KXBN B-92 reaching Vegas?

I

icycool7227

Has KXBN B-92 ever reached Las Vegas? What about on a clear night? This station is 50,000 watts from Cedar City, UT. I always thought you could get that station there by some chance but it never came in when I was there (even when it was on other frequencies) and wonder why.
 
well, at 92.1 if would bleed into KOMP 92.3 their website states 96.7 FM also, your best bet would be to stream online.

radio-locator.com states it reaches Mesquite and the tips of Moapa Valley. 95,000 Watts. don't know how reliable info is.
 
FM Broadcast frequencies are principly line of sight. It is unlikely a Cedar City station would make it over the mountains along the River at the UT/CO/NV border. All the power in the world won't help if there is no line of sight. The First adjacent 92.1 to our KoMP 92.3 requires FCC mandated spacing of 150 miles between two Class C, 100 KW stations. That means 150 miles between our KOMP transmitter on Mt. Potosi and the Cedar city location. Even the 3.5 KW booster in St. George is not going to get down this way. The booster is there, in theory, because they don't have that good a signal in St. George, so all the way to LV would be very unlikely. That's a long shot for anything except the occasional Ducting that might occur and that would result in a signal that "Might" be heard next to ours (as ours would be next to theirs) but it's not something either stations ownership is worried about.

In my never to be humble opinion, Mesquite would be a stretch for the main station in Cedar City, but possible IF the "Booster" were located near St. George in such a location as to favor Mesquite. Remember there are some pretty significant hills blocking signals between Mesquite and St. George along the river/NV/CO/UT border. I have listened to 92.3 KOMP in Mesquite often, and never heard any interference, but I didn't tune 92.1 so can't speak for any signal there, but the lack of interference would indicate not much signal is likely.
