FM Frequency of the Week - 103.3 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 103.3 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is WCRF/Cleveland with a CCM format, owned by the Moody Bible Institute. When tropo is up from the west, WKFR/Battle Creek, MI will cause interference.
 
A great open channel here in Marysville. K277AE (repeating KHTP 103.7, Hot 103.7) Downtown Seattle and KKCW Beaverton, OR are the two that mainly mix here.
Also have heard KWLN Wilson Creek, WA during tropo and aircraft scatter.

Surprisingly with the open channel I only have one E-skip log: KDRF Albuquerque, NM on 7/20/11. So many stations to try for in 1X hop range but usually I'm down below (in the lower part of the dial, i.e. 89.9, 93.7) or the MUF never reaches this high.

Depending on the area of town, Houston has semi-local KJOJ Freeport, TX 100 kW at 1947 feet coming from the southwest. Regional Mexican simulcast of KTJM Port Arthur known as "La Raza". When the weather is right, KBIU Lake Charles, LA is receivable from the east. Airing soft rock at 35 kW at 476 feet.

In Bellville, I have logged both of the aforementioned, as well as public radioKWBU Waco at 2.75 kW.
 
Here in Warminster PA(Philadelphia area), it's semi-local WPRB from Princeton NJ. When WPRB is off, I usually get WARM-FM from Central PA or splatter from 103.5 WKTU from NYC.
 
Where I am west of Toronto it's WEDG "103.3 The Edge" from Buffalo, NY. Sometimes, particularly on some of my more mediocre radio receivers, it's a bunch of splatter from local CIDC "Z 103.5". Overall, the station is better closer to the shore of Lake Ontario.
 
From Coldwater, MI

Local 50kw WKFR Battle Creek, MI. They are a Top 40 station on paper, but probably the only Top 40 in the country that still plays Wham and UB40 outside of specialty programming.

When tropo is up, WRZX Indianapolis, IN, WCRF Cleveland, OH and WMLX Saint Marys, OH can be heard.

WKFR doesn't go off the air very often. I hope to catch them down someday. I have a few stations I'd like to try for on 103.3.
 
Allendale, MI: WKFR (and they mess up 103.5 at times)
Manistee, MI: A mix of WFXD Marquette, MI and WGLX Wisconsin Rapids, WI, with WKFR making it in once in a while
 
Kenosha, WI- Empty frequency. The slightest hint of tropo will bring WKFR Battle Creek, MI over the lake.

Have also occasionally heard WGLX here.
 
In Durham, NC 103.3 is usually regional country outlet 100 kw WAKG, Danville, VA, though frequent tropo or simply driving east towards Raleigh brings in interference from another 100kw station, AC WMGV, Newport (New Bern-Greenville-Jacksonville), NC "v 103.3".
 
Northern VA,

IBOC from DC's WTOP 103.5. Before the stations started using HD, I once heard WMGV near Jacksonville, NC via tropo. The tropo ususally bring me WESR Onley, VA on the Atlantic coast. Other tropos heard in the past were WARM Lancaster, PA and WPRB Princeton, NJ.
