Not open for further replies.
WLRQ - Lite Rock 99.3 in Cocoa FL usually overshadows this frequency here in Melbourne FL

Other possiblities have been:

WQIK Jacksonville FL 99-1-QIK Country 2017

WEDR Miami FL 99 Jams Rap, hiphop 2016

WWOJ Avon Park-Sebring…. FL OJ99.1 Country 2010

kw - Melbourne FL
 
A weak, but listenable KNES Fairfield, Texas "Texas 99.1". It is a hometown local mom & pop country outlet, about 66 air miles from my QTH in Tyler. Signed on in 1985, and has remained with the same format and branding since facility sunrise.
 
Hartland, VT
W256CW Rutland, translator for WRVT (88.7) Rutland, a Vermont Public (no "Radio" anymore, grrrr) news/talk network affiliate.

Meriden, CT
WPLR New Haven, classic rock.
 
East Tennessee: WNML-FM, Friendsville TN. Driving around Sevierville, I've occasionally picked up something else, which I suspect is WJNV, Jonesville VA. WRJZ moved a translator to Sevierville which covered WNML, but that was quickly resolved.

Retro/other: Dayton, OH. The big signal of WHKO.
 
Wilmington Delaware

Normally some splatter from WUSL 98.9 in Philadelphia. However lurking just to my SW is WDCH Bloomberg Business Radio in Bowie MD. It's transmitter is midway between Baltimore and DC and with the slightest bit of summer humidity it comes in quite well.
 
99.1 at my location is WMYX out of Milwaukee, It's stronger than the other Milwaukee FM signals here in Chicago's northwest suburbs because their stick is southwest of the city. Or at least it used to be.
 
No 99.1 in Columbus because of local WTOH next door on 98.9, but WHKO is the nearest such signal. As I mentioned in the 98.9 thread, its signal still can be received in far southwestern Franklin County despite WTOH's digital hash. It's a considerably tougher proposition now than in the analog days, but it's possible.
 
Goofy frequency here and elsewhere. Up at some high-elevation dump near Shenandoah the car radio got Binghampton NY and New Haven CT.
Usually the house regular is a weakish but steady WRTI Philly translator from a big hill south of Pottsville. One day (when the station was all-jazz) I tuned them in, and the usual female midday gal was doing her thing -- except she kept saying 'Jazz 99'.
No! You can't say that! Parent WRTI is on 90.1 ! Then she took requests, though, giving the phone numbers for Dade and Broward counties.

Way back on Long Island, well into one super-foggy morning, we were trying for the huge AoR WPLR New Haven, across the Sound by some 25 miles. I thought the station there, though, was saying 'WNAB', and musing 'That's awfully close to New Haven for a Bridgeport station to have an FM station. Wrong again, Green. It was WNAV-FM, Annapolis. (That facility later moved to Bowie MD and became all-news to hit both DC and Baltimore, but it flopped.)
Another freaky, foggy morning on Long Island I heard a Star Spangled Banner blast off in the clear at 6AM. WPLM Plymouth Mass signed on. All by itself.
 
Albuquerque, NM
Seems to be a pirate. Uncensored hip hop.
But appears to originate in my area. Travel 2 or 3 miles in any direction and it fades to static.
Outside of my neighborhood sometimes get a very weak KXMT from Taos, NM on the car radio.

Enhanced reception conditions brought "Easy 99.1" WPLM to my car radio one recent afternoon here in eastern Vermont, about 60 miles north of the Massachusetts line. No trace of WPLR.

Once in a while Star 99.1 does come in but it’s very weak.
