Vancouver/PDX: Sometimes a little bit of sideband spill-over from KRYP (93.1) and KPDQ (93.9) if I am using a radio with a wide enough tuner, otherwise just static.

Pendleton: Upper sideband of KRKL (93.3), sometimes lower sideband of KGSG (93.7) if the conditions are good.

None here. Just lower sideband of WWWZ (93.3). Ocean Isle comes in around Georgetown, and Columbia doesn't come in until south of Orangeburg.

93.5 here in south FL used to be one of the most interesting FM frequencies.

In the early-mid 70s on a cheap radio, the sound of TV channel 10 Miami came in on it. (Anyone wanna speculate why this happened?)

I think my first Cuban Tropo catch (from home, anyway) on FM was in mid 1989 or so, CMHW Santa Clara. Funny thing....I am sure they are still around, but I have not heard it from home in 14 years!

XHPP in Mexico, Super 93 Maracaibo Venezuela, Radio Monumental San Jose Costa Rica, and a CBC Canadian (likely London ON) are my farthest 93.5's I suppose....or at least the most interesting ones.

Either KKBN 93.5 Sonora, a 400 watter from about 100 miles away or Max 93.5 from Ukiah, about 125 miles away

Usually nothing here in northern VA with no tropo; otherwise WZBH in DE 107 miles or WBBC Blackstone, VA 116 miles away "Bobcat Country".
In Fredericksburg, VA I heard WBBC before WFLS 93.3 turned on its IBOC with a Pioneer car stereo with the Supertuner IIID, during a tropo event. Right now over there, it's loud IBOC hiss on 93.5. WBBC is 17.5 KW and 394 ft according to Radio-Locator.

I get Max 93.5 in at my bros house, not very clear

 

[Tincap]

CKXC Kingston ON, is the semi-local, while WOKR Remsen NY pays a visit, from time to time, along with Montreal's Radio 2 outlet CBM.

93.5 and 92.7 in Indian and Illinois were interesting because several stations swapped dial spots to open up 104.9 for Muncie (Hartford City had the allocation).

 

[gr8oldies]

Short bursts due to mobile. Lafayette IN WKHY (formerly WXUS on 92.7). Dayton Ohio Hartford City IN or occasional Toledo market.(WRQN). In East Tenn a Spanish rimshot

That frequency is blocked by 93.7 KSKS Fresno a Grandfathered station with 68K Watts ERP at 4700 feet sea level in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains 22 miles away.

 

[RyanHoward]

Here in Warminster, PA, 93.5 is mostly bleedover from either 93.3(WMMR Philly) or
93.7(WSTW from Delaware).

 

[eskipper411]

I have picked up on 93.5 (KLXK) in Breckinridge, TX with 93.7 (KNOR) bleeding over thanks to it's 15 mile distance.
