I agree. But it would be interesting if I ever could pick 'em up.

I first heard ZNS on 1540 in Nassau in the late 60s.

I was amazed to pick up two stations on 101.1 the other night (going to Boca, as mentioned in the 107.1 thread). One in Orlando and one in Marco. I was listening to the latter when the ID or the former popped through.

I've never DXed FM before: didn't think I had the right equipment.

WAVV, The Wave on 101.1, has the strongest signal into Southeast FL of any of the Southwest FL FM stations. Of the C's and C1's, their transmission complex is the closest (farthest, furthest?) to the southeast, most southeasterly.
Showing my age: I like the station.

I liked it too. It reminded me of the old M-O-R WFTL.

DITTO on what ai4i posted, and also WJRR-101.1 broadcasts from a GIANT 1,600 foot stick in northeastern Orange County (just west of Titusville). On a typical day its signal reaches southward all the way to the I-95 / Turnpike junction in Ft. Pierce, but it frequently skips even further south towards the Palm Beaches. It also reaches northward into the southern outskirts of the Jacksonville area, and as far west as Tampa. Now that's a powerful signal !

THE MAJOR
 
I remember nights at I-95FM when we signed off for X-mitter work on Sunday nights. Once we turned the X-mitter, you'd get 94.9 out of Orlando like it was a local station playing in our air studio. Sunday nights were always my favorite night for flipping thru the FM & AM dial to see whom I could get I used to shut down the original 96X ( but with the exception of the final time, we always came back on...I guess that's where I got my practice for the big one! lol ) about 2am till 5:30am and sit in the studio, slowly going up the dial. Amazing what you picked up on skip. Alot of stations around the country sign off Sunday night. That's the choice time to do tower/X-mitter work, because it's (what I call the dead zone) the least listened to time by the public.
