Tampa FM report - Dale Mabry Highway near RJ Stadium - 9/13/2009

I recently stayed at a hotel on Dale Mabry Highway, near Raymond James Stadium, this past weekend. Yes, I was there for the Cowboys vs Buccaneers game. Anyways, here what I picked up with my Panasonic AM/FM/CD "Walkman":

88.5 WMNF Tampa (Jazz) poor
89.1 W--- (Inspirational) [Joy FM] poor
89.7 WUSF Tampa (NPR) excellent
91.1 W--- Moody River, FL poor
91.7 W--- poor
92.1 W--- (Inspirational) [Reach FM] poor
92.5 W--- (Spanish) [Maxima FM] fair
93.3 WFLZ (CHR) [93.3-FLZ] excellent
94.1 WLLD Lakeland (Hip Hop) [Wild 94.1] fair
95.3 W--- West Tampa (Inspirational) [Joy FM] excellent
95.7 W--- (Urb. Cont.) [95.7 The Beat] excellent
97.1 W--- (Active Rock) [97X] fair
97.9 WXTB Clearwater (ROCK) [98 ROCK] excellent
98.7 WSJT (Jazz) fair
99.5 WQYK Saint Petersburg (Country) excellent
100.7 W--- (A/C) [Mix 100.7] fair
101.5 W--- (A/C) [101.5 The Point] excellent
102.5 W--- (ROCK) [102.5 The Bone] poor
103.5 WFUS Gulfport (Country) [US 103.5] fair
104.7 WRVQ Tampa (Classic Hits) [Q 105] excellent
105.5 WDUV (A/C) [105.5 The Dove] excellent
106.5 WCTQ (Country) poor
107.3 WXGL Saint Petersburg (Classic Hits) [107.3 The Eagle]

A couple of these stations actually came in after I put my "Walkman" on CITY mode. I was on the second floor of a motel, if that helps. My headphone cord, which is technically the antenna here, was bundled up.

These two stations recently switched frequencies. I'm sure CBS doesn't want to hear that reception of both stations is just "fair" after the move!

Also, WCTQ is based in Sarasota, which may explain why reception was "poor" in Tampa. I wonder if you were able to pull in WSRZ on 107.9, also in Sarasota. Their signal is pretty much hit-or-miss in Tampa, despite being in Sarasota.
 
WCTQ's tower is the old 600' WDUV-FM tower just north or Palmetto...and before they were sold by the Nelson's and they moved to Tampa (Riverview)...

WSRZ's tower is actually in Coral Cove, which is south of Sarasota proper...
