FM Frequency of the Week - 92.9 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you get on 92.9 FM?

In Vermilion, OH I get mostly IBOC hash from WZAK 93.1 in Cleveland. Sometimes I can hear CFCO/Chatham, ON underneath the hash. Before the IBOC I could sometimes get WGTZ/Eaton, OH and WLTJ/Pittsburgh, PA
 
Here in Bellevue, WA it's KISM Bellingham, WA with classic rock. Head to South King County and K225AX Des Moines, WA comes in [KGHO-LP].

In Yakima, WA it's KDBL Toppenish, WA [92.9 The Bull Country].

In Pacific Beach I also heard KISM, and ditto Portland, OR [but that was 200+ mile Tropo].

P.S. There is a couple miles of road on I-5 near Dupont, WA [Fort Lewis/JBLM] where KDBL from Toppenish comes in, like a local, for around 2 miles due to knife edge refraction from Mt. Rainier.

Northern VA, it's usually an open frequency. I have heard WVHL Farmville, VA and WVBW in the Norfolk area.

I once heard KKXL Grand Forks, ND and WBLX Mobile, AL during E skips many years ago.
 
Baldwin Co. Alabama and it's Mobile-licensed local urban WBLX "93 BLX". BLX - blacks, get it? It's quite the ratings winner in Mobile, Pensacola and even shows up in the Ft. Walton Beach and Pascagoula ratings because it's basically the only real urban contemporary station around.

It seems to be a pretty well fortified signal. The only time I'm aware it's been off in recent memory is when the 1,800 ft tower their antenna was on (as well as several other FM and TV outlets) collapsed during hurricane Ivan in 2004. I wasn't around then to DX the dead air, though.
 
In Pasadena, Texas KKBQ 92.9 93Q Country -Cox

In San Antonio, Texas KROM 92.9 Estereo Latino Regional Mexican -Univision once a Power branded station under different ownership.

KNIN 92.9 Wichita Falls, Texas "Today's Hit Music" CHR/Top 40 -Townsquare Media, also formally a Power branded station.

And of course KKBQ was also a Top 40 powerhouse, but it's competitor KRBE used the Power brand.
 
Unless there's tropo in Lake County Indiana, or I'm outside of WXRT's Grade A coverage area, I can get WNDV-FM South Bend, IN. Otherwise, 93.1 WXRT Chicago stomps on 92.9.
 
Here in Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs), it's usually Star 92.9(forget calls) from Dover, DE. I have also received
Magic 92.9 from the Poconos from time to time.
 
I forgot to add that I got KKXL Grand Forks, ND once via Es, 7/5/2010. Really need to add more 92.9 during Es!

How could you get KISM all the way down here, even with tropospheric skip, with the sidebands of KRYP and the overdriven KZRI translator on 92.7 constantly hammering away at 92.9? I take it you must have been in their nulls.
 
I was in East Portland near PDX Airport at the Comfort Inn & Suites. Reception seems better out in the Eastern suburbs.

-crainbebo
 
Yeah, I know where you were; I just wasn't expecting there to be such a decent null there. Directly across the river from it, there's nothing except sidebands. But then, we do have pretty weird reception characteristics around here anyways, so I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised!

(That isn't the suburbs, by the way. You were still within city limits. Government Island's the suburbs. ;o)
 
Ah. Thanks for that information.

Other good logs made near PDX Airport: 96.1 KXXO/KZEL, 95.1 KSND, 105.5 KUKN/Christian xlator, 107.1 KRQT/KMHD-HD2 xlator, and of course KOMO and KNBQ.

Dillon, SC has one of the strongest atations in the Carolinas.

WEGX (Eagle) is a country station.

If this was mentioned, for some reason I am unable to get to page one.

Same with KISM, Bellingham, WA in Bellingham proper.

I think Puget Sound itself acts as a natural amplifier for the Bellingham FM station transmitters on Orcas Island. Which is why you can get them nearly everywhere from Olympia to WAAAY up on the BC coast.
 
Seems like it Bongwater. I was on the Kitsap Peninsula (Pt. Orchard, Bremerton, Keyport, then Poulsbo and back on the Kingston-Edmonds Ferry). Out at Fauntleroy, near the ferry terminal, stations from Seattle were static-ridden by hills, but stations as far up the coast as CJSU 89.7 Duncan were in like locals. KAFE and KWPZ were in very good, the Olympia stations were clear, and at times even KSWW from Aberdeen.

No it was not. WEGX does have a HUGE signal. I've heard it as far as Dunn and Smithfield in NC during normal conditions, and it frequently comes in through the Charleston area. It serves two markets (Florence and Myrtle Beach) as a country station, plus has all of that distant reach.

There's a translator in the Charleston area, but it is weak.
 
In Atlana it's Dave FM WZGC.... soon to be the new home of CBS Sports Radio....
