FM Frequency of the Week: 105.3

Status
Not open for further replies.
East Tennessee: WFIV, Loudon, TN, a far-west rimshot into Knoxville that has always struggled. Formerly AAA with Americana at night, more recently oldies and have recently brought back their old "West 105" name.

Retro/other: Western Ohio: WHYT, Mansfield, OH has an excellent signal that can reach a large part of the state (and did years ago as WCLW-FM). Otherwise, WKOA would make it over the state line.
 
Crystal Lake, IL. Splatter from WOJO Chicago (105.1). And even stronger splatter from local WZSR (105.5).
 
Hartland, VT:
"Cat Country" WJEN Killington. Why "JEN" instead of something cat-oriented? No idea. The call was previously on a station at 94.5, but I can find no info on the meaning of the call in either of its incarnations.

Meriden, CT:
W287DJ Middletown, translator for old-fashioned variety (talk and music) station WMRD 1150.
 
South Mississippi:
strong signal from "The Big 870" WWL Kenner, LA. When WWL was off the air once, I received KSLO Simmesport, LA "105.3 MeTV FM"

Where I am now in Melaka, Malaysia, 105.3 is Johor FM. This station broadcasts a local news and CHR format to the state of Johor. (Call signs aren't used in Malaysia)

Nice! Have a safe trip. And please feel free to report on whatever you hear in that part of the world!

This was the case for many years in Columbus until W287CP-FM signed on in 2016. It formerly was the translator for WYTS (1230) and now simulcasts 106.7-HD2. Carries most night and weekend Reds games as well as Bengals games, neither of which really fit with the hip-hop and R&B throwback format, but that's essentially how the local iHeart cluster treats sports nowadays.
 
Mankato, MN

Its a faint KIWA Sheldon, IA (I'm out of their fringe area) but its hard to hear as we have 100kw KRBI on 105.5 about 4 miles away so get some splatter from that.
 
South San Jose, California

15kW KHIT off San Bruno Mountain (South San Francisco)

Weak signal where I'm at, as it is 54.4 (dBuV/m), which is below the threshold of 60 (dBuV/m) for a decent signal. never was a good signal even when it was Live 105.
 
KONA Kennewick, WA. Local here in Pasco, strong semi-local in Moses Lake.
 
At the lake house (14 miles dead south of Aitkin, MN)

WLUP Cambridge (North Metro)
somewhat decent at night, faint during the day
