Rocklin, CA

KKCY Country 103.1 Yuba Sutter Area/Marysville with a fringe signal

Vallejo, CA

Splatter from KBLX 102.9 San Fracisco
 
Hartland, VT:

WZKC Royalton, K-Love programming from EMF, which bought this station from the owners of AAA WNCS (The Point) Montpelier a couple of years ago.

Meriden, CT:

Splatter from WDRC-FM 102.9 Hartford.
 
Wilmington Delaware

Same as RyanHoward - splatter from 102.9 WMGK Philadelphia. The closest station on 103.1 is WRNR near the Bay Bridge in Maryland but is too far away to hear regularly. It appears occasionally on warm humid evenings.
 
Northern England: nothing on this frequency, but it has been allocated twice in the city of Sheffield, where it is somewhat cursed.

The first station to occupy it, a small LPFM community radio station, closed down for financial reasons. The frequency was then reissued to a Muslim religious service, IMAN FM, which became the first station in the UK ever to have its license pulled - in 2017 it was found to have been broadcasting al-Qaeda lectures in the morning show. It was suspended for a period for investigations, and then banned completely.

The frequency has never been reallocated since!
 
Depending on which way you rotate your antenna, at my location 103.1 is either WGFB, Rockton, IL (ex WRWC) or WPNA Highland Park, IL (ex WVVX and others).
 
Here in Pickerington, Ohio, it's rimshot WVKO "La Mega" with regional Mexican/Spanish language AC programming. With only 1,600 watts from about 30 miles north (transmitter is north of Johnstown in northwest Licking County), there are several spots on this side of town where the signal drops out completely.
It certainly is not located in an ideal spot to serve most of the Hispanic population in central Ohio.
 
KYKV Selah / Yakima (K-LOVE), transmitter on the ridge above Terrace Heights. 5.4KW

Same story in Ellensburg, where it's pretty strong, but a little multipathed.
 
Central Kansas:
A weak KEKS/Olpe.

North Iowa:
Very weak to practically no reception from KHAM/Britt, despite their transmitter being about 20ish miles from my location. (They have a CP to upgrade power and change tx locations, but it hasn’t been approved/moved yet.)
 
At the lake house (14 miles dead south of Aitkin, MN)

K276GQ Aitkin
Fm translator of KKIN AM 930 "The Gobbler" (Aitkin's high school is the Gobblers)
