New station south of San Antonio

A modification was filed to lower height to 57.1 meters and change power to 23 KW from a nondirectional antenna, and 96.9 is on at low power right now. I assume it's to not cause problems for the LPFMs on the Northside of SA. Presumably the station will return when the FCC allows it.
 
KWYU 96.9 is still on at low power last I was able to hear it. It could be off now because that was a couple months back.

They filed another modification to lower to 51 meters with 25 KW. So they're still working on it.


Actually I noticed the signal got a lot weaker shortly after my first post on this forum. I guess either they're reading these forums and lowered power after seeing my first post, or someone who's not their friend saw my post and attacked the station. The power was lowered in the middle of the night AFAIK.
 
I can hear it again. I'm not sure if it's up to full power or not, but the volume on their transmitter's way too loud. The signal keeps going to staticy hell when the vocals and bass hit, unlike other stations. They just need to turn volume down a bit.

Their licence to Cover is submitted after my last post, it's just about completely covered up in my location by KPPC-LP, and that's probably why I cannot hear it very well. I was just however able to catch programming so overdriven and distorted I couldn't make it out. I checked No Bull Radio's stream, and matched the voice I heard with the one on 96.9 FM KWYU. What are they trying to do with the volume levels overdriven like that, interfere with all other stations or turn away listeners? Or do they just have a crappy engineer?
