FM Frequency of the Week: 94.9

Denver, CO - Spillover from local 94.7 KRKS-FM.
Retro - In Kansas City, KCMO-FM, formerly mounted on the very tall self-supporting tower in the Union Hill neighborhood of Kansas City. At one time, that tower was the tallest self-supporting structure in the world, built for then-KCMO-TV (now KCTV). KCMO-FM also was the only Kansas City FM station to survive the near-extinction of FM in the 1950s (though nearby KANU in Lawrence, Kansas came on the air in 1952 and today is the flagship for Kansas Public Radio).

Kenosha, WI- This frequency's a little tough with local 95.1 (WIIL), but it doesn't take much to get WOLX Baraboo, WI. This Madison market station has a BIG footprint- it's a grandfathered Class B with 37,000 Watts @ 1300' in the Baraboo bluffs east of Devils Lake State Park (I actually just drove by their tower yesterday). One of the best FM signals in Wisconsin. About 115 miles from me.
A little tropo will often bring WSJM Benton Harbor, MI across the big pond. Have also heard WDKB De Kalb, IL and WVIK East Lansing, MI (now WMMQ).

I get HD hash from 94.7 WXBK Newark, NJ, which makes DXing very difficult on that frequency.
DX/Retro: In the 1990's, I once received WXTK West Yarmouth, MA during tropo. I don't remember which year, but it was before WXTK moved to 95.1 in 1997.

I should have mentioned as a "retro" entry picking up WINZ-FM Miami in the 1980s on E-skip openings. I had an outdoor FM antenna then, which I often used to pick up St. Louis' KSHE at 94.7. On quite a few late spring or summer days, my listening would be interrupted by something coming up at 94.9. It definitely wasn't what was then KCEZ from Kansas City. When I heard an overenthusiastic DJ call out, "I-95!", I knew it was WINZ-FM, playing the hits (which KSHE definitely did NOT do!). The audio processing on WINZ was memorable as well, pretty much no dynamic range and a touch of reverb.
Central Kansas:
Fair to clear signal from KNCK/Concordia. Never really have picked up KCMO/Shawnee in the past from my location, as you have to go roughly 60 miles before it starts coming in. (Both run at 100,000 watts.)
North Iowa:
Depending on how your antenna is pointed, it’s either a fair to somewhat weak KCPI/Albert Lea, or a weak KGGO/Des Moines.

Interesting mix of stations here in Charleston. Usually gets stepped on by local WSSX on 95.1, but DX comes in frequently.
WVCO Loris SC with their unique beach music format is the most frequent, then WPMX Millen GA as a Statesboro rimshot. Florida comes in a couple times a year with WWRM Tampa, Magic. That was the first Tampa station I heard here. Rarer is the Miami signal on that frequency.
WSLC Roanoke is a surprisingly frequent signal at close to 300 miles. Usually a couple times a year. It doesn’t quite have the range of WSLQ on 99.1, but it packs a punch because it has such a wide open frequency to the south. I don’t think North Carolina has any full powers on 94.9.

In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, it's W235AA, the translator re-broadcasting Temple University's WRTI from Philadelphia through WRTY, according to FCCdata.org. It's been on since the early 90's and had used to listen to the station when they were playing mainly jazz music at the time. However, in recent years another translator from Scranton has signed on re-broadcasting Spanish music WAZL, which can also be heard on 95.3 in my area. It's W235DC. There are interference between the two translators in certain parts of the city, despite being within the city-grade reception of the WRTI translator, but once you get on Rt. 309 going towards the arena and the mall area, the interference became much worse and the Scranton translator easily overtakes our WRTI translator. Fortunately, I can get the WRTI translator at my house interference free.
Here is our local WRTI translator(W235AA)
And here is the WAZL Scranton Translator(W235DC)
You can see that the Scranton translator is directing towards Lackawanna County pointing eastward and not towards Luzerne County. So I have no idea why that Scranton translator can still be heard throughout parts of Wilkes-Barre, but much worse along Rt. 309 near the mall area. There is no reason for that translator to broadcast on the same frequency as WRTI's, it should have been moved to, like 95.1, for instance.

I have never been able to receive WJJF during a tropo opening. Perhaps my TEF6686 radio can receive it when strong tropo conditions return later this year.
