KDWB 101.3-HD2 Minneapolis + 102.5 translator is AWESOME!

I'm in Minnesota this week and I was tuning around the HD radio stations. Stumbled upon KDWB-HD2 "The Party Zone" and I love the music they play. They have a locally-programmed dance format (they're not using the Club Phusion feed from iHeartRadio since the music isn't the same on 101.3-HD2 and iHeartRadio's Club Phusion channel.)

They also have an FM translator for KDWB-HD2 on 102.5 in downtown Minneapolis, since I heard them also ID the translator in the legal ID. The translator only has 41 watts but appears to cover downtown Minneapolis well.

Minneapolis has a dance station! Let's hope it stays dance when they upgrade its power to 250 watts. I can't receive this HD2 translator where I am 25 miles north of Minneapolis, but 101.3-HD2 comes in well with few dropouts (the HD signals on these 100000 watt class C's can be heard pretty far away!)
 
I love discovering new dance stations we don't know about whether by traveling or DXing. I'm sure there must be more HD2 dance stations we don't know about.

All I get on 102.5 is a weak KQIC, so I don't know whether the translator is on.

Didn't Minneapolis used to have a pirate dance station in the past?
 
Wikipedia mentions KDWB-HD2 and its translator, plus I am hearing dance music with my own ears on 101.3-HD2
 
There was a station on 102.5 in Minneapolis broadcasting dead air. Perhaps that was the translator. 101.3-HD2 was commercial free the entire time I was listening. Just wish it streamed so I could hear it back home.
