FM Frequency of the Week 2018-19-20: 91.1

What do you/did you/have you received on the U.S. non-comm frequency of 91.1?

East Tennessee: There are 3 stations that can be received within a short distance. In Knoxville, Fulton High School's oldies station, WKCS. Head over the Sevier County and that signal is overtaken by WZTH, Tusculum TN "Truth 91.1". Southwest of town, another Godcaster, WTSE.

Retro/other: 91.1 seems to be a pretty clear DX frequency in Southwest Ohio.

Retro DX Clip of the week from Bob Hawkins: Here's weak ESkip reception from KVHS, Concord, CA.

In the near north Chicago suburbs I hear a translator for WBEZ (W21CL) the Chicago area NPR station.

50 watts from the top of the John Hancock.building. I didn't even know that one was there. I'll have to try for it. But it looks like tough duty given their north-south directional pattern. WBEZ also has a 10 watt translator on 91.7 out in the cornfields west of Elgin (which is actually a hot spot for new development). I might have better luck with that one.

The one from downtown is not exactly strong, but I can hear it in the near north suburbs.
 
Lexington, KY:
Clear frequency, unless within 10 miles or so of WUKY transmitter on adjacent 91.3 (100kW full market NPR). In that case, it's their splatter and IBOC noise.
If my memory serves me right, I've never had a successful DX on 91.1.

Zachary, LA:
Strong signal from local Louisiana State Univ. College-formatted KLSU, Baton Rouge (23kW @ 161' ~17 mi.)
 
Meriden, CT: WSHU Fairfield, CT. Classical music outside of drive times on weekdays, a variety of talk and music (Celtic) programming on Saturdays (NPR and APM), and 18 hours of classical music plus three New Age/ambient music programs on Sundays.
 
Ellensburg WA

Weak to fair/good, but still multipathed, KYPL Yakima (Positive Life Radio). My second log on 91.1 was logged just today on the Robinson Canyon trail west of Thorp - and within the 15 mile contour for the logbook. That station was KPBX Spokane (NPR).
