Repeating from the other thread....
99.7.....East Tennnessee. Urban and locally owned W259AV (WJBE). It covers most of the market. Being on top of a mountain does amazing things. The original WJBE was owned by the one and only James Brown, and the calls are an homage to that. Before this translator signed on, Nashville talker WWTN Hendersonville could make it in most days.
Retro/other: I worked at a 99.7, WSHW, Frankfort, IN, situated between Frankfort and Kokomo, Indiana. 50000 watts in order to move it away from Indianapolis for WIKS/WZPL. It's been recently sold. It had a good signal throughout Central and parts of Northern Indiana, but of course has been truncated. Owner Vern Kaspar licensed a bunch of translators, several of which he sold.

North Iowa:
Just out of range of KXFT/Manson, though KBEA/Muscatine will make a visit from time to time. (I believe KARZ/Marshall made an appearance at least once during tropo.)
Central Kansas:
Just out of range of KGHF/Belle Plaine. KZPT/KCMO tends to visit here from time to time.

99,7 WRFX Kannapolis/Charlotte's Fox!

Denver, CO - Spillover from local 99.5 KQMT ("The Mountain") on most radios.
At its narrowest bandwidth positions, the Qodosen DX-286 filters out the spillover, but there's nothing on 99.7 anywhere nearby anyway.

I usually get splatter from 99.5 WBAI New York, NY. However, I was able to receive WBHX Tuckerton, NJ and WYFI Norfolk, VA during tropo.
DX/Retro: On 06/21/2020, I received WOOF "99.7 WOOF-FM" Dothan, AL during e-skip. That station is 909 miles (1,464 km) away from me.

Central Kentucky:
WDJX Louisville with a CHR format. "99.7DJX".
Great signal and I've never heard anything else on this frequency, here.
Original calls were WCSN with a beautiful music format in the 60s and 70s.
In 1979 the format was flipped to Top 40 and the calls changed to WKJJ. They also occupied the 1080 frequency as "KJ 100 Stereo FM/AM".
They did a replay format where if you heard a song on the FM side, and you wanted to hear again, you flipped to the AM side a few minutes later. I think they called it Lateral Replay, or something like that.
It didn't last long and the AM flipped to country WCII "Country 11"" and had a fairly long run as a country outlet.
Sometime in the 90s the station flipped to its current format and calls.
