FM Frequency of the Week - 104.1 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What can you get on 104.1 MHz? Here in Vermilion, OH that would be WQAL/Cleveland 'Q104' with a Hot AC format. Never heard anything else intrude on their signal. One time while visiting a friend in Columbus, OH I was picking up WPAY/Portsmouth, OH on 104.1 (whose call letters have since changed)
 
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago....

WIZM (Madison, WI) is sometimes strong enough to be a pest for Chicago's WJMK.
 
Despite local 800-watt WDKX on 103.9 just three miles away in downtown Rochester, I can usually null them out (they don't run IBOC!) to hear WHTT 104.1 from Buffalo, 70 miles west.

The occasional tropo opening up the St. Lawrence will also bring in CKTF from Gatineau-Ottawa.
 
Yup, KFIS. It's one of the weaker-sounding locals up here, apart from KNRK.
 
Here in Bellevue, WA 104.1 is KAFE Bellingham, WA (Soft Rock). I also caught KNAB Burlington, CO during an Es opening back in 2009 when KAFE was still 104.3, and also caught CHHR Vancouver, BC before the switch.

In Yakima, WA it's local KXDD (Country).

In Pacific Beach, WA it's also KAFE, yet over 125 mi to the NE they still come in.

In Portland, OR it's local KFIS Scappoose, OR (Christian Contemporary).

Durham, North Carolina..

104.1 MHz is either WTQR in Winston-Salem, NC or WYAV in Myrtle Beach, SC, with the occasional reception of WCXL in Kill Devil Hills, NC.

Other stations logged include:

KRBE, Houston, TX
WVGR, Grand Rapids, MI
WMZK, Merrill, WI
WPRS, Waldorf, MD
KGGF, Fredonia, KS
 
Manassas, VA,

It's WPRS Waldorf, MD with the black gospel format. I once heard the Outer Banks 104.1 over WPRS during a tropo opening.
 
I think Top 40/CHR has been pretty good at 104.1 Like Houston's KRBE for example. Houston's legendary CHR has been playing Top 40 while others just come and go. Competitors from the past (93Q)and the present (Hot 95-7 & Mix 96-5) couldn't hold 104's strong, powerful candle.
 
Here in Austin, Texas on 104.1 I occasionally hear during good E's the following stations:

KWOW with Reg Mex as "La Ley 104.1"
KRBE in Houston with Top 40
KSAH in Pearsall, TX with Reg Mex as "La Raza"
KKUS in Tyler, TX with Country as "104.1 The Ranch"

Thanks
 
Here in High Bridge NJ it's a very solid WAEB-FM Allentown PA. If there is trop the most common are WPRS in Waldorf MD or WCXL in Kill Devil Hills NC.
 
Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs):

Usually WAEB-FM from Allentown. Have also heard Harrisburg's WNNK and
in tropo situations, WIOF(now, I forget the calls) from Hartford CT.
 
Tossup between WLBC Muncie and what was WPAY in Portsmouth, OH (now a WNKU simulcast) in Dayton, Ohio area...of course there's the issue of 103.9 WXEG
