As I have previously mentioned, KHYY has been wanting to make the move for a while, but yesterday they officially made it happen. I have done some testing both today and yesterday in Cheyenne, WY(to eliminate the possibility of Tropo helping my results), and the 107.3 (100kw) facility seems to be really solid, and I got fairly consistent RDS out of it as well. Of course, it does have some reception weak spots around Cheyenne, but it overall does a great job for being 75 miles away.
For those of you who are wondering, yes "B107.3" from Fort Collins occasionally powers through, but KHYY is quite dominant otherwise. I would like to do more testing this winter to be sure, but as always, a Dxer must categorize any new station/frequency that they recieve. In my case, 107.3 gets the semi-local status because it is recieveable 24/7 with moderate strength, even without any assistance from tropo. However, the frequency being high up on the FM band will be great for Tropo as well.
From Cheyenne, my strongest Scottsbluff stations are, in order,
101.3 KOZY (moderate to strong)
107.3 KHYY (generally strong)
93.3 KMOR moderate strength, but often overtaken by Denver's KTCL.
94.1 KNEB (moderately weak until they move to their new facility)
99.3 KETT (generally fringe, however it steps up well during Tropo, and when it moves to 99.5, I should get a boost as well.
