FM Frequency of the Week - 97.3 MHz

[Buckeyes2001]

What do you all get on 97.3 FM?

In Vermilion, OH it is usually a scratchy WJZE/Oak Harbor, OH with Hip-Hop that targets the Toledo area but with a rimshot signal. Sometimes I'll also get WKWK/Wheeling, WV

In Bellevue, WA it's KIRO in Tacoma with news/talk. It also has reached Wapato, WA, Pacific Beach, WA and Portland, OR (last month, CBS News at TOH over KYCH IBOC).

It's a first adjacent to a local class C, so all I ever get is splatter.

 

[DXingRadio]

Usually Harrisburg, PA's "The River" WRVV here in central Maryland. Once in awhile southern New Jersey's "ESPN 97.3" WENJ-FM if conditions are right.

Only during tropo I get WRNW Milwaukee. Otherwise, I get splatter from 1st adjacent WDRV Chicago.

 

[FreddyE1977]

In Pittsburgh it's Wheeling's WKWK. Pretty solid signal too.

 

[Darth_vader]

Sideband of KYCH. I'd like to still be able to say that it's the sideband of KKSN, but that probably ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

In Harvest, AL, we get a translator for WQXD-LP, located in Athens, AL. Seems to me the translator has a bigger signal than the originating station!

This is the first translator I've heard of for a low-power FM, by the way.

In suburban Rochester NY it's a tossup between two big signals 75 miles away in opposite directions: WYXL Ithaca NY to the southeast, CHBM ("Boom") Toronto to the northwest. I can usually clear up either of them depending which way I have the rooftop antenna pointed.

 

[RyanHoward]

Here in Warminster, PA(Philadelphia area), it's usually splatter from local 97.5 WPEN-FM("The Fanatic"). Sometimes in
good conditions, Millville NJ(WENJ, ESPN Radio) or Harrisburg(WRVV, "The River") would come in.

 

[Lawppy]

Here in Coldwater, MI it's mostly WMEE from Fort Wayne, IN. A bit north and west of town, you begin to get translator W247AM from Kalamazoo.

 

[KyleSmith1988]

From Gaffney SC...Weak signal from WKBC in North Wilkesboro NC.
Sometimes WCOS (Columbia SC) or W246BU (Spartanburg SC) can bleed into 97.3 west and south of town.
During tropo I lose WKBC and get either WAEV (Savannah GA) or WMNX (Wilmington NC).

 

[Tim from Springfield IL]

Springfield, IL: Mostly WTIM Taylorville, IL (talk) with traces of WFYR Elmwood, IL/Peoria ("River Country") sprinkled in mainly in the northern, western, and central parts of the city.
