FM Frequency of the Week: 92.5

Not open for further replies.
Denver, CO - Local KKSE-FM, licensed to Broomfield, recently applied to downgrade from C1 to C2 status but this should not affect reception in the city of Denver proper. Sports talk in marvelous mono.

Former Oakland, CA - Splatter, and this time I really do mean splatter, from 92.7 KREV when Stolz was running it and overmodulating the signal. When KREV has been off the air, KBEB makes it through as a fringe signal.
 
kw - Melbourne FL

92.5 MHz
WYUU - Safety Harbor FL - Maxima FM - Spanish - 2023 (Tampa Bay area - usually overshadowed by Orlando on 92.3

Past surprises

WCKN - Monck’s Corner SC - Kickin’ 92-5 - New country – Charleston area - 2014

WPAP - Panama City FL - 92.5 WPAP - Country music - 2012

WEOW - Key West FL - Wow 92.5 - Dance/house music - 1994

Wilmington Delaware

Local WXTU Philadelphia with a good HD quality signal playing Country Music.

WNKZ Pocomoke City MD can be heard during Tropo overriding WXTU at times. It relays WKNZ with Contemporary Christian Music for the Maryland part of Delmarva.

Retro - WXTU used to be WIFI 92 with Top 40 Music back in the 70's before their flip to Country.
 
East Tennessee: W223DM, Sevierville, translator of WVLZ-1180
In
absence of the translator, weak reception of WESC, Greenville SC. One time reception of WBKR, Evansville IN.
Retro/other: Dayton, OH area, WOFX, Cincinnati OH (south) or WVKS, Toledo (north).
 
KQMV Seattle usually. Some nights co-channel CKKS-FM-1 Abbottsford can bleed over.
 
Tyler, TX:

Local LPFM KJID Tyler. Spanish language religious fare, regularly wiped out by classic rock Lonestar 92.5 KZPS in Dallas.
 
Very casual FM DXer here, but one -- despite being a NYC kid --who has always liked cowboy records : WXTU from Philly is the usual 92.5 signal on the car radio (especially going uphill).
I'm not really given to the 2023 Country, but it's nice to see the genre finish so well -- for DECADES now -- in a major-major city book, always healthy in the top 10 and often in the top five.
(Side Country note : back when downstate daytimer WWSM 1510 and their traditional, American Gothic pitchfork nostalgia C&W {songs by the FATHERS of the Pioneers, :) } were broadcasting, they were one of six (6!) Country stations to show up in the Harrisburg PA book)
 
Central Kentucky:

Two translators 17 miles apart.

One for WLXG ESPN 1300 in Lexington
The other for WEKY 1340, Richmond.

WOFX from Cincinnati mixes in. If it weren't for the two translators above, WOFX would be a regular with a decent signal.

As you can imagine, a crap frequency here for me.
Tropo brings in WBKR Owensboro occasionally
 
Nothing in suburban Columbus, Ohio next to country giant WCOL on 92.3.
WOFX begins to break through around Washington Court House, about 40 miles southwest.
Based on my travels between here and Toledo for college back in the late 90s and early 2000s, WVKS started to come in right around Marion. I've heard it south of Lima.
 
Nothing NW of Maydelle, Tx
 
Clifton, New Jersey

No nearby licensed stations, but I have been able receive WXTU "92.5 XTU" Philadelphia, PA and WWYZ "Country 92.5" Waterbury, CT several times during tropo.

DX/Flashback: On 6/22/2023, I received WYUU "92.5 Maxima" Safety Harbor, FL and WFSX-FM "92.5 Right All Along" Naples, FL during e-skip.
 
In Wilkes-Barre(NEPA), it's mostly a 250-watt translator for "Family Life Network", a network of Christian Music stations heard on stations across PA AND NY. It is also broadcasted on the HD subchannel of 98.5 KRZ. Prior to this, it once simulcasted a classic hits "Gem 104", which has recently rebranded to different frequencies.

Fun fact: When this translator is off the air, when I tune to the HD subchannel of 98.5 WKRZ-FM that is carrying this signal, at times I heard 92.5 WKGB out of Binghamton(and as of this writing, I heard that station again when the main translator was knocked off the air due to a wind storm). Also, the 97.5 translator, which broadcasts out of Scranton(used to be a W-B station), transmits the 92.5 signal, and what is more interesting is that at one time when 92.5 was knocked off the air, I heard WXTU from Philly with a faint signal(I even heard it again last night as of this writing when it, too was knocked off the air by a wind storm), and during one of the recent big tropo openings from last month, I even heard an Air1 station from Winchester, VA! This is one of the strangest occurance I ever experienced as a lifelong DX'er!
 
Central Kansas:
A blank frequency locally, but can get occasional reception from KQMA/Phillipsburg and KSYN/Joplin.

North Iowa:
K223AB/Mason City, which is a part of the KJCY Christian network based right over the state line in Minnesota. Haven’t caught either KQRS/Golden Valley or KJJY/West Des Moines if the translator were ever off air for maintenance.
