Orange County, TX-KQBU Port Arthur, TX from their tower in Devers, TX all the time as a Houston move in.
 
Happy Easter everyone.

In Cheyenne, 93.3 is a weird sort of fun. Two stations, KMOR Scottsbluff (Classic Rock, 80 miles) and KTCL Denver (Alternative, 105 miles) constantly battle it out for position when I'm driving around. Meanwhile, at home, KTCL wins out most of the time, however a good wave of Nebraska tropo will wipe it out. In my case, I think the two stations are just strong enough that when one does get a bit weaker, the other one takes over with no minimal static/waiting. Although neither station really qualifies as local strength, they are still very listenable.

Before I moved to Cheyenne, there was some sort of translator on 93.3 in the area, apparently for K-Love or 1240 KFBC.
 
Central Washington:
93.3 is dominated by KRKL College Place/Walla Walla. Nothing else. I did once log KKNU Springfield, OR during a rare tropo episode back in 2019.

Via E-skip: I've logged 10 stations total on 93.3, farthest one being KJKE Newcastle/Oklahoma City, OK at 2,241 km (1,392 mi) on 16 June 2020.
 
East Tennessee: A translator east and west of us, with
W227DH (WMTN-AM) Morristown and
W227EB (WXRH-AM) Rockwood. Before the Morristown translator hit the air, it was WTPT, Forest City, NC. Retro/other/ Western Ohio: A cross between WAWK (later WBTU, where I have been heard) and WAKW. Cincinnati.
 
In Columbus, Ohio, all local classic hits WODC from about eight miles to my west. Effective 32,000 watts that put it among the best FM signals in the market from the WTVN tower farm down off I-270 on the south side of the city.
Official COL is Ashville.

That of course being a move-in from Chillicothe
 
It used to be that the closest 93.3 FMs to Michigan were in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin, until Docket 80-90 and subsequent modifications were made. WAWK Kendallville was a perennial, and one of the first FM DX logs I ever made in Genesee County. Now we have a C2, WKQZ in Midland, MI, just barely far enough away from now co owned WDRQ, at 105 miles, at least under Section 73.207. The tower is close to 20 miles from the far corner of Midland, but the flat terrain gives it a very good signal, rivaling 100 kW C1s of similar HAAT in hillier terrain.
 
Northeast New Jersey: Normal conditions HD hash from WPAT Paterson, NJ

Tropo: WMMR Philadelphia, PA frequently in the Summer months and WSNE Taunton, MA once or twice in the summer.
 
[Palmdale, CA]

93.3 here is KHTS from San Diego, CA.

Another example of terrain reflection from down south that somehow ends up here in the high desert. Pretty nice signal most of the time, sounds like a semi-local.
 
Nothing on 93.3 where I am now but it was an interesting frequency when I lived in New Jersey and then Florida.

Over the years, there was a time when I heard WFLZ Tampa during E skip on the way to the Jersey shore overtaking the local WMMR only 40 or so miles away from Philadelphia.

Then in Florida, I once heard WMMR take over WFLZ during E skip when I was near Orlando.

This is what you may have heard on WAWK, their evening "Patterns in Stereo" beautiful music programming. From the Bob Hawkins collection. http://46124.info/FM/Indiana/IN Kendalville 93.3 1979 WAWK.mp3. Station has been WBTU since 1983
 
In my hometown of Mint Hill NC, I can pick up the fringe reception of (Active Rock) 93.3 The Planet out of Forest City, NC on 93.3. One of the few out of market stations that I can still pick-up.
