FM Frequency of the Week - 102.3 MHz

What do you all get on 102.3 FM? In Vermilion, OH it is a weak WFXN/Galion, OH amongst some IBOC hash from local WDOK 102.1. Sometimes I will hear WPOS from Toledo, OH with a religious format come through.
 
Bellevue, WA/Bothell, WA: IBOC from KZOK 102.5. IIRC nothing has been caught here. In Marysville, WA you can get a sometimes very clear CKWV Nanaimo, BC.

Yakima, WA: Very weak KYYT Goldendale, WA (Y-102, C&W)

Pacific Beach, WA: KCRX Astoria, OR big signal even with KSWW one channel down

Portland, OR: K272EL Portland, OR (KEX)

For almost the past year, 102.3 MHz in Durham, North Carolina, has been a usally weak but consistent WWPL, Smithfield, NC (the class A originally licensed to Goldsboro as WOKN, WEQR, WKIX, and, finally, WWNF before moving west towards Raleigh to become the eastern half of "Pulse 102" last November). Otherwise, it's WFVL, Lumberton, NC, or WPTM, Roanoke Rapids, NC. Other catches (as always, calls current as of receipt):

WRMJ, Aledo, IL
KKQQ, Volga, SD
KRCQ, Detroit Lakes, MN
KKCM, Sand Springs, OK
KWFS, Wichita Falls, TX
KRNY, Kearney, NE
WTHN, Sault Saint Marie, MI
W272BN, Sanford, NC (TX for WTJY, Asheboro)
WGSP-FM, Pageland, SC
 
Semi-local WVOR 102.3 Canandaigua NY dominates here in Rochester, 25 miles or so away. If there's any propagation over Lake Ontario at all, I can usually null WVOR and hear CKJJ from Belleville, Ontario.
 
Schenectady, NY: WKKF-FM (Kiss FM 102.3, adult-leaning CHR) dominates the frequency (within 5 miles of the tower, give or take, so I get interference on WJIV or WEQX due to IBOC because I'm too close)
 
In Bellingham, WA. It's our lovable KMRE-LP. It's a radio station dedicated to old time radio, owned and operated by my friends at The American Museum Of Radio And Electricity here in Bellingham.

CKWV nips away at KMRE's fringe signals on the Bellingham hills......
 
From Coldwater, MI-

Mostly WGBJ, a spanish station serving Fort Wayne from Auburn, IN. Once you get north of town, IBOC hash from WMUK takes the signal over.

WSMM- New Carlisle, IN
WPOS- Holland, OH
WYBR- Big Rapids, MI
WXLC- Waukegan, IL
WYCA- Crete, IL
WLHM- Logansport, IN
WFXN- Galion, OH
WKLN- Wilmington, OH
WTHN- Sault Saint Marie, MI
WGRT- Port Huron, MI
W272CA- Detroit, MI
KRNY- Kearney, NE (my longest tropo catch until I bested it with 104.5 from Cozad, NE)
KWFS- Wichita Falls, TX (e-skip!)
 
There are 2 102.3's in the Chicago market, & you get one of them, depending on where you're at. For me in Gary, IN, I usually get WYCA Crete, IL, & I'm in their Grade B coverage area. They're heard in most of the near & far south suburbs (barely heard on the south side of Chicago) So I sometimes will get WXLC Waukegan, IL, which is mainly heard in the far northern suburbs & around Kenosha County, WI. If I get near Porter County, IN (especially near Portage), then I will get W272BZ Portage, IN, which is a translator to WFRN Elkhart, IN (South Bend, IN market).
 
Dayton, Ohio, area, WKLN, the K-Love station in Wilmington with not that great of a signal. I have heard WGBJ from Auburn IN and WFXN from Galion OH (part of the Fox Rock Network trimulcast).
 
Too close to the big sticks in Parma to get even a hint of 102.3/Galion, though its simulcaster in Loudonville (WXXF/107.7) makes it up here with a weak signal in parts of the Akron/Canton area...until you get too close to WENZ/107.9 in the far eastern Cleveland suburbs.

Of course, splatter/hash from WDOK/102.1 is dominant.
 
Here in High Bridge NJ WSUS Franklin NJ is the top station but their signal is not that strong. The station that rebroadcasts WAYV down near Cape May is a trop regular, as is WBAB in Babylon out on Long Island. What doesn't come in even during trop is Carlisle PA, very rare!
