OK, I had to come to Shreveport for a lunch board meeting and I put my radio on 100.7. I began getting a decent signal between Minden and Haughton. By Haughton it was very clear. All the way out to East 70th near Youree I had a very good signal. So it is much better than thought it would be.

Try it at night. You will be able to hear it 1/2 mile from the station.

I'm really surprised that some people are upset with the radio coverage now, and no one cared when A 100,000 watt station was dropped for a 5000 watt station.

Yes, people cared then. For some reason you keep imagining they did not. That was well before the days of internet. You always pick the strangest places to intro into your "driving to the top of the mountain in N. Ark. to listen to Tech games on 107.5". Now would be the time you begin to defend Jerry Stovall's job as our AD.

I just couldn't stop myself, that was way too easy to pass on.

They drop the power on an FM station at night?

Yep, so the Mexican stations will come in clear.

Yep, nothing like some "Welcome to America, land of the free..... stuff" music to help you cross the border

Typically, no...it isn't common for the FCC to reduce power on FM stations at night. That's more of an AM thing. FM signals are more impacted by terrain, but occasionally, atmospheric conditions can enhance or reduce even FM signals.

That's what I thought. Some of our Bulldogs who live in and around Shreveport need to start paying attention to the signal of this station day and night and give us some reports. I know we'd like a station which booms Bulldog sports out into the Ark-La-Tex, but hopefully this is at least doing a decent job of covering the Shreveport-Bossier area.

Maybe we should approach "Soul XPRS" to broadcast our games since Wolfman Jack is now gone........

I'll report from beautiful downtown metropolitan, central business district Haughton. (city limits)

This morning at 5:00 AM I got a simultaneous conglomeration of three garbled stations, 2 music, 1 partial sentences of guys' voices. Somewhere between the race track and Bossier the sports talk dominated and became understandable. Loud and clear from Bossier to the Broadmoor Y on Youree. I'll check it a couple of times tonight.

Well, I lived off Hwy 80 near LaDowns and could not pick up up for most of the Bulldogs games, then moved to the North Side of Cross Lake in the Lakeview neighborhood and still could not pick up the station.... that is unless I got in the truck and even then it was not always a good signal!

I guess I live in a good location. Checked 100.7 last night and just a few minutes ago and it is coming in very well. I live east of Highway 171 and between 70th Street and the Innerloop. In fact, it's stronger than 101.1.

Fortunately, for football season, many of us will not have to listen to the games on radio. We will either be at the game or we can watch it on tv. Most Louisiana radio stations broadcast to more cows than people these days.

Pretty good reception in central Haughton City limits in my car. A little fading with an echo-like audio as if someone were speaking with a bucket over their heads. No reception on home radio. Fades in/out with other stations bleeding in until mile marker 30 where signal and audio become very clear and strong.
