Should I be able to hear K227BH 93.3 FM south of Pleasanton, TX?

[Guillermo Trejo]

Because while driving back today on I-37 from Three Rivers I was able to pick it up about 10 miles south of Pleasanton. It was coming in pretty decent also. Just a tad bit of static every now and then but for the most part it was really clear. It was rebroadcasting 98.9 FM. It was spanish christian preaching. I didn't think translators had that much distance. Is there a chance that maybe they have another 93.3 repeater transmitter in Pleasanton or are they just using a very high power transmitter from San Antonio?

They have a huge network of stations in lots of towns. Not all of them are on 93.3.

No this was on 93.3 FM. I picked it up south of Pleasanton and listened all the way into San Antonio. I found it very strange that a translator could have a signal that far away.

The warmer weather may be causing tropo conditions to pick up, extending the station's range...just a thought.

IIRC-- There's a 6kw FM on 93.3 up I-35 from Laredo licensed to a Spanish religious operator.

You sure it's on 93.3 ? I didn't see it on RL:

The station is KBAW, licensed to La Nueva Cadena Radio Luz Incorporated, and it didn't appear on the search because Radio-Locator shows it as "currently off the air." They have a CP to move from Zapata to Ranchitos Las Lomas, taking a downgrade from 25 down to 6kW but getting them into Laredo (sort of). Here's their old and new estimated coverage:

Oh yeah that's right. That's Israel Tellez' station. It's on 93.5 not 93.3 and yeah it couldn't have been that station because it's definitely off the air on 93.5 and last I heard he was trying to get a tower put up in Ranchitos Las Lomas to get it back on the air on 93.3
