FM Frequency of the week - 107.5 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

Discovered that this one hadn't been done before...

What can you get on 107.5 FM? If it's a strong local, what do you think would come in if it was ever off the air?

Here in Vermilion, OH I mostly get IBOC from WNWV 107.3/Elyria, OH. WGPR/Detroit comes in through the hash with varying degrees depending on cross-lake enhancement conditions.
 
Allendale, MI: Slop from WBBL (107.3)
Manistee, MI: Usually WCCW Traverse City, but WDUZ Brillion, WI can occasionally override it during the summer
 
Northern VA, it's double IBOC from both local 107.3 and 107.7. Last summer, I had WNNT 107.5 Warsaw, VA, with its 6 kW signal about 90 miles away, rising above that IBOC noise during a tropo opening.
 
In the Mobile-Pensacola area it's HD sideband noise from 107.3 Hit Music Now WRGV licensed to Pensacola. Even though it's one of our market's smaller signals (just 50 kW at 1601 ft HAAT) I've don't recall hearing anything overpower the HD sideband on 107.5.

The most likely thing to hear in absence of the local signal would probably be Kixie 107 WKXI from Magee, Mississippi, playing R&B top the Jackson metro.
 
In Monroe, WA it's usually IBOC from KNDD. However, KXJM Portland, OR has made it in via Tropo.

In Yakima, WA I get KFFM splatter.

In Chicagoland, it's WGCI Chicago. I believe this station has a backup, & wouldn't even go off the air. So except for major tropo, I won't get anything else. Just like I wouldn't get anything else when radio stations owned by CBS go on backup.
 
I tried to get Leicester's 107.5 Demon FM but with no joy. It's very low powered. On 107.6 I get a reasonable signal from Nottingham's Dawn FM (station for the south asian community)
 
Here in Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs), it's WBYN, a religious station out of Boyertown PA(near Reading). In tropo conditions,
NYC's WBLS has overtaken it a few times.
 
In Houston it is rimshot KGLK-Lake Jackson, Tx. as "The Eagle". It is a classic rocker that simulcasts with KHPT-Conroe, Tx. at 106.9.
