FM Frequency of the Week: 104.3

Wilmington Delaware

Usually just splatter from last weeks' station W281CM but 2 other stations can be heard occasionally -

WZFT Baltimore MD with Top 40 music. It comes in much better in SW New Castle County and NW Kent County.

LPFM W282AW Salisbury MD relaying WTDK Federalsburg MD with Oldies. It blows my mind I can pick up a 250W station over 100 miles away but I've heard it multiple times mainly in Summer on a warm humid night.
 
Tyler, TX:

Given local powerhouse KKUS next door at 104.1, 104.3 is a pretty tough frequency. When it's on, and the conditions are right, I can catch a faint signal from KHMR Lovelady (near Huntsville, 100+ miles north of Houston). Other than that, I've heard KLQB from Austin a time or two, neighboring country outlet KGAS-FM in Carthage will come in on occasion, and I've heard KIMP's translator in Mount Pleasant exactly once. Usually, a pretty dismal frequency here.
 
Wichita, Kansas: left IBOC sideband of local KFXJ 104.5 Augusta, KS "Classic Rock 104.5". Sometimes, I can pick up KVGB-FM 104.3 Great Bend, KS "B-104.3 The Point".

Denver, CO - local 104.3 KKFN, "Denver Sports 104.3 The Fan". Either this is about ventilation devices, or about sports talk.

Either way, sounds like it sucks.

It's a Bonneville owned ESPN Radio affiliate with no local team broadcast rights (Though AM child KEPN 1600 has the local rights to CSU Rams football however) so what else would you expect??

Beyond that, it could be worse. I remember the days when Mile High Sports Radio was affiliated with Yahoo! Sports Radio. If you wanted to talk guns & hunting, you could do so here (YSR's NEVER shied away from it)

Probably (If not likely) the reason why MHSR couldn't land a decent FM stick when it got booted off AM 1510 & had to settle for LPFMs, translators, HD subchannels & anything else they could get their hands on that wasn't a Part 15 set up
 
For KKFN Denver, I should have mentioned HD channels:
HD-2: Simulcasts 1600 KEPN, usually an ESPN feed, but occasionally is different
HD-3: ESPN feed full-time, sometimes simulcasting HD-2
 
Central Kansas:
Fair signal from KVGB-FM/Great Bend. KBEQ/KC will also come in on certain days.

North Iowa:
A moderate to weak KFNL/Spring Valley.
 
From Pickerington, Ohio, it's WNNP, half of the classic hits "Rewind 103.5/104.3" simulcast. 103.5 broadcasts from about six miles to my northeast, right along Interstate 70 around mile marker 116.
104.3 is about roughly 45 miles northwest of me, off Ohio state route 4 north of Marysville. No reception issues despite the distance.
These two have been in a simulcast for all but one year since 1999, dating back to their smooth jazz days.
 
I also hate to see this go. Wrong decision, IMO, especially with translators coming and going and AMs leaving the air. Hopefully the powers that be will reconsider given a little more time to reflect.

Sadly, it comes to an end for me with a whimper. Nothing, absolutely nothing, on this frequency either here in Vermont or in my former Connecticut location.
