FM Frequency of the Week - 104.5 MHz

[Buckeyes2001]

What do you all get on 104.5 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is a rather scratchy WQKT/Wooster, OH with country music and local sports coverage, including Cleveland Indians and Cavaliers games

Yakima, WA

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

In Seattle, it was KMCQ Covington, WA "Q104.5" but I haven't heard it here yet. 104.5 in Portland was a WAY-FM translator, that I have heard on tropo at 100 miles on the Eugene OR Global Tuners node.

Another of my locals in East Tennessee, WKHT.
In the old town of Dayton, splatter/IBOC from WTUE on 104.7, but it wasn't too tough to get Indy on 104.5 at times

Far northwest suburbs of Chicago.....

One of the few relatively blank spots on the dial, so not much of anything. Sometimes a very weak WSLD, a 6kw class A FM with COL of Whitewater, WI.

WSLD's studio and transmitter are about 40 miles northwest of me in a very rural Wisconsin farm country location.. I used to drive by it about once a month, and thought it was quite an interesting setup. There....in middle of nowhere....was nothing but a radio station. And one neighbor. A bar right next door!

Very handy.

Back when 104.5 KMCQ was still in The Dalles, OR before they moved to Seattle, I could pick them up on good days on the Silverdale, WA waterfront.

Springfield, IL: Very easy--local heritage country station WFMB-FM from here in Springfield. AFAIK next year will be their 50th anniversary on the air, with country ever since their Day 1 of broadcasting in 1965.
