FM Frequency of the Week - 104.5 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you get on 104.5 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is a somewhat scratchy WQKT/Wooster, OH with country. Don't recall getting anything else on this frequency.
 
Northern VA,

Semi-weak country WGRX Falmouth, VA to the south. The tropo openings have brought me Philly and Norfolk area in the past.
 
104.5 is a dead frequency locally but often dominated by near-distant classic rocker WXRR in Hattiesburg, which is about 110 miles to my northwest. Hattiesburg makes another appearance at 103.7, which is similarly clear classic rock from WFFX. Most nights, both stations are clear as a bell here in Baldwin County, AL, often all the way to the beach and beyond.

WQKT often makes it as far south as Newark and Zanesville with few problems. Several times it's been the only way to listen to an Indians or Cavaliers games in the car. Here in Thornville, WLOH-FM from Lancaster also is on 104.5 but it has a terrible signal here for being less than 20 miles away, so it's not uncommon to hear the Indians on both WLOH and WQKT with a very slight delay. Makes for an interesting echo.
 
In Bellevue, WA it's local KMCQ Covington, WA with oldies. It's a station that most of us love [d], until it started playing more overplayed hits and less "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and "Junk Food Junkie". I did hear Jailhouse Rock yesterday so something might be in the air for KMCQ to turn the clock back and give us more deep cuts!


In Pacific Beach, WA the only station I heard was a very weak KMCQ once and very briefly.

In Yakima, WA I get some type of SS pirate, usually with Regional Mexican music. No xlators in town. Haven't tracked it down yet.

In Portland, OR it's K283BL Portland, which is WAY-FM christian music.

Kiss 104.5 Atlanta. 15-20 miles up the road WYYU 104.5 Dalton,Georgia
 
104.5 *would* be a great frequency here in south FL *if* the I-Block of 104.3 & the pirate would go away.....

There are two 104.5's in the Bahamas, one in Freeport, one in Nassau....and I could hear them here, but, see above.

Aside from that, the closest 104.5 in the US to me that is not a translator is in Atlantic Beach/Jacksonville!

In Bellingham, WA, it's splatter from an NWPR translator on 104.7 and CHHR 104.3 Vancouver, BC. KMCQ barely makes it to Marysville and is completely gone at the Snohomish/Skagit County line.
