It was working the other direction as well - 103.5 was coming in like a local around Houston. It is actually located in San Marcos.
That's right I got 103.5 yesterday morning here in Kingwood.
Do you guys look at the tropo forecast maps? Here's a link to a great site showing troposphere ducting forecasts. http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html
103.5 & 99.5 were frequent visitors when I lived out in Katy, especially late at night. 105.3 KSMG & 97.3 KAJA were there too, but less often.
Yep, it is a 1200ft tower just west of I35 near Buda.....when they were building the stick, I drove by and the gate was unlocked and opened....and the lock was set to the UNLOCK code..wrote it down but it probably got changed later
CC owned it at one time iirc....when the Conroe/Huntsville 103.5 came on the air (KVST), the 103.5 Austin KILLED it in Conroe the 1st morning due to tropo....and the KVST site was somewhat in a valley with its tower closer to Huntsville...then it got changed to 103.7 and moved closer...to a tower near Willis....where 99.7 KVST is now...and of course 103.7 was sold to Cumulus for $32.5 million...that was before they have to build a 2000 ft tower site, etc..(another 5 mil or so)...and how much did Air 1 pay for the 103.7 station? $5 million total....real good ROI Cumeless....- Status
