"What do you get on 102.1 FM?"
KINK's (101.9) sideband, for the most part. KINK is a decently-powerful station (almost 100,000 watts) so it is enough to jam out pretty much anything from outside the market that may be trying to hitch a ride in its sidebands. Their transmitter is in Portland's West Hills, which due to its line of sight, might just well be in our backyard.
(KINK isn't transmitting an Ibiquity DAB signal, last I checked.)
However, every so often if I have my antenna rotated in the right direction I can hear a Calvary Chapel translator coming from somewhere (I honestly have no clue where, as CSN doesn't seem to give a local station/translator call like the bigger stations do) but that's a rare occurence. I can only hear it on the stereo because I have it wired into my outdoor antenna on the balcony......I have never gotten it on the Grundig or the Sony.

Well, in my area, Charleston, SC, I can pick up one of two stations on 102.1. I can pick up WZAT from Savannah (a Hot AC station), usually weak, but most nights it becomes strong. If I turn the antenna a bit, I can often get WMXT from Pamplico, in the Florence area (a Classic Rock station), and they come in often.
from Nashville on 102.1 it;s
a - W271AB...200 watt translator of 102.5 WPRT
b - WLCT Lafayette, TN

Most of the time here in central Miss I get KBUD, licensed to Sardis, MS with a religious format.
Now, as you folks may know Mississippi the state is EAST of Mississippi the river... But this station has a K-call. And it's not a move-in from elsewhere, either. Apparently the FCC goofed and gave a K-call to a station 45 miles east of the river!
I've also heard KOKY from Little Rock (160 mi, urban) and WRQO from Montecello, MS (152 mi, talk). May have gotten WDRM from Decatur, AL (195 mi, country) but never got a positive ID.

In my area(Bucks County, PA), it's WIOQ in Philly, a/k/a Q-102, the CHR/dance station which has
Elvis Duran in the mornings.

Here in Boston, 102.1 would be a weak signal from WSAK Hampton, NH which rebroadcasts WSHK 105.3 Kittery, ME ("The Shark", Classic Rock). It begins to come in fairly well just a little ways up the North Shore from Boston.
However, 102.1 in the Boston area is one of many frequencies that has been usurped by a pirate station from the inner city (Caribbean music).
Years ago, before WSAK (or the pirates) came on the air, a very weak WAQY Springfield could sometimes be heard in the Boston area, especially on west-facing hills in the suburbs.
