Ah...one of those commercial FM things they sell on eBay or amazon.com. Why they picked 101.3 as their frequency, that was stupid....unless they did it on purpose to promote their business, knowing that there are people trying to listen to 101.5 in Seattle or 101.1 in Vancouver.

Down around that way, I had an easier time picking up 101.1 out of Portland than Vancouver. But yeah, with KPLZ on 101.5, 101.3 IS a wee bit close....

There's a pirate up in Bellingham that uses 106.9. Not really a good frequency. KRWM really doesn't come in most areas and CHWF also blasts in others occasionally. But it's also too close to 106.5. I use 94.9 for my Part 15 because KUOW has a repeater (KQOW 90.3) and the main signal here is garbage.
