I have been listening to WHFS on 105.7 out of Baltimore all night, like a local, what a fantastic format. They call themselves FREE-FM the RDS shows 105-7 HFS and names the tunes being played. Do they yak during the day like YSP and Rock nights and weekends, I never picked this station up before. If this is the same outfit that owns YSP, they should also put up title and artist on YSP, but the RDS just shows WYSP FREE-FM. HFS sounds a bit like Y-100 did but harder edged, now where is this format in Philly??? Also, there was a 106.7 coming in just as strong, never got an ID, it was automated, but called itself, the NEW MIX 106.7 with a AC format.
 
In lower Bucks we sometimes get HFS. I would say that HFS is what an alternative station is supposted to be like.
 
That's just funny, that ya'll picked up Baltimore's 105.7 up in the Philly Area. Yeah I know it's an E-SKIP or DX thing. (I'm not really into that stuff so I use those words as one in the same). Why it's funny is becuase I had trouble picking up this station in Baltimore proper when I was there in August 2002. Back then it was Hip-Hop X-105.7. Basically it was a carbon copy of sister station HOT 93.7 in Hartford, CT. The only difference was that 93.7 was (and still is) 18 Jams in a row, while 105.7 was 21 jams in a row. Actually 105.7 isn't licensed to Baltimore anyway. It's licensed to Catonsville.
 
WHFS, FreeFM Baltimore, includes Cecil County, MD in their primary coverage area.
The Klan is active in Cecil County.
Maybe KlassiKKounty (with three Ks) drove down for a cross-buring and listened on the radio in his pick-up truck.
 
Mix 106.7 is WMHX Hershey/Harrisburg, PA. They signed on June 30, 2005. They put out a great signal in the southcentral PA area. They've got to be one of the best signals in that area.

This time of the season with the heat and humidity, your getting the tropicspheric wave with VHF signals that bend at night. When I was living back there, I would get WPOC out of Baltimore real clearly and Washington University clollege station too. Enjoy it while you can.

For someone who cries foul when there's a personal attack, you're awfully good at inciting them.

FOCUS: HFS was originally a legendary DC station owned by Infinity. HFS was flipped to a spanish station a few years ago, and the HFS calls lay dormant until they were moved to Baltimore later on. (kind of like how the station in cleveland picked up the K-Rock and WXRK calls/imaging from 92.3 in NYC)

It actually made sense, because HFS-DC wasn't getting good books in No. Virginia, but doing well in the northern beltway region.

They are basically a combination of WJFK and WYSP... Junkies in the morning, Don and Mike in the afternoon, music at night.

For what it's worth, I have been REALLY enjoying the rock music that K-Rock/Free FM has been playing in NYC, it's VERY far-ranging. Although it's weird hearing Dan Neer of all people frontsell a freakin' Franz Ferdinand song.
