FM Frequency of the Week: 97.1

Wilmington Delaware

Normally an open frequency - just some spatter from W245CJ on 96.9 which is 3 miles to my NE. However with the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean just to my SE, Delmarva stations make frequent appearances and WAVD 'The Wave' in Ocean Pines MD is one of them. Some nights it isn't there, some nights it's weak, others it in like a local. Good station playing classic hits from the 70's and 80's.
 
97.1 honestly we don't know yet in DFW. Was formerly 97.1 The Freak, a guy orientated talk station. Speculations are going to a rock format again.

Hartland, VT:

WZRT Rutland, CHR "Z-97.1"

Meriden, CT:

Nothing.

When I think of Meriden, I think of the rest area in the area on 91 North. It used to be the last place I could receive some of the NYC stations including Hot 97 before getting into Hartford but I believe it was higher elevation, with the mountain there.
 
Denver, CO -
Nothing, caught between 96.9 K245CM (see last week's FOTW) and 97.3 KBCO Boulder.

There are no full-power stations on 97.1 anywhere close to me.
 
This is a fun one for me, because I'm about to change it. Sometime this week if all goes well, I'll finish a project that will move silent translator W298CH in Rochester from 107.5 to 97.1, using a new site I'm building on the tallest rooftop downtown.

The new translator will seamlessly replace WEPL-LP, which runs a Spanish hits format as "Poder 97.1" - only now the signal will be much bigger.

The WEPL-LP license, in turn, moves to 98.5 after the dust settles.

When it's not on the air for whatever reason, CIGL ("Mix 97") from across the lake in Belleville, Ontario owns the frequency.
 
Greenville, SC -

97.1 W246CV Spartanburg (translator for WORD [AM]), “97.1 and 97.7 The Fan Upstate”

I lived closer to the Wallingford line, lower elevation. I'd get several Long Island FMs, but none from NYC. Driving a few miles south on I-91, WSKQ would start interfering with WUCS on 97.9, though.
 
North Iowa:
Formerly a weak KUEL-LP/Kensett, which operated from late 2013/early 2014 until the license was turned in in January ‘23. Currently, it is a blank frequency locally, though KTCZ/Minneapolis likely sneaks in on occasion.

Central Kansas:
Good signal from KBOB-FM/Haven, which has been back on-air full-time one full year next month.
 
Tyler, TX.

Rock station KEGL Fort Worth with a fair to good signal. Sure pleased to hear it back to rockin'.
 
In Charleston 97.1 is usually hash from the local on 96.9 WIWF because of their HD signal. But I’ve heard other signals there before. Gainesville, GA (The River) is by far the best Atlanta FM signal and I hear them at least 2-3 times a summer here, more before the HD came on 96.9.

Also a little station on the coast of Florida down by Melbourne, WOSN, and WQMG Greensboro came in from time to time.
