Denver, CO - Local KRKS-FM. Salem's preach-o-rama.
Retro: From high-school days, the station for a male student near St. Louis was KSHE, at 94.7. KSHE started out in the basement of Crestwood resident Rudy Ceres, hence the Crestwood city of license. It was a female-oriented format, calling itself "The Lady of FM", reinforced by the KSHE call letters. Ceres sold the station to Century Broadcasting in 1964. In November 1967, it switched to a mostly progressive-rock format. For its ubiquitous bumper stickers, the station commissioned a drawing of a pig with headphones, dark shades, and a joint coming out of its mouth. (The joint later disappeared for a while; it's my understanding that it's back.) Under its new GM, Sheldon (Shelley) Grafman, KSHE played an eclectic variety of rock music. Many of those "K-SHE Klassics" are still played today on a KSHE HD side channel. The station maintained its unique identity through the 1970s and early 1980s. Many a college student at Mizzou, including me, learned how to make a decent indoor FM antenna in order to pick up KSHE. (Usually, there would still be fade-outs every 15 to 20 minutes; we were 125 miles away, after all. Nowadays, reception's not possible because of a stupid pointless satellite-fed religious translator at 94.7 in Columbia that doesn't even manage to put a halfway decent signal into downtown Columbia but still prevents reception of anything else.) There was nothing like hearing one of the DJs say, "This is K-SHE 95", just before a progressive rock jam. Grafman selected much of the music himself. Century Broadcasting sold KSHE to Emmis in 1984. A more conventional presentation and format took over, and Grafman was not kept on, but, amazingly, the station continued to honor its heritage and still would slip in a "Klassic" now and then. Grafman's imprint on the station was so strong that, when he died in 1997, KSHE aired a three-hour tribute broadcast in his honor. (I was lucky enough to be able to record it during a visit to mid-Missouri.) Emmis sold it to Hubbard in 2018 and appears to be re-emphasizing some of the station's heritage. While no radio station is what it used to be, KSHE has an incredible history that it should be proud of.
In the early 1980s, still in Missouri, I had a Channel Master FM outdoor antenna at my residence in Columbia, equipped with a rotor. Turn to the ESE, get KSHE; turn to the SW, get another legendary station, KTTS-FM from Springfield, with Great Empire's hometown-flavored country format, "The Radio Ranch". There were some great news people at KTTS, too.

Wilmington Delaware
Strong HD signal from WDSD Dover DE. Despite being 50 miles to my S it comes in stronger than the Philly stations 25 miles to my NE. It plays Country Music but also carries University of Delaware Football and Basketball games and Nascar. It is the only FM station that can be heard everywhere in DE - from Centerville to Fenwick Island, from Claymont to Delmar.

Central Kentucky:
Weak WLGK Louisville with Christian music.
MANY years ago WLAP FM in Lexington was knocked off the air due to a thunderstorm.
Tropo brought in KTTS Springfield Mo. for a few minutes with WLAP FM off.
I was living in Lexington proper, then so the WLAP FM signal generally would not let you hear anything ( even tropo) on 94.7

Tyler TX:
A weak signal from Brownsboro High School's KJBB-LP Brownsboro with K-12 programs and a wide mix of classic hits and what-not.
Can hear KVLL-FM from Wells (Lufkin-Nacogdoches) on occasion. It, too, is classic hits. Tropospheric conditions brings in Hot AC Mix 94.7 KAMX Luling (San Antonio) from time to time.

Clifton, New Jersey
I get WXBK Newark, NJ. Currently, 94.7 The Block is on analog and HD1, New York's Country 94.7 on HD2 and Voice of New York Radio Korea on HD3. WXBK HD3 is a simulcast of 87.75 WNYZ-LD New York, NY.

Canyon Lake, Texas: KAMX, Mix94.7 from Luling (Austin) with a HOT AC format. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, they were an excellent Modern AC station that even played Plush by STP and Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. Excellent signal here.
Back in the day when 94.7 was blank in this area, I heard the legendary 94.7 KMET from Los Angeles during an E skip.
Driving to the Valley a few years ago, I did catch KSHE 95 from Crestwood/ St. Louis. One of the best Classic Rock stations out there and quite the heritage.

Kenosha, WI- So since no one in the area has chimed in, our "local" is WLS-FM. 4400 Watts from the Willis Tower. Their signal is probably among the worst Chicago full-market FMs up here across the state line; it gets eaten up by WKTI HD sideband.
Lets see if I can remember all their call sign changes. WLS, WDAI (a Great rock station, until Disco DAI happened), WRCK, WLS again, WYTZ (country), WXCD (CD 94.7), WZZN (The Zone), and WLS once more.
Over the years I have heard WCSX Birmingham (Detroit) MI, WFBQ Indianapolis, KSHE Crestwood (St. Louis) MO, WZOR Michicot WI.

In Charleston, SC it used to be one of my best DX frequencies, but a sports translator signed on 6-7 years ago and knocked it out. Actually has pretty decent reach at 250 watts (W234CV).
Used to hear WICI Sumter, WQDR Raleigh, a couple Floridas on the regular. WQDR has pretty amazing reach with that 100,000 watt signal.

Going the other way, I usually get WLS to between Rensselaer and Lafayette before it loses the co-channel fight to WFBQ. But adjacent channels do have a knack for hurting reach. I assume WLS use to sound better in Kenosha way back in the pre-HD days?
I was in Kankakee and Momence a couple of summers ago and had a solid, but weak WLS-FM driving around. From my time in Lafayette, normally it was a weak WFBQ, but now and then WLS-FM (or whatever it was that week) would dominate...same with other frequencies that Chicago and Indianapolis share. I did get KSHE one morning in Lafayette. (this was in the 90s)
