Florida DX in Wisconsin

[MarquisP4]

I heard several Florida stations while in Car in West Allis/Milwaukee today....


92.9 WIKX?
a rap station on 94.1
a pop station on 94.9
96.1 K-ROCK
Talk on 98.7 fighting with WMDC
WAVV 101.1
and a UNID christian station on 1710 AM

92.9 WIKX is in the Fort Myers, Florida area, I believe.
96.1 K-Rock is WRXK in Fort Myers

a rap station on 94.1
a pop station on 94.9

That sounds like two stations here in Tampa.

What time was this happening?

I enjoy reading the Es logs but the whole FM DX thing is foreign and new to me, but I thought I'd give it a go today. On the way home from work today (around 5pm local time), I tried tuning to an empty spot on the dial and landed on 93.3 After a little time on the road I had two stations rushing in and out. The stronger of the two turned out to be WKQZ "Z93" on the opposite side of the state. The other station had a couple mentions of Tallahassee, but not enough to determine program content. Google shows a WGWD on 93.3 in Tallahassee, but I really can't confirm this is what I heard. After seeing this thread (I'm just across the lake from Milwaukee), my interest is raised! This would be a big thrill if I heard FL! Later in my commute, while still tuned to 93.3, a third station was breaking in "US Country 93" or similar slogan. This could be fun

About 3:05 pm in Fontana, WI (less than 40 mile SW of Marquis) I heard WFLA's FM translator Overriding WLWK. I also heard WFLZ (93.3) & WPOI (101.5)

Wow, that is impressive.

92.9 is WIKX ..Punta Gorda (just north of Ft Myers)
96.1 is WRKX.. Bonita Springs (just south of Ft Myers)
101.1 is WAVV..Naples (south of Ft Myers)
All those stations are 100,000 watt blow torches serving the SW Florida Gulf Coast.

94.9 is most likely WWRM out of the Tampa area.
94.1 is most likely WLLD out of Lakeland
Not sure on the 98.7. There is a 98.7 in the Tampa area but it is not talk but Hot AC.

As to the 98.7....what kind of talk was it? There *is* a "talk" station in FL, per se, but it would be one heck of a catch.....Everglades Radio Network, which uses both 98.7 & 107.9 at about 100 watts each.

If the talk was educational in nature, with a "woodsy" motif/background, that's what you might have heard!

Google "everglades radio network" (including quotation marks) to find its live stream. It's a loop, so maybe it's a match!

And....the 1710 is not in FL
