What would you get with locals off?

I'd be interested to hear how far the South Central MI translators/class A's would carry to the east if, say, most or all of the Detroit stations (especially 94.7, 95.5, 96.3, 97.1, 100.3, 101.1) were to go off the air. Coldwater's WTVB 1590 has a 250 watt xltr (W238CD) on 95.5, which carries up to US-127 even in non-tropo conditions. It would be cool to hear how far 95.5 would go. Would it make it all the way to Detroit's western suburbs or would it eventually get swallowed up by other distant class A's (Cleveland, Lancaster, etc.)

>> ' ......95.5, 96.3, 97.1, 97.9, etc. are apparently part of the main band as stations in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are on these frequencies.....' <<

Yessir. Add Detroit and (for the most part) DC/Baltimore to that sequence.

And iIrc, the VHF stations in those markets ran 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. Some mileage may vary.

And there are a few other markets which follow a good part of that radio sequence, such as Las Vegas (92.3-93.1, 95.5-97.1, 101.9-105.1, 107.5), Salt Lake City (96.3-104.3 inclusive, and a docket had it extending all the way to 107.5), and Dallas-Fort Worth (96.3-101.1, 107.5)

Portland, OR with a few exceptions, (103.3, 104.1).

Nashville is pretty similar too, with 92.9, 95.5, 96.3, 97.1, 97.9, 99.7, 100.1, 101.1, 102.5, 102.9, 103.3, 104.5, 105.9, 106.7, 107.5
 
Cincinnati, OH partially has it, too. 100.3 through 105.9, but 106.7 and 107.5 as well if you count class A's from Northern Kentucky.
