In the near north Chicago suburbs nothing but splatter from 89.3 WNUR which has a good signal here.

An easy one for me - KSOH Wapato WA (Lifetalk Radio). Nothing else has been heard here, and even in Roslyn & Cle Elum it's all KSOH. You won't hear C89.5 Seattle probably until Snoqualmie Pass on 90.

Mankato, MN

Splatter for KMSU 89.7 (since the tower is like 2 miles from my house)

 

[Street Novelist]

KPOO community radio out of San Francisco 270 w plays an eclectic mix of music...signal is very weak, as you would expect. Insert jokes here.

Central KS:
Good, pretty clean signal from KHCD/Salina (1 of the 3 stations that make up the NPR/classical hybrid Radio Kansas, O&O by my alma mater, Hutchinson Community College).

Mason City, IA:
Fair signal from K-Love affiliate KLFG/Ft. Dodge, with IPR Classical KHKE/Cedar Falls fighting with it here and there.
