FM Frequency of the Week - 107.1 MHz

I never did get Sweet Home on 107.1, even when down by Lake Oswego. I only got K296FT and KRQT mixing with each other.

I actually received KRQT today in Auburn, WA. Local KRWM 106.9 was completely off (no IBOC or splatter) around 12PM today (1/1/12). Distance would be 78 mi from Auburn to Castle Rock. Also received Oldies 106.7 out of Portland (KLTH) with a local ad for Video Only mentioning a store in Jantzen Beach, one in Salem and one I think in Beaverton. Distance is close to 130 miles. On 106.9, not much, but did hear a rocker for a few seconds (likely CHWF Nanaimo BC via Aircraft Scatter) and a station with C&W very briefly (KMOK Lewiston, ID? If so that's REALLY pushing it for Aircraft Scatter)

This station is not local ( DX )

KHIT, a Spanish AC station serving the Fresno, Madera, Clovis market with 9900 watts. Transmitter is 120 miles from my location.
 
The Valley of the Jolly Green Giant (LeSueur, MN)

depends on where I am in town. At the house it usually is K296ER Mankato (translator of KJLY) but its in Spanish
If I head up the hill then I can get KTMY Coon Rapids (suburb of Minneapolis)
 
107.1 used to be my Whole House FM transmitter, with a really good signal. Then a semi-local translator came on....LOL! So now the Whole House is on 92.1.
 
Here in Wood Dale, Illinois WSPY Plano, IL would be the dominant station but any decent tropo would bring in WZVN Lowell, IN and/or WIRX St. Joseph, MI.

However now with all these LPFM's coming on all I get is a mix of Polish language programming from W296DA (transmitter in Crystal Lake, IL) or Punjabi language programming from W295CG (transmitter in Arlington Heights, IL). There is also WCXP-LP broadcasting from the North Side of Chicago, but I was not able to hear them yet in my location. I need to get on the roof and point my FM antenna in their direction.
 
Nothing has changed here in Yakima. 107.1 is still 200khz away from the mega-behemoth KFFM on 107.3. The only station I've heard within 25 miles of my location, was KRQT Castle Rock up in the Cascades a couple years ago - 'Rocket 107'.
 
Reynoldsburg, Ohio: Semi-local WJYD playing urban gospel on what, to say the least, has been a revolving door of formats for decades now. 6,000 watts from about 25 miles due south of me, just northeast of Circleville.
Fringe signal at best across the central and northern parts of metro Columbus, solid signal in southern areas.
Back in the early 90s, it was the southern half of a "Kiss FM" simulcast with 105.7 FM, which in those days transmitted from northwest of Columbus near Marysville. They later were another tandem under the "Arrow" format, as 107.1 played lighter 70s-era fare more aimed at women while 105.7 had the rock oldies from the mid-60s into the early 80s. 107.1 has also been hard rock ("The Big WAZU"), country and now gospel since that time.
 
Surprisingly clear frequency in East Tennessee, the only thing nearby are LPFMs.

Retro/other: Dayton, Ohio area was the Columbus area station (which sometimes would find it's way on K-Love translators in Springfield), WDOH Delphos or Kiss 107.1 near Cincinnati.

Lafayette IN area, usually Danville IN under various calls and formats and sometimes WPGU, Champaign IL
 
I remember WDOH's "Winning 107" days from visits to see my grandparents in St. Marys. Talking early 90s here. Country music most of the time but lots of sports, including the Browns (and Indians?) as well as CBS Radio's NFL games. One of the few stations in that region then that carried Cleveland teams.
IIRC, it was usually listenable to around the Bellefontaine ridge, after which most stations from Lima, Celina, etc. would die as you crossed over heading east toward Columbus.

need to make an adjustment. The translator is now in English full time (translator of KJLY)
 
I'll amend my east Tennessee report to include WTSH, Aragon, GA "Your Georgia Country 106.1 and 107.1". Caught it today at my higher elevation location in Knoxville, I've heard it before.
 
Chatham, IL (south end of this town, about 12 miles SW of downtown Springfield/IL State Capitol Complex):

WEAI Lynnville, IL/Jacksonville

However, there is a translator in the village of Southern View, IL (8 miles NW of me and 3 miles S of the Capitol) for a translator for WFMB-AM 1450 (ESPN Radio/Local Sports), at the AM station's tower and adjacent station building complex, on 107.1. But it is SEVERELY directional because of WEAI and cannot be heard in southwest Springfield or in Chatham (or basically no more than 2 miles south/SW of Southern View). But it tries to get at least much of Springfield (downtown, east and north sides especially) as possible.

https://radio-locator.com/info/W296CJ-FX?loc=39.75626,-89.65037&locn=Southern View, Illinois

There has been an app the last 2 years for the translator to move to full market, non-directional, coverage at 92.3--which would allow it to be heard clearly here but on car radios, if that happens (I hope it does) it's adios to the weak/fair WIL St. Louis signal here. Unless it tries to make occasional punches over the translator
