What can you receive on 99.1 FM?
From Vermilion, OH that would normally be WFRO/Fremont, OH 'Eagle 99'. However that station has been off the air since Monday due to technical problems. As a result it has become a great DXing frequency and I have picked up, so far, the following:
WFMK/Lansing, MI 'The station you hear everywhere!'
WHKO/Dayton, OH 'K 99.1'
WGGE/Parkersburg, WV 'Froggy 99'
WRKW/Edensburg, PA 'Rocky 99'

From Warminster PA:
Either hash from Philly's Power 99(WUSL 98.9) or WAWZ from Somerset NJ. Also picked up
WPLR from CT a few times.

99.1 is pretty much empty in Schenectady, NY... decent frequency for looking for tropo/E-skip  |

From Coldwater, MI-
Usually WFMK East Lansing, MI.
Less often-
WSMK- Buchanan, MI- Rhythmic CHR- Smokin' 99.1- I've heard high school stations that sound better than this one. It's all South Bend has now.
WFRO- Fremont, OH- AC/Eagle 99- I liked this one better in their live and local days, but oh well.
Summer tropo-
WMYX- Milwaukee, WI- Blasts into Michigan during lake enhancement. I've heard this one stepping on WSMK within 10 miles of their tower site!
WHKO- Dayton, OH- Country/K-99- Being one of OH's biggest signals, it's not as common as it should be.
Buckeye,
You should try for CJAM from Windsor or CKXS from Wallaceburg. CKXS should be doable in your location with WFRO being gone. I've yet to hear them here, but I have received CJAM one time with a weak signal.

This is a good DX freq in Carthage-Watertown, NY.
When tropo conditions are decent I usually pull in CHRI from Ottawa or WAAL from Binghamton, NY. When tropo is good over Lake Ontario I pull in CBLA from Toronto.

Here in Rochester, it's IBOC hash from local WBZA 98.9. Pre-IBOC, we'd sometimes hear Toronto (the old CKO and later CBLA) when the trop was up in that direction.

Not really anything here. We're too far east for WFRO, when it is on. Eastern parts of the area get splash from CC's WMXY/98.9 Youngstown.

WLZL "El Zol" in Annapolis, MD, about 45 miles east of me; it plays Spanish tropical music. Back in the 80s, it used to be progressive rocker WHFS.
