Site Locations
After looking at site neighbors and listening to control channels, I have found some changes to the original site setup.
The state must be moving some things around to optimize coverage and make better use of resources (hardware).
As far as I can tell, there are no sites in the N.O. simulcast system (201) in New Orleans east at all, as was planned. No Cox, no Irish Bayou. Instead, there is definitely a site in the simulcast network on the Channel 6 tower just off Paris Rd in Chalmette.
Since JPSO added a site in Reggio, and the state had erected one there as well (118), it seems that the state decided to leave it as a Zone 2 site. There is no zone 1 broadcasting from there any longer. I have to assume the same for St. Rosalie as well, but I still need to drive there to confirm.
I am sure there are more changes, which I will report whenever I get time to drive south.
Also, there are about 10 more sites that are being added now or are planned to fill in areas of Region 2.
