FM Frequency of the Week 2018-19: 96.3

G

What do/did you hear on 96.3?

Short one for me:
East Tennessee: Local WJBZ, Seymour TN, one of the few FM Southern Gospel stations in a top 100 market. Haven't caught them off to hear anything else.

Retro/other: Dayton, OH. A reasonably good signal from WLVQ (QFM96), Columbus.
Lafayette, IN area in the 80s/90s: with WAZY next door, nothing. WBBM-FM could have made it, I'm not sure about WHHH.

There's a job for you in this 1990 clip from KQSW, Rock Springs, WY in our DX clip of the week. http://46124.info/FM/Wyoming/WY Rock Springs 96.3 1990 KQSW .mp3
 
We're just hitting great channel after great channel aren't we ;-)

Yakima WA - Weak to fair KRCW Royal City, WA (Regional Mexican) in dead-band. Also a one-time logging of K242AX The Dalles OR (Classical //89.9 KQAC Portland) heard about 25 miles away from home at 6000 feet above sea level (same county). Of course, tons and tons of Eskip logged here over the years.
KHEY El Paso TX (Country)
KLLL Lubbock TX (Country)
KZCH Derby KS (Top 40)
KERP Ingalls KS (Country)
KKLZ Las Vegas NV (Classic Hits)
K242BV St. George UT (96X Alternative KCLS-HD2...195 watts!)
KXCM Joshua Tree CA (Country)
KBZU Albuquerque NM (Classic Country)

My #1 most wanted - KSWG Wickenburg AZ, classic country. How many times have I heard Phoenix and NO confirmation on the 96.3? Too many to count. KXOL-FM Los Angeles (Mega 96.3 Spanish) is also well-wanted.
 
In the near north Chicago area it's WBBM-FM all the time.

Retro: One day many years back when WBBM-FM was off the air during the day(transmitter failure) I heard my first e-skip "WMJX Miami, fl
This was during winter!
 
Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs):

Usually splatter from local 96.5 WTDY. In tropo, there's a Latin station from NYC(forget the calls) and
WHUR from DC(Howard University's station).
 
96.3 is an interesting frequency. It's a three-way mess of WKLA Ludington, MI (Hot AC), WSFQ Peshtigo, WI (Hot AC), and WLXT Petoskey, MI (AC). All of them take turns, but WKLA (which moved to 96.3 from 106.3 and downgraded from a 6kW A to a 3kW A in 2016) is on top the most.

Other 96.3 catches include:
WBBM Chicago, IL (CHR)
WUSJ Jackson, MS (Country; E-skip)
