FM Frequency of the Week: 101.7

Status
Not open for further replies.
East Tennessee: WJSQ, Athens TN still with a decent-in-the-car signal around the Knoxville area.
Retro/other: Dayton, Ohio area used to be WKSW, Urbana, Ohio (move-in for Springfield). It was tower-danced into Enon and moved to 101.5. I don't remember getting anything else on 101.7 after that.
 
Mankato, MN

K269EC which is a translator of KMKO 95.7 Lake Crystal (which is 20 miles down the road but only 6000 watts). Its tower is in downtown Mankato to help with the terrain downtown
 
From Pickerington, Ohio, it's semi-local WNKO. Technically licensed to New Albany, a suburb of Columbus, it's still for all practical purposes a Newark and Licking County station. It transmits from outside Johnstown with 22,000 watts, a move made possible about a decade ago when the aforementioned WKSW moved to 101.5.
Before that, WNKO broadcasted with a directional 3,000 watts from between Newark and Hebron. The null was very obvious by the time you hit New Albany to the west, and while it didn't affect coverage in Pickerington all that much 101.7 is dramatically stronger here now. Urbana owned the frequency in the west and northwest suburbs of Columbus.
 
Central Kansas:
Fairly strong signal from KJDM/Lindsborg. Travel a few miles to the east and null your antenna a bit, you can receive KVOE-FM/Emporia.

North Iowa:
Occasional fair to weak reception from either KAYL-FM/Storm Lake or KRCH-FM/Rochester.
 
Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs):

Usually splatter from semi-local WKXW 101.5 from Trenton NJ.
WDEL-FM from Wilmington DE, another semi-local, was once picked up here.
 
Kinda blank here. Local WAVT on 101.9 has their stick atop Shenandoah Heights, about 4 miles north of me, like a giant can of Raid guarding 101.7 from 560 feet above average terrain.
'T-102' is a good station, though -- a mix of Hot AC and CHR. They'd own the book by 20 points if any survey company took ratings for Schuylkill County.
 
From Wichita, KIHB-LP. Prior to their sign-on in 2017, it wasn't uncommon to hear KJDM Lindsborg/Salina, KREJ Medicine Lodge or KVOE/Emporia via tropo.

Southeast Kansas is mostly KHST Lamar/Pittsburg/Joplin.
 
Hartland, VT:
W269DI Claremont, NH, translator of country WXXK Lebanon, NH

Meriden, CT:
W269DE New Britain, translator of "Spanish pop" (Radio-Locator's description) or "Spanish tropical" (Wikipedia's description) WLAT New Britain.
 
Tri Cities WA:
Normally KZXR Prosser but it's off the air right now.

Moses Lake WA:
K269HC Wenatchee (//KPQ-AM) and KZXR Prosser.
 
South Mississippi:

HD sideband of WLMG New Orleans blocks signals usually, I rarely hear
WYOY Gluckstadt, MS "Y101, Jackson's Hit Music"
KYDA Azle, TX - Air1
KLTD Temple, TX "Juan 101.7" (Spanish adult hits)
 
Update from Hartland, VT:

W269DI Claremont, NH, is no longer simulcasting country WXXK. At some point in the past few weeks, it switched to carrying WTSL Hanover, NH, which itself has flipped from hip-hop (Hot 97.5) to "97.5 The Penguin, the Upper Valley's chill music," a bright, female-friendly mixture of AC tracks from the '80s through today, from Madonna through Avril Lavigne through Katy Perry though Harry Styles. Neither of these changes have caught the attention of Radio-Locator or Wikipedia contributors yet.
