observations and scans from a recent road trip

I just got back from a 4 day trip to Oregon and here are some observations,

1. In Eugene I was surprised the G8 couldn't pull in any Portland stations. I did have KWJJ and KKRZ on briefly in the car as I was going up from 94.5 to 102.3, but nothing even picked up on the scan from Portland in Eugene even though Portland sounded pretty clear.

2. Salem here's a full scan,

88.1 unid Air1.
88.3 Catholic station out of Portland that I can't remember the calls, something like KPPV?
88.7 KZRI/Sandy, OR

89.1 KMHD/Gresham, OR

89.5KPFR/Pine Grove, OR.

89.9 KQAC/Portland, OR.
90.3 KXPC/Welches, OR.

95.3 KUJZ/Cresswell, OR.
95.5 KBFF/Portland, OR.
95.9 KXPC's Portland relayer weak.
96.3 Salem relayer of KRKT.
97.1 KYCH/Portland, OR.
97.5 unid Spanish.
97.9 KLVP/Aloha, OR.
98.3 possible new record? KEYW/Richland, WA. My previous record was KDUK/Florance, OR in Edmonds, WA.
98.7 KUPL/Portland, OR.
99.1 KODZ/Eugene, OR/KUJ/Burbank, WA.
99.5 KWJJ/Portland, OR.
99.9 KRKT/Albany, OR.
100.3 KKRZ/Portland, OR.
100.7 unid strong local, playing mostly progressive rock with a little jazz.
101.1 KXL/Portland, OR.
101.5 KFLY/Corvallis, OR.
101.9 KINK/Portland, OR.
102.3 KEHK/Brownsville, OR.
102.5 unid KAWZ translator.
102.7 KYTE/Newport, OR.
102.9 KXTG's Portland translator.
103.3 KKCW/Beaverton, OR.
103.7 KNRQ/Harrisburg, OR mixed with Tailgate out of Portland.
104.1 KFIS/Skapus, OR.
104.5 K283BL/Beaverton, OR one of the few translator calls I know off the top of my head.
104.7 KDUK/Florance, OR strong.
105.1 KRSK/Molala, OR.
105.3 KONA-FM/Richland, WA.
105.5 KEUG/Veneta, OR.
105.9 KFBW/Vancouver, WA.
106.3 KLOO/Albany, OR.
106.7 KLTH/Lake Oswigo, OR.
107.1 KLVU/Sweet Home, OR.
107.5 KXJM/Banks, OR.
107.9 KHPE/Albany, OR. I also feel like I'm missing a few stations, mainly 91.9 can't remember what I had there, and can't remember if I had K224DL on 92.7.
3. Other miscelaneous catches and observations, Eugene had a very distorted 95.7 playing Spanish music. In Corvallis I had an unid 94.9 playing what sounded like AAA with Eugene's KPPV simulcast underneath. I also had something strong on 102.9, thought the ID said KIPK. It sounded like it was playing R&B. Also had KNCU and KPPT in. I also had somethig strong on both 88.7 and 91.3 that I wasn't able to ID. I wasn't expecting much out of Hillsburrow but had a few surprises including an unid CSN on 105.5, and a station playing real oldies on 100.7, likely KQRZ-LP, but no IDs. I also had an unid Air1, which was the strongest Air1 in that area. Also, could someone please help me with the AM stations I posted about last week?
 
More knife edge reflecting I see. Mt. Hood is likely reflecting the Pasco signals. I heard KEYW, KFAE, KEGX and KUJ in Shelton WA a couple of years ago thanks to Mt. Rainier.
From Salem, KEYW/KUJ/KONA are right at 200 miles.
88.1 was likely KWAO Ocean Park WA (Capitol Peak transmitter).
88.3 is KBVM.
94.9 maybe KTEE Coos Bay? "The Tee"
In Eugene, 102.9 has a KUGN 590 translator. Likely what you had.
88.7 probably KBVR Corvallis OR.
102.5 is K273AJ Elwood OR, repeating KAWZ-89.9 Twin Falls ID.
105.5 is K288FT Portland repeating KAWZ again. When I was last in Portland (Gresham actually) in 2012, 105.5 was a equal mess of K288FT and KUKN in Longview.

100.7 is K264AA, repeating 88.5 KMUZ Turner OR.
91.3 may have been KGTS Walla Walla - did it sound like Christian music? Doesn't seem to be anything on 91.3 around Portland, Eugene, etc. due to KOPB/KWAX and their IBOC sidebands.

Thanks for 100.7, but no on 91.3. I didn't get a good sampling of the music, but this signal was far too strong, sounded like a local.
