few years a go. Inside each building and walking between those 12 towers I could swear I was once again hearing Ken Dowe, Charlie Van Dyke, Mike Selden, Jim Tabor, Michael O'Shea and other great that blessed 1190 coming through the humming of the guy wires as the wind blew. Hair on my arms was standing up. What a great station it once was.

I was a business traveler around 2000 and had a trip to the DFW area. When there 1190 was in limbo playing fifties and sixties oldies. It was a strange feeling listening to 1190 that weekend; almost like walking through an abandon building. The shell was there with the signal and music, but the rest was missing. The best way to describe it was a radio ghost ship.
