FM Frequency of the Week: 102.5

M

MarioMania

In Carmichael

It's KSFM Sacramento

While I'm in Vallejo visting it's KSFM with a Good Signal

DX/Retro - In Pacifica I get a mixed Signal between KSFM & KDON from Salinas from time to time
 
In Cheyenne, I have

KTRR Loveland, CO (about 50 miles and 17 kw) with a decent signal throughout town although I find their low power to be a bit odd. A good classic hits station. I have yet to snag any tropo or E-skip on this frequency.
 
East Tennessee: Translator: W273DX (WRJZ-AM). Before that, it was a weak signal from WOWF, Crossville TN.
Retro/other: Dayton, Ohio area, WMDH, NewCastle IN or the former WHIZ, in Zanesville OH at the time.
WMDH covers Western Ohio and a large chunk of Indiana
 
According to Wiki* there is supposed to be "a commercial radio station now licensed to Salem, OR" but I have yet to DX it. 102.5 had been KIEV a couple different times, flipflopping between .5 and .7 where it finally landed (but for how much longer?). KIEV's signal is so poor at home that their sideband barely splatters onto .5!

The last time I was in Portland (2012), 102.5 was a weak signal from K273AJ Elwood (Molalla area), with KAWZ/CSN programming. KZOK did make it on the last day I was in Portland, on the 3rd floor of the Gresham Hampton Inn. Tropo conditions were up, as I even heard KISM 92.9.

Here in Ellensburg, 102.5 is usually nothing, but a new translator has popped on in Selah (K273DK, // KTCR-980) that I get occasionally driving on Vantage Hwy...when the car's antenna actually works the way I want it to. 102.5 Selah is a waste of a channel, as 106.9 serves that area just fine. Maybe Stephens Media will eventually flip 106.9 to another format, as it is relayed from one of KHHK's HD subchannels. Yakima needs an Adult Contemporary station - or classic country.
KZOK Seattle and KRAO Colfax have been heard via tropo or scatter.

Many E-skip loggings of course:
KKCI Goodland KS
KKCV Rozel KS
KNIX Phoenix AZ
KIOT Los Lunas NM
KSNI San Luis Obispo CA
KZII Lubbock TX
KGGN-FM Hemet CA
KTRR Loveland CO
K273DD Spencer IA // KICD-1240
KZSD-FM Martin SD
KMKF Manhattan KS
KDON Salinas CA
KSFM Woodland CA
KBLS North Fort Riley KS

As someone that’s worked for both KMKF and KBLS (with both targeting Manhattan), the former is on 101.5. Just had to throw that out there. ;)
 
I accidentally logged it as a 102.5 in my master log! Yes, I have heard KMKF 101.5, and KBLS.
 
From Pickerington, Ohio, local 15,000-watt WWLG with regional Mexican. Transmitter is roughly 10 miles to my south, to the west of Lancaster.
They used to transmit from a tower off Ohio 256, about six miles to my east. Not sure why they moved, but I think it happened in late 2020.
Used to be able to pick up that 102.5 when it was in Zanesville. The current incarnation of WHIZ on 92.7 is audible here, though weak.
 
One single station picked up here in the southwest suburbs of Chicago in the pre-IBOC days: WNWC Madison, Wis., a 50 kW outlet in stereo, on 7/3/1990. No shot at anything today with the WBMX 102.7 digital hash.
 
Northeast New Jersey: sidebands from WNEW or a pirate station occasionally through the hash

Tropo: Usually WBAZ Bridgehampton, NY and on more rare occasions WBOC Princess Anne, MD.
 
San Jose, California

I get two stations on 102.5 MHz.

15KW, KDON out of Salinas (been to the transmitter up on Fremont Peak, quite a site). Signal is just one notch above being weak for the area I live in.

50KW, KSFM out of Woodland can be heard on my best portables.
