FM Frequency of the Week (11/5/21-11/12/21): 98.7

[ente]

Picayune, Mississippi:

Usually the upper IBOC sideband of WYLD New Orleans blocks anything on 98.7, I have also heard:
W254DJ Gulfport, MS, translator of WQFX 1130
WYCT Pensacola, FL "Cat Country 98.7"
WJKK Vicksburg, MS "Mix 98.7"
KKST Oakdale, LA "98.7 Kiss FM", which is the furthest at 173 miles

You won't catch this one ever again. This was KQWB-FM 98.7 from Moorhead, MN. In 2013 KQWB 98.7 and KTLA 105.1 swapped dial positions. Q98 was the go-to rock station for Fargo Moorhead in the '70s and '80s and I have very fond memories of listening to it pretty much all day long whenever I could during my pe-teen and teenage years. Not sure when this bumper sticker dates from but it looks like the mid '70s. Stereo!

Here's the KRQU 98.7 transmitter and STL sitting right next to KTDX 89.3 (out of view in this shot)

KRQU is fed by an STL from the studio in downtown Laramie. KTDX is fed by an IP Stream.
This is the KRQU and fake bird on the roof of their building at Grand & South 2nd in Laramie:

KLWV is in the same building as are two wireless ISPs. On the same very small hill is KCGY 95.1 and KUWR 91.9 Drive around laramie, KUWR and KCGY 95.1 mix, among other places on 98.3. No one has filters for any of them.

KOWB 1290 is just off the highway, studios at the base of the 3 towers. about 1/2 mile fiurther down the side road past KOWBN is KHAT 1210.. no fitlers in either, and they have splatters/harmonics/mixing all over the dial.

KLMI-FM1 is on the same hill as one of the larmaie pl;ains tv association translators.

KIMX 104.9, a 100.3 translator for CSN and the 96.7 translator are on the same hill as the weather service radio transmitter

All of this is pretty cool, however the imgur links doesn't seem to be working right now.

I was finally able to use my phone to pull it up. That's a nice looking transmitter box? I take it the 944.5 is an STL?

Correct, fed by the thing with the fake bird on it
