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.


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.

On June 5,2001 Tropical storm Allison made landfall at Galveston,Texas
and the resulting heavy rains flooded parts of Houston,Texas.
www.devilfinder.com Houston Texas Flood If Rita moves up the
Houston Ship Channel,I think Houston is going to be flooded.I remember
seeing pictures on tv and on the internet of flooded
buildings,homes,shopping mall,etc in the Houston area.Lawrence Welk used
to run that Galveston song so much I thought I would never get that song
out of my mind,Galvestonnnn,oh Galvestonnn,same with the Goldfinger 007
theme music at the Post Cafeteria at Fort Hood,Texas in 1965.I got so
tired of hearing that Goldfingerrrrrrrr,,,,,,, theme music on the Post
Cafeteria sound system,I quit going to that cafeteria.

WBAP Fort Worth on 820 MHz sounds like a local all throughout the midwest at
night.

At 9 o'clock Thursday night, KTRH 740 in Houston is coming in loud and
clear on my house radios, the CCRadio and the GE SuperRadio III. The
signal's doing a nice job, due West here in San Antonio, about 200
miles.

Radio gets it's name from 'radiating'. When Marie Curie was experminting
with a new element uranium in the late 1800's, she coined the term
'radioactivity' because it radiated 'rays'.
