FM Frequency of the Week - 101.5 MHz

[Buckeyes2001]

What do you all get on 101.5 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it's semi-local WRVF/Toledo, OH with an AC format as '101.5 the River' (as in the Maumee River)

In Knoxville it's WQUT, Johnson City.

In NW Indiana, I usually get WNSN South Bend, since there's no 1st adjacents in the Chicago market on 101.3 or 101.7. It's known to reach the near south suburbs of Chicago, & on occasion, be heard in the city of Chicago (mainly the south side & maybe downtown, if it can get past the second adjacents on 101.1 & 101.9).

In northern VA, it's semilocal WBQB Fredericksburg with a hot AC format; tropo conditions have brought me New Jersey 101.5 and WRAL Raleigh, NC.

Manistee, MI: Local WMTE Manistee. With said station on a STA, WJNR Iron Mountain can be heard within ten miles of town (and has been heard at times within Manistee city limits). I've also picked up WMJZ Gaylord, WNSN South Bend, IN, and WIBA Sauk City, WI

Allendale, MI: I-BLOC from 101.3 WBFX Grand Rapids and 101.7 WMRR Muskegon Heights. WNSN rarely comes in under the two sidebands

Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs), it's semi-local New Jersey 101.5(WKXW) from Trenton.

In Houston, 101.5 is pretty well blank. Only station near Houston is KSTB Crystal Beach, TX @ 6kW from a sand dune on the Bolivar Peninsula. Unfortunately, the station has been off the air since Hurricane Ike hit here in '08, only setting up a temporary antenna to run the station from Crystal Beach at a reduced power twice since the station was literally washed away. Interestingly enough, there is a movement by a local broadcasting company based in Galveston, partnering with G.I.S.D. to purchase the station from Cumulus and return it to the air for service to Galveston itself. Based on reports down here, if Galvcomm can't make this work, KSTB will be lost forever as Cumulus will turn in the license.

In Bellville, a weak to fair signal from Austin's KROX Buda, TX appears most days. 12.5kW at 782 ft, airing Alternative as "101X".

Marysville WA - Local KPLZ Seattle (Star 101.5)

Portland OR - KFLY Corvallis OR (Rock)

Yakima WA - KLES 101.7 splatter, but KPLZ barely makes it at times

The WNSN signal really carries! Having that tall tower (not to mention an even higher height above average terrain) really helps. They make it into Coldwater, MI no problem and even go well beyond that into the high terrain of Hillsdale Co. when traveling US-12. WRVF never really makes an appearance until you get on the other side of the hills in south and east Hilllsdale Co.

WNSN once stopped seek on US-31 around Shelby and I once heard them weakly in Manistee of all places (when WMTE-FM was off completely due to a power outage; that was the day WIBA and WMJZ came in in addition to WNSN and WJNR)

Years ago, I recorded the sign off of WSBT-FM on 101.5 in Southeast MI. It was 10000 watts from 950 feet then, on the WSBT-TV tower.

Here in Tampa, I can get WPOI, which is Pop station HOT 101.5.
