Nothing but mixed splatter from Local 99.5 and 99.9

 

[RyanHoward]

Warminster PA:
Usually hash from WJBR 99.5(Wilmington DE) and 99.9 the Hawk(Easton PA). The only 99.7
I have gotten here was probably WYFI from Norfolk VA, a religious station. I have never gotten
the Tuckerton NJ station here.

 

[MR5229]

In the San Francisco Bay Area, the station on 99.7 is KMVQ (CHR/Rhythmic) which is a local station.

 

[RadioDaze]

In Durham, North Carolina, if we hear anything on 99.7 FM, it's usually WYFI in Norfolk, Virginia (a BBN affiliate) or, WRFX in Kannapolis, NC.

We used to have a class A station in the region on 99.7, WZAX in Nashville, NC, from 1997 to 2005, which moved to 99.3 when what is now WCMC 99.9 FM relicensed from Chase City, Va., to Creedmoor, NC. WCMC's now licensed to Holly Springs, NC.

 

[Darth_vader]

KWJJ's (99.5 MHz) sideband.

 

[musicman3355]

Nothing in the LA area, but have gotten XHTY Tijuana before via tropo.

 

[MarioMania]

99.7 KMVQ for me

 

[Mid West Clubber]

I usually get sidebands from 99.5 and 99.9,, Location,, 30 miles south of indianapolis.. if conditions are right I usually get Shine 99 in Frankfort Indiana, or WDJX Lousiville,, one time about 12 years age I picked up 99.7 Kiss FM from Spriongfield illinois,, but only that one time.. Thats me only logged catches on 99.7,, its pretty hard to DX on 99.7,, the hash from 99.5 and 99.9 is pretty severe.

Northern VA:

It's IBOC hash both from WHTE 99.5 in DC, 23 miles to the northeast and WFRE 99.9 from Frederick, MD and 40 miles to the north. During tropo openings, I could get the Norfolk's Bible Broadcasting Network 99.7 frequently before the HD radio starts causing interference. Now, it's when the tropo signal from WYFI is strong enough to come out of the IBOC. One E skip opening brought me WJMI 99.7 from Jackson, MS.
On I-95 just NE of Baltimore, I once heard WYFI while driving.

 

[gr8oldies]

Dayton OH when you could get past WLQT on 99.9 would net Columbus' Blitz. Sometimes Paulding, WDJX or Shine 99.

 

[BRNout]

From near Gurnee, IL, I often pull in a weak signal from WZDR Sturgeon Bay, WI (the Drive). Great signal, as their tx site is about 170 miles away from me.

 

[dx1ng]

Here in Poughkeepsie,NY I have strong semi-local WJUX Monticello, NY "The Bridge" formerly "Jukebox Radio".

DX on 99.7:

WOOF Dothan, AL Woof FM
WJKD Vero Beach, FL Jack FM - most distant on 99.7 at 1038 miles.
WBHX Tuckerton, NJ The Breeze
WBGK Newport Village, NY Bug Country with WJUX off the air
WSKO Wakefield, RI The Score with WJUX off the air
WYFI Norfolk, VA BBN with WJUX off the air

 

[Mid West Clubber]

I dont usually DX on freqs that have alot of bleedover, I try to use either Weak channels,,, Waiting for a co channel to boom in, or an open freq with no sidebands.

 

[WBIMDJ]

Here in Boston it's mostly IBOC hash from rimshot 99.5 WCRB and RF interference from downtown local FM's.

 

[RedWingCJS278]

I'll second WBIMDJ, although on occasion I do hear traces of 99.7 from Providence on my car radio, just north of Boston.

 

[WBIMDJ]

I'll second WBIMDJ, although on occasion I do hear traces of 99.7 from Providence on my car radio, just north of Boston.

This is true, especially during tropo..

 

[tomservo]

From Grenada, Mississippi... A decent radio will consistently net two different stations. Orient the antenna vertically and Hip-hop WJMI is a semi-regular from Jackson, 100 miles south. Orient the antenna horizontally, and in comes Hot AC WMC from Memphis, 100 miles north.

WJMI is about 98 kw at 1000 feet. WMC is ~300 kw horizontal at ~900 feet.

 

[charlestondxman]

A local is here at 99.7, WXST. It has one of the most powerful signals in the Lowcountry, and can be heard in a 60 mile radius of Charleston. It is always in the top three or four in the local ratings.

Until about six or seven years ago, they were out of Port Royal, SC, and boomed a clear signal all throughout the Charleston and Savannah areas. It even had listeners down at the northern end of Florida (around Fernandina Beach).
