FM Frequency of the Week - 100.3 MHz

[ftballfan]

I caught a new station on 100.3 via tropo earlier in the week from here in Vermilion, OH I heard WQON/Grayling, MI with classic rock. They said something like "Saving classic rock, one person at a time" when I heard it. Did this station used to be a country station? Seems that I remember getting a country station on 100.3 from that area a few years ago.

It used to be country. It's C1, but basically a glorified C2 (60kW @ 131m HAAT).
Allendale, MI: WQON, WNCY Neenah-Menasha, WI, WILV Chicago, WNIC Dearborn, MI
Manistee, MI: WQON, WNCY, WUPT Gwinn, MI
For years, WQON (as WGRY) and WNCY were both country as Y-100, so it was really hard to tell which station was which.

If you're driving from NYC to Philly where does WBEB overtake WCBS-FM?

From my experience, usually around Freehold, NJ on the NJTP.

If that's the case it looks like WBEB has an edge in coverage area. I wonder what it's like when there's tropo? Each one must mess up the other one in it's primary coverage area from time to time.

Here in Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs), local WRNB(Old School 100.3)

In Knoxville it's powerhouse WCYQ, formerly WNOX and WOKI. I have caught them off briefly and logged WVVR, Beaver 100.3, Hopkinsville KY

In Houston, it used to be the legendary local KILT-FM, "100.3 KILT". These days, it's unfortunately and literally full of "Bull".

I was able to get WBEB in Fairfield, NJ during an opening last Monday morning! 17 miles from CBS! But the Watchung Mountains weaken the NYC locals in that area. Also, a lot of Philly signals come in, regularly in that area.
