FM Frequency of the Week: 93.7
- Thread starter MarioMania
- Start date
Where I am in the near north Chicago suburbs this is another frequency that is directly adjacent to a major local station. WLIT is 93.9 and I get it's splatter on 93.7 just 15 or so miles away.
From Cheyenne, WY:
It's the local KAZY with decent strength (25kw at 7.3 miles away), and has been, thus far, unbudgable for any other stations. Other than that, KAZY has some weird weak zones.
Of couse, the KAZY call letters used to belong to the Denver market on another rocker, so it's nice to see a Cheyenne station continue with it.
During my trip to Sheridan, I could hear 93.7 KYTI, and it was the strongest FM my radio could recieve while in town.
In Estes Park, the last bits of KAZY (about 65 miles away) can be heard due to the high elevation.

East Tennessee: One of our few fairly open frequencies, but if I get anything, it's usually WFBC in Greeneville SC. In a couple of our rare tropo events, WFCJ, Miamisburg, OH has made it in. Also, once, WDJC in Birmingham AL.
Retro/other: Dayton, Ohio: WFCJ was my local but get to the eastern suburbs and WMVO, Mount Vernon might sneak in.In my West Central Ohio QTH, sometimes the powerhouse 93.7 (WJFM at the time)would sneak in over WFCJ.

From Pickerington, Ohio, a solid WQIO from about 40 miles to my northeast in Mount Vernon. AC format since the mid-80s and at 37,000 watts from almost 1,700 feet above sea level, it easily blankets the Columbus area and most everywhere between here and the southern reaches of the Cleveland market. For my $, it's one of the best FM signals in Ohio.
In my Houston days, I was a big listener to then-classic rock "93.7 The Arrow." One of several flamethrowers in that market, with 100,000 watts from the Missouri City tower farm.

I don't know why I called WQIO WMVO-FM. I know it was WOIO then WQIO.
In St. Louis, 93-7 The Bull (KSD).
Kenosha, WI- Way- fringe translator W229CQ Milwaukee, rebroadcasting WDDW-HD2 Sturtevant. Just as likely to hear WBCT Grand Rapids, the 320,000 watt beast; I can get it most any time at about 100 miles across the Big Lake. Also have gotten WBFM Sheboygan (which reportedly gets buried by WBCT in the summer), and WBGR (ex-WEKZ-FM) Monroe, WI.
93.7 is also the first frequency on which I experienced Tropospheric Ducting. KSEL Lubbock, TX was my first, also KSD St. Louis, MO.

At 100 miles, WBCT with 320000 watts/238 meters HAAT produces about 10 dB F(50,10) more interference than a 50000 watt/150 meters HAAT does.
I was involved with two upgrades in Michigan, more than 25 years ago, which were running into artificial obstacles, and the owners asked if there were any alternative channels which could be used. One was near Frankenmuth, MI, the other near Harrietta, MI, and both happened to be 93.7, which were only required to be separated as if WBCT was 50 kW/150 meters. I told both that it fit in, but that they would receive much more interference than from a typical Class B. Their lawyers said to Petition to drop in 93.7 anyway, regardless of the interference, because if they didn't, some competitor would find those frequencies anyway. They Petitioned, and thus those stations are on the air today. As long as you have a 70 dBu F(50,50) signal, it's not usually that big of a deal. Except across Lake Michigan, where unusual tropospheric conditions over water, and shore line terrain problems are apparent.

Central Kansas:
Nothing but KYEZ/Salina
North Iowa:
Mostly bleedover from adjacent channel KIAI/Mason City, though if you get away from KIAI’s RF cloud, you may get KKRL/Carroll (KXXR/Minneapolis is a rarity, and only comes in the more north you go).

KXZM, a Regional Mexican format station that floods the area I'm in, even though it has only 410 watts, with a HAAT of almost 2300 feet. Not a fan of the format, but the station does "get out" quite well for such little power.
Before KXZM flooded the valley, I was able to get KSKS out of Fresno. This powerful station puts out an amazing 68kW signal with a HAAT of almost 2000 feet. That's crazy, yet, effective. I miss the days when I was able to DX out of the area, on specific open frequency's....

Some parts of North Vallejo/American Canyon area can pick up a faint signal from KBBL-FM Santa Rosa.
The furthest south I've heard KSKS was driving down (northbound) from the Los Pinetos Nike Missle Base in Sylmar, at ~3,800 ft. There was a ridge blocking 93.7 KDB from Santa Barbara, allowing perfect reception.
