How far west does 99.7 the Blitz come in before WDKF 99.9 starts causing interference and vise versa? As far as 103.9, on a trip to Cincinnati, I remember getting interference from WXEG starting in Madison County on I-71.

I think 99.7 is usually listenable until roughly the east side of Springfield. Back when they were WMGG I recall one of their jocks recounting how quickly their signal drops off going west. Can't recall for sure if that was before or after they moved to the Twin Rivers tower.
How well does 95.5, 107.1 and 107.9 come in headed west?
95.5 does OK to the west but it's sandwiched between WZLR 95.4 and WHIO-FM 95.7. It is sometimes receivable in Dayton. 107.1, not too well west of 270 and 107.9 gets taken over by WMMX on 107.7 around London
I'm not exactly "to the west," but I am Northwest (western Union county.)
Everything on the Dispatch tower (92.3, 94.7, 96.3, 99.7) comes in decent here. 92.3 loses it's "enhanced stereo" sound however. 93.3 actually comes in better than anything on the Dispatch tower. 95.5 is pretty fringe around here. It get's killed by 95.3 out of Kenton and 95.7 out of Piqua. 97.9 is probably the best of all of the Columbus stations in signal strength. 98.9 is hit and miss. 100.3 actually comes in really well considering how far away I am from them. 101.7 comes in well. 102.5 is hit and miss. 103.9 comes in alright. 104.3 is the most powerful, seeing how I can stand at the top of my driveway and see it's tower. 105.7 is hardly listenable. 106.7 comes in well. 107.5 gets killed by WZRX 107.5 out of Lima. And last but not least, 107.9 comes in very well considering it's weak signal. I guess being a little to the north helps with 100.3, 101.7, 106.7 and 107.9.
I am kind of lucky in a sense because I can get stations from all over where I live. I get stations out of Columbus, some out of Dayton, some out of Lima, most out of Mansfield, and even ones in between all of them. Drive too close to the 104.3 tower and a lot of the stations disappear for about a mile.

Pre 80-90, you could be in Beavercreek, Ohio and get all the Dayton stations, the larger Columbus stations and the larger Cincinnati stations (102.7 had issues with Springfield's 102.9). Of course things are a bit different now
98.9 WJKR - with that callsign, the name '98.9 the Joker' keeps coming to mind.
