WMBI AM (now WXES) 1110 off the air

......Same thing on 107.1 RFM. WSPY took over the frequency. This pretty much confirms that the WXES translator W292GB is not on the air.
Interesting story. 107.1 will likely be a moot point for me. WNVR has a translator on 107.1 about four miles from my house. If they're off, WSPY comes in. I used to operate my whole house transmitter on 107.1, but that ended when WNVR's translator came on. Now I'm using 92.1. It;s like the mini WLIT, because when I start playing Christmas music on my Spotify and ITunes playlists, the neighbors tune in.
 
Weird things are happening on the WXES translator (W292GB) frequency of 106.3 FM. For the past couple days I am hearing a station on 106.3 FM relaying the programming of WPPN (106.7 FM). Same programming is being played on 107.1 FM.

The signal on both 106.3 and 107.1 appear to be about the same strength. I am not sure if the signal on 106.3 is from the WXES site in Addison, Illinois. FCC shows a license for W295CG Lake Bluff, IL on 107.1 FM and CP for the same translator (W295CG Lake Bluff, IL) on 106.9 FM. I am wondering if they are testing the 106.9 CP on 106.3 FM instead. Both 106.9 and 107.1 show the transmitter location as the tower near Dundee Rd and Arlington Heights Road intersection, which is the same location as the WPPN transmitter.

BTW, you have it backwards.. the license is for 106.9 with the CP for 107.1
 
You are correct.
