Just S of Charleston, SC, 99.1 is a weird frequency. A lot of the time we get hash from our 250-watt translator at 99.3 and/or 98.9 Chick FM, but other times, and farther away from their transmitter it's a good DX frequency.
I usually get Jacksonville during the summer, but Barnwell's gospel station also comes in, and Foxy from NC comes in a lot also.

Nothing, really. 99.1's in between KUPL and KWJJ. If I am using a wide enough rig I can sometimes get a little bit of splatter off both, but nothing else beyond that.

I am now posting aircheck files and such on Youtube under https://youtube.com/user/oldradiotapes on an experimental basis.When downloading any of these files, please use only the type 22 (720-P) option when available, as it provides the highest-fidelity audio (MP4/192k AAC).

From near Gurnee/Libertyville, IL, 99.1 is a fairly strong (basically local) WMYX Milwaukee. Nothing else has a chance.

In Poughkeepsie, NY, we had a nearby translator on 99.1 (W256BI - Red Hook, NY) for the past year or two, but Jan 31 they moved to 105.9 to clear the way for new local WGNY-98.9, currently testing intermittently, regular programming announced to begin Feb 26. This leaves WPLR New Haven, CT dominant (53 miles), and also WAWZ Zarepath, NJ (88 miles). Neither is very potent, so 99.1 is quite DXable.
DX on 99.1 since 2003:
WQIK Jacksonville, FL
WEDR Miami, FL "99-Jams"
KXKC New Iberia,LA
WPLM Plymouth, MA "Easy 99.1"
KEEZ Mankato, MN "Z-99"
KLLZ Walker, MN
WYMK Greenwood, MS "Max 99"
WKNN Pascagoula, MS "K-99"
WAAL Binghamton, NY "The Whale"
WVOD Manteo, MC "The Sound"
KODA Houston, TX "Sunny, 99.1", most distant on 99.1 at 1471 miles.

Surprised no one has mentioned one of the most powerful FM's in the nation: WSLQ, Roanoke VA.

Oh yeah, I forgot about them. I picked up WSLQ one time, and one time only, in Charleston. They have a ridiculous signal.

In Gary Indiana, I can get either WMYX Milwaukee or WSMK Niles Michigan. It depends on which one is stronger at that moment. Since my area has no 98.9 or 99.3, it makes it easier for either of these stations to travel beyond the predicted coverage area.
