FM frequency of the week 97.1
- Thread starter Dxer1105
- Start date
In addition to WREO/Ashtabula, OH in my earlier post, I also get WXYT/Detroit, MI. These 2 stations usually are flip flopping on this frequency. Have also heard WBNS/Columbus, OH when tropo from the south is strong enough to overcome terrain issues between here and Columbus which normally block out stations from down there being heard here in Vermilion, OH.
Near Farmville, Virginia:
This is an interesting frequency for me. Nothing really all that strong is received on 97.1 near my home. There are a couple of fringe stations.
The closest is W246BZ in Crewe, a translator for Spirit FM.
However, the dominant station on 97.1 is WYND 97.1 from Hatteras, NC, at a distance of 170 miles. Always a strong signal here, for whatever reason.

97.1 The River is what I get
From Gary Indiana, I get WDRV Chicago all the time. Rarely does this station go off the air, since their antenna is on the AON building, rather than the Sears Tower or John Hancock for the other Chicago FM stations (including stations licensed to the suburbs, but have their antennas in Chicago). So little maintainance work is done on the Aon Building.
That would explain WDRV seems to have a weaker signal in outlying areas. At least that's how it's seemed to me when I visit friends and relatives in the far western suburbs (Naperville/Aurora area).
Here in Ohio, when I went to Put-in-Bay about a month ago WXYT pretty much owned the frequency from Norwalk on in. Was able to listen to several innings of a Tigers-Pirates game en route. Now when I was a bit east of there, in Avon, for a wedding last September, WREO owned the frequency with WBNS and WXYT occasionally biting in.
