I picked up WKPT in my motel room

This is pretty amazing. I wasn't aware of an oldies station in the area but I was getting a fuzzy signal which seemed to be interfering with WMUU at 94.5, a station that has come in really well over the past several years.

And I'm not talking about 1590. I have picked up that station where I go in the mountains, but it was probably a different motel where the power lines don't cause so many problems. But the radio I have now won't pick up anything above 1400 or below 92 FM.

To understand the significance of this, at the motel where I stay now, the only Tri-Cities station with a dependable signal is WRZK. WQUT is fuzzy and I'm not even sure I'm picking it up half the time. WXBQ and WTFM are usually non-existent. WVEK has a listenable signal. None of the Greenville-area stations except WTPT have a really good signal. The Asheville FMs are strong, though.
 
They do have a translator @ 94.3 in Kingsport and one on Johnson City @ 97.7. Could this have been it? On a side note I was traveling through the area yesterday and when we went by Wytheville
I tried listening to WYVE @ 1280 but the audio was so muddy I couldn't do it very long. The signal was good but just the audio sounded really bad.

But think about it. A translator. I listed all those stations I couldn't really pick up. And I left one out. Electric 94.9 had a fuzzy signal too.
 
WTPT has a monster signal. We listened to WTPT allot while at a cabin we stayed at in April not too far from Sevierville.

But this is about WKPT. I picked up WTPT as well, but that would be expected where I was.
