FM Frequency of the week - 99.1

[ddsparxx]

Believe it or not, I have never heard WSLQ in northern VA despite its huge, monster 150 kW signal, not even in tropo conditions.

From Coldwater, MI-

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.

I can now add the following:
CJAM - Windsor, ON
CBC Radio 1 - Toronto, ON
...also, this Sunday morning, I was briefly picking up a station playing Bluegrass music!
Haven't yet been able to identify reception of CKXS

Congrats on your Windsor and Toronto catches! I heard Toronto on 99.1 while visiting Cleveland a few years ago, but this was during some intense lake enhancement. Getting them in the middle of February is pretty impressive! I've yet to log that one in my location, but I have received 94.1 (CBL).

Windsor is a great catch too! I've (barely) logged CJAM, but I had to fight to get it. WFMK is a very strong semi-local here and it takes a lot to null them!

My only guess for the bluegrass is WGGE from Parkersburg, WV.

If you want to try for something really awesome, you should go for WSLQ from Roanoke! Your bearing would go right through Parkersburg to get there, but at 150kw and 2000 feet, it could make it into your location! I've heard a few 100kw stations from 300+ miles even during dead-band conditions! And most of them faded up over closer stations (300 miles over 100-150 miles) Just wait for WGGE to completely disappear and listen for an AC station to fade up.

In Durham, North Carolina, 99.1 FM these days is Morrisville-licensed W256AX, a translator of Franklinton-licensed WRTP 88.5 FM (contemporary Christian-formatted His Radio).  There was once a WRTP translator in Creedmoor on 99.1, W256AH, but I think that is silent now since a city of license move and signal improvements to WRTP made it redundant.  If we hear anything else here on 99.1, it's usually either Whiteville, NC hip hop station WZFX Foxy 99 or Roanoke, VA AC WSLQ Q-99.

Other 99.1's I've logged include:

WVOD, Manteo, NC
KRYS, Corpus Christi, TX
KODA, Houston, TX
KEEZ, Mankato, MN
WIKB, Iron River, MI
WKFX, Rice Lake, WI
KXKC, New Iberia, LA

From S of Worcester MA I get a good 99.1 WPLM about 45-50 mi.   Great line of sight.
Go 15 mi W and WPLM battles it out w/ classic rocker WPLR New Haven Ct.

In Yakima, it's KUJ Walla Walla, WA (CHR).
