should be listenable to much of the Midwest depending on conditions.


KTRH has gotta beam towards the west and south because KRMG Tulsa operates
25000 watts at night on 740 MHz towards the east and north.


Here in the Chicago area, 740 is dominated by CHWO at night.

Transmitter in Dayton, TX.

Look at the antenna pattern on the link.

It has a little lobe going straight for your house. I wasn't kidding.

Chill.

I'm not that far from you and I can pick out KTRH using a Terk loop with a
Boston Recepter on the night stand.
It isn't usually armchair copy but when conditions are very good it is
easily readable. Besides KTRH & WBAP
I don't know of any other MW stations in Tejas that are in hurricane Rita's
strike zone and can make it out of the Southwest.

I am listening to KTRH Houston right now on my Panasonic model RF-708
AM/FM radio,in fact,any of my radios that work at all and have the AM
band can pick up KTRH. Quite a bit of long distance background noise
though.A guy by the name of Chris at KTRH said they will be simulcasting
with their sister FM station.

WBAP 820 Fort Worth is coming in pretty good,KRLD 1080 Dallas comes in
pretty good too,but they do have that long distance back ground noise.

But y'all know how it is,you have to have that node pointing straight at
you or else you won't be able to hear anything at all.Radius = Radio,,
Radiating.Radio gets it's name from,Radius.
