FM Frequency of the Week - 103.7 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 103.7 FM?
Here in Vermilion, OH, it is usually WCKY/Pemberville, OH (near Toledo) with country. When tropo is up I'll get WRTS/Erie, PA 'Star 104' with a Top-40 format.
 
WCKY-FM (love that recycled callsign from WCKY in Cincinnati, never knew how it related to Country in Northern Ohio) seems to have one of the better signals in the state of Ohio. It is a regular visitor to at least parts of the Dayton area, if you're far enough away from WXEG's iBoc.
 
In Bellingham, WA....an unlistenable KMTT Tacoma, in most parts. In others, it gets whipped by 100,000 watt CHQM-FM Vancouver on 103.5.....
 
Here in Warminster, PA(Philly area), 103.7 is usually splatter from local WPPZ(Praise 103.9) in
Jenkintown, PA. Occasionally, I have received WMGM(103.7 the Shark) from AC and WXCY from
NE Maryland during tropo time.
 
On a lousy radio here in suburban Rochester NY, it's splat from local WDKX 103.9, a couple of miles away. But WDKX is only 800 watts with no IBOC and clean sidebands, so with a better radio and a directional antenna I get either WQNY Ithaca, 50 miles to the southeast, or W279BO, the translator of WCJW 1140 Warsaw NY, about 35 miles to the southwest. Trop up the St. Lawrence brings in Brockville, Ontario as well.
 
103.7 in Bothell/Bellevue/Pacific Beach, WA is always KMTT Tacoma, WA (horrible AAA/Classic Rock mix).

In Portland, OR I had nothing on the frequency. I had no sign of KXPC Lebanon, OR.

In Wapato, WA it's a CSN translator from Granger, WA (about 10 mi SE).

Northern VA,

On a lousy radio, it's splatter from WTOP 103.5 in DC. On a Tecsun DSP radio or Sony XDR-F1HD, it's IBOC from WTOP. Nulling out the IBOC by moving a Tecsun's whip antenna to a certain position, I could get a very weak WURV (correct call letters?) from Richmond or WXCY from northeastern MD. I've gotten Atlantic City, NJ's WMGM with a rock format, during a tropo.
 
KXPC is pretty much unusable in this area. They had a repeater on 103.7 for the Vancouver-Portland area a few years back, but I believe they have taken it off the air.

Currently I'm hearing ultra-right wing political talk on 103.7. I think one of the neighbours is picking up a stream or an SDARS channel and relaying it over analogue FM. The signal is fairly strong in the apartment but fades pretty quickly when I leave the complex.
 
in Memphis it's usually splatter from local WRBO-FM. if the tropo is coming in it's sometimes possible to get KABZ Little Rock.
 
From Coldwater, MI-

One of my best commercial frequencies. No locals on 103.7, but on my home set up I do get..

WCKY- Pemberville, OH- Country- Buckeye Country
WCSY- Hartford, MI- Oldies- Super Hits 103.7
WHZR- Royal Center, IN- Country- Hoosier Country
WFIU- Bloomington, IN- Public Radio (Indiana University)
WXSS- Wauwatosa, WI- CHR- Kiss FM
WCZE- Harbor Beach, MI- Cont. Christian- Smile FM
W279BP- Jackson, MI- Urban Gospel (translator for WFPM in Battle Creek)

And through tropo
WRTS- Erie, PA- CHR- Star 104
WFAV- Gilman, IL- CHR
WDBR- Springfield, IL- CHR
WHYB- Menominee, MI- Country
