FM Frequency of the Week - 97.5 MHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 97.5 FM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is semi-local WONE/Akron, OH with a rock format. Once in a while when tropo is up across Lake Erie, 'Virgin Radio' CIQM from London, ON (CHR) will interfere or even take over the frequency in extreme cases.
 
Akron, Ohio

97.5 WONE Akron, OH - I'm way too close to the transmitter. You can hear a faint noise from this station in my overloaded speakers. It's ridiculous.
 
In Marysville, WA 97.5 is blank, IBOC from KIRO, and splatter from KOMO 97.7. Never have caught Tr or Es here.
In Yakima WA 97.5 is KOLW Basin City which just flipped to Rhythmic CHR...
On the Washington Coast, 97.5 was mainly KOMO splatter but I did hear KSHL Gleneden Beach OR with country music during tropo.
Forgot about Portland, I think I may have caught KSHL (gotta check my bandscans!)

In portions of NW Indiana (mainly Gary, East Chicago, Whiting, & Hammond on the Indiana side, & nearby suburbs surrounding the city of Chicago, I typically pick up W248BB Hillside, IL (transmits at 250 watts from the Sears Tower), which broadcasts ESPN Deportes from WNUA 95.5 HD-2, though EMF owns the translator, & would otherwise have K love on it.. On the outskirts of the Chicago market, & even in NW Indiana, it's still possible to get WZOK Rockford, IL, WHMS Champaign, IL, or WYTZ Bridgman, MI.
 
Here in northern VA, I get a semi-weak WLTF Martinsburg, WV and sometimes, weak WWWV Charlottesville, VA about 80 miles away. One Eskip opening brought me 97.5 from Tulsa, OK; I think it was country at that time; Radio-Locator says it'
s KMOD with a rock format.
 
From Coldwater, MI-

Semi-local WJIM Lansing, MI (CHR- Now FM) is in most of the time.

On my home DX set-up, I can also get
WYTZ- Bridgman, MI- Country
WZOK- Rockford, IL- CHR- 97ZOK
WONE- Akron, OH- Rock
CBEW- Windsor, ON- Public Radio/CBC Radio One
WTGR- Union City, OH- Country- Tiger Country
 
In Derby, UK, I get Kemet FM, a Black community station from Nottingham (about 15 miles away). Only 25w but easily audible on a decent radio.
 
In the Portland area, currently nothing on 97.5. In the mid valley (Salem area), sometimes you can get KSHL on the central Oregon Coast with a Country format. There is a CP for K248BS in Newberg (between Portland and Salem) which will carry Air1 in the near future. KSHL will move to 97.7 and relocate to Coburg, OR, now that 97.9 moved from Eugene to Portland.
 
Kenosha, WI- WZOK Rockford, IL is most common, although the ESPN Deportes translator on the Sears Tower (I refuse to call it the Willis Tower) is a pest.

Summer skip usually brings WYTZ Bridgman, MI.
 
In Charleston (along with most of the state of SC) WCOS, the 100kw country signal from Columbia comes in. Probably in 90% of the time. In Athens, Ohio, WQBE Charleston, WV comes in, another country station.
 
Allendale, MI: WWSN Whitehall most commonly, WJIM Lansing comes in once in a while
Manistee, MI: mostly WKLT Kalkaska, WTAQ Glenmore, WI has made it in a few times (local 97.7 in Manistee)
