FM Frequency of the Week: 93.1

[ksradiogeek]

Central Kansas:
Strong signal from KHMY/Pratt. Other than one LPFM and maybe some translators, as well as a blip of KRVN-FM/Grand Island, ‘HMY is the only station on this frequency in the Sunflower State (thanks, 100,000 watts and mostly flat terrain!).

North Iowa:
Occasional weak to semi-fair reception from KATO-FM/New Ulm.

(South) San Jose, California

20.5kW KFBK out of Pollock pines / Placerville makes it into our area/yard, with a weak "spot" signal. Pretty good DX catch though..

 

[Mr Tony]

Here in Mankato, MN its KATO Mankato
Country format
100k watts

well after a weekend of stunting with "The Macarena" they switched to Classic Hits 80s & 90s as "93.1 KATO Hits"

Since this popped up I must amend my comment to indicate in Lafayette, IN it was mostly (whatever the Indianapolis station was, WNAP, WKLR, WEAG, WIBC) and sometimes WXRT, Chicago

I wonder if you can receive WHYN in some of the mountains in your Vermont location

I remember it as WKLR. ....Until poof! They were something else.

It was the legendary WNAP "the Buzzard" with top 40 techniques with a mix of singles and album cuts from the late 60s to around 1980, then more of a standard top 40 through the mid 80s, changing to WEAG at one point, then WKLR with classic rock, then oldies, back to WNAP-FM with 70s, and other changes before becoming WIBC

From Delphi Indiana it was WNAP Indianapolis, WXRT Chicago, WDEE Detroit, and WZAK Cleveland.
From Springfield Ohio, the same stations plus heard Pratt Kansas once.

All a long time ago.

If you remember WDEE on 93.1 it must have been, I remember it as WDRQ going back to the 70s. I've lived in that area (Delphi) and never heard Detroit of Cleveland, so those were nice catches

I had a Radio Shack Archer Supreme 10 element directional beam antenna and a rotor. I still have my JVC DX tuner. It is so selective that it can pick up stations on the next channel to locals.

From Indianapolis I regularly heard 3 Stations from the Knoxville Tennessee area. They were WOKI 100.3, WBIR 103.5, and WIVK 107.7.

Good FM antennas are hard to find today.

Tried this afternoon on my car radio, heard something that might have been WHYN's music in the noise but was unable to ID. I'm a good 65 miles north of the Massachusetts border and Springfield stations don't make it up here. On adjacent channels, I heard AC WEZF Burlington on 92.9 and country WNHW Belmont, NH (Concord market) on 93.3.
