Why does this station say they're from San Antonio?

The station has a construction permit to change from a Class A to a C3. My guess is that they plan to apply to modify the CP by changing their community of license to a suburb of San Antonio. They just haven't done so yet and their timetable is wishful thinking.
 
Much like KLMO, it will not be a San Antonio station. It will be operating at even lower power with less height than KLMO. It's probably hoping to get a few San Antonio advertisers because you'll make a lot more money as a terribly rated San Antonio station than you will the most listened to station in Batesville. Of course, as David mentions, KLMO doesn’t even register in San Antonio. KQSA will have an even tougher time.

The power increase is from 5500 watts to about 13000 watts. That will increase coverage by only 30% as it takes the four times the power to double the coverage area.

There is no CP to move the transmitter, and I think it is locked into its current location. I can't find an application, either.

The higher power sounds like wishful thinking... "oh, it is almost three times the power so we will triple the coverage."
 
Perhaps, KQSA has plans for a translator to be added somehow.
 
While that wouldn't be impossible, a translator in San Antonio for KQSA would have to be separately owned and would have to be able to get the signal off the air in order to repeat it. That doesn't seem likely, and, if I were them, I'd be trying to find a translator for KLMO before I tried to find one for any of my other signals.

They are a commercial station, and as mentioned by Kent, they can't go on an out-of-60dbu-signal coverage area translator. Only non-commercial stations can extend coverage that way.
 
You know what? Carlos Lopez also owns 93.3 and 105.7, both as far as I know are leased to iHeart and run based off iHeart's HD signals...
Maybe KQSA or KLMO's programming can take the place of what iHeart's playing, using iHeart's existing HD signals?

Yes, but they would have to lease the iHeart HD channels from them and then leasee the translators from Carlos López. That is a lot of money for a very dead format that has little or no sales potential.

At that point, they do not need the stations out in the wilderness at all. They are both nearly worthless, anyway.
 
LOL KLMO and KQSA are both owned by Carlos Lopez and his family as far as I know, so they could use some of their existing assets if they wanted to.

Other than owning two nearly worthless radio stations, what other funding source does that person have?
 
 
 
LOL someone told me a few years ago that K227BH is Carlos's. But it's owned by Mary H. Lopez, hence the guessing on names. But it's really none of my business.
