FM Frequency of the Week - 107.3 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What can you get on 107.3 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is local WNWV-Elyria, OH with smooth jazz. This is one frequency I don't ever remember anything intruding on its signal from here.
 
In Bellingham, WA CHBE, Victoria (Kool 107.3) Hot AC

In the early '80s in Lynnwood, WA I used to pick up a ghosty KFFM, Yakima. A CHR back then with a SERIOUS Pat Benatar fetish (I used to hear at least one Pat Benatar per hour, often two.)
 
From Coldwater, MI-

Mostly a mish-mash of WBBL- Greenville, MI (Sports- The Ball) and WRSW- Warsaw, IN (Lake City Rock)

Sometimes hip-hop WJUC Swanton, OH, smooth jazz WNWV Elyria, OH and WRZQ Greensburg, IN make it in.
 
In Monroe, WA I get a staticky CHBE Victoria with Hot AC.

I have picked up KFFM as far as Auburn, before a CSN translator went on. Never have picked it up in the Seattle Metro area. Recently, a Spanish pirate popped up somewhere in Seattle on 107.3 (religious).

Said CSN xlator is in Greenwater, with a mixed signal (non-existant here, poor-fair in Lynnwood, but excellent in Auburn).

Of course, Yakima is KFFM.

In Portland, OR I get nothing but IBOC from KXJM (Wild 107.5).

In Pacific Beach, WA I get K297AY Ocean Shores, WA (KGHO-LP xlator). It has a CP to move to 107.9 since KLSY 107.9 wants to move to 107.3.

In Baldwin County, Alabama it's local WRGV "107-3 Hit Music Now", Clear Channel's CHR competitor in the Pensacola and Mobile markets. It's only 50 kW so it has a huge signal disadvantage over the competition. The HD-2 now carries smooth jazz, which practically no one can pick up.
 
Lower analogue (not Ibiquity) sideband of whatever KXJM is calling itself these days. It completely obliterates anything else that might be on the frequency!
 
Here in Thornville, Ohio, a fair-at-best signal from oldies WYBZ in Zanesville. With 3,000 watts in not-so-flat terrain, it's tough to pick up on a house radio here, especially I'm in a west-facing area toward Columbus and the IBOC hash from WCKX. 10 miles west of here, WYBZ is getting clobbered.
 
Here, it is local WMGL (Magic 107.3) with an urban AC format. Before they flipped from 101.7 five years ago, Jacksonville was in often (then country).
 
Here in Warminster PA(Philadelphia area), it's usually WPUR from AC or the Philly TX of
Hatboro's WRDV/89.3, or splatter from 107.5 WBYN from Boyertown PA(near Reading).
In tropo, have gotten DC's WRQX or WAAF from Worcester MA.
 
In NW Indiana, it's usually splatter from 1st adjacent WZVN Lowell, IN from 107.1. During tropo, I can get WRSW Warsaw, IN. WRSW sounded like a local back in 2003 when I used to work in Mount Prospect, IL, & this was during daytime hours, despite 107.5 WGCI being a lot closer.
 
Springfield, IL: Primarily WDKR Maroa, IL/Decatur (oldies), with KGRS Burlington, IA occasionally trying to appear in the west half of the capitol city. Not sure of WDKR's actual sign-on date but I'm sure back in the pre-rimshot days a decent KGRS signal could have been likely received all the way to Springfield (including in parts of the city, particularly at night).
