Anyone noting another jesuscaster, this time on 91.5?

[crainbebo]

Right now in Monroe I am getting a 91.5 with Radio U (the same thing that is on 89.1 Issaquah and 106.5 Enumclaw). Do any of you know if maybe Enumclaw flipped frequencies? Or has KSQM been sold? Usually 91.5 is blank, blank, blank out here (occ. KOPB during Tropo but that's it).

Found it! It's another Everett area jesuscaster KQXI Granite Falls, WA. Sure glad it's full of multipath and messy here. I don't have to say adios to KOPB yet...

KQXI.....Wasn't there once a B/EZ, Smooth Jazz or Lite Adult Contemporary station somewhere with these call letters. I don't know. They just have that ring....

Seattle FM signals are hit or miss in Granite Falls proper and I kind of expected KQXI's signal to be too where they're at.....

Looking at the FCC data base it states it belongs to Sprint.
Google map shows 60db contour as a cell tower also states it's a directional antenna.
Notice that they did ask for and was granted,
Did you hear them today? Sure it was KQXI ?
Pretty fast as they just was granted on 3/01/2013, somewhere I read on there.
But this states it was only accepted for filing on this date.

Haven't heard it here yet that I know of; I've been recording 91.5 for possible meteor scatter. I don't hear it in NE Seattle at 10:35 PM. Minor signal noted before 2 PM; could hear it in fast-forward mode on the PC but not understand it normally. If that was KQXI it won't be a problem.
91.3's HD has been off the past couple of weeks. I'd love for that to be permanent!

Doesn't come in well, but it was KQXI due to the steady multipathed signal. The CSN jesuscaster on 89.1 does as well as this new one in Monroe. There's hills to the North...

Don't forget about that funky little station from Sequim that started up on 91.5 a couple of years ago. I can usually hear it most all of the way up I-5 from north of Everett to the Canadian border, and a bit further north. Port Townsend is also an ideal location for a transmitter site, if you want to reach both Seattle and Victoria and Vancouver BC. Or at least the territory in between.

Last time I listened KSQM was a sort of free form adult standards and oldies music most of the time, hosted by community volunteers. Their presentation could be a bit rough, but it sure it a welcome change from the usual stuff elsewhere on the dial.

Seems like every time I finally find a station that I can be a little fond of, which are usually coming out of the fringes of metro Seattle, something happens to cover up its signal with a repeat of another national satellite network or KPLU. I rarely dial around any more. Nothing much comes in at night on AM either that I can DX. Guess I'm starting to get like the majority of the public now and just don't look forward to turning on the radio to discover something new or unusual. So what's on TV tonight??
