First, I hope you weren't really expecting those to have been unchanged for a decade and a half.
"U100.7"is a LPFM, so much less than full-market coverage. Now called "Más 100.7" and is "más música nueva que nadie, con éxitos de las últimas 3 decadas" ... in other words, Spanish-language oldies.
"Now 105.1 HD2" went away in 2016. It's now the LGBTQ+ format "Channel Q", which does EDM top-40 afternoons, late nights and weekends.

Thanks for the updates. Time flies! U100.7 really caught me by surprise back then I was listening to WMTX 100.7 out of Tampa driving towards Orlando the two stations were fighting back and forth for the same frequency, I almost thought it was DX or something until I looked it up. I've heard WOMX-HD2 was FlyMCO or Fly Orlando at some point before they switched to Channel Q because I remember I did receive it briefly during a band opening up here in Atlanta
Fly MCO was definitely on 105.1HD2 before Channel Q.
You can also check out the new Party FM 93.9/103.5, which plays some EDM, but it's mixed in with Latin Hits, Reggaeton, & Hip Hop. Their coverage area is spotty for me, but the reception is much better than WUOH-LP 100.7FM.
A few DJs on WPRK 91.5FM plays EDM, particularly on Mondays 7-9am, my show on Fridays 5-7pm, & Fridays 11pm-1am.
Pride Radio at 106.7HD2 also plays a little bit of EDM, just like Channel Q does, but they are a bit more Current & Mainstream Pop.

Pride Radio and Channel Q sure do lean towards the EDM side of top-40.
So far, I'm liking Party FM. What part of town are you in? Their 93.9 signal is solid in my area northern Osceola, but weaker than the full-market FMs. They are also on 1030AM, at 45kw they cover all of town, but the audio quality is bad, even by AM standards.
I live in the Clarcona area just north of Pine Hills & south of Apopka. According to Radio Locator, I am just outside of the purple line for 93.9FM, & in between the purple & red line for 103.5FM, which is the frequency that I can get a better static-y fringe Stereo signal on. Their coverage map is pretty accurate.

No. No, it isn't.
If you want accurate, go to FCCdata.org, which is run by our own @Michi and draws maps based on the license information at the FCC.
Too bad. Guess you can stream them if you'd like to.

That's good. That puts you just past the primary service contour, where the signal will still be easily receivable.
They don't make FM receivers like they used to anymore. If I had my dad's vintage Sanyo receiver from the 80s, I'd probably be able to find a sweet spot for any station within range. It's my 90s mini stereo & my car that can pick up both frequencies the best right now, but 103.5 is the only one that comes in stereo.
I have both an HD Radio Receiver & a portable one, but both of them doesn't receive stations better than the 90s mini stereos that I have.
Once again, I am in the spotty red-ish/purple-ish area of 93.9FM. It doesn't matter which map you share that you think is accurate. I am still just outside of the coverage areas.
That's great. What models are those vintage 1990s mini stereos? I think I may just have to look on ebay if any are available.

Nevertheless, the maps on your site are much more likely to be accurate than the ones at Radio-Locator.
I use my sister's old Sony RX100AV that she gave me for airchecking my radio show on WPRK 91.5FM in the living room. I also have an Auvio HD Radio right next to it. I use my Panasonic SA-DH66 that I had since the mid-90s for my bedroom as my alarm with the Play Timer feature. My dad has a Sanyo Plus Series 75, the best radio DXing in my experience, even with all the new LPFMs crowding up the frequencies.
