92.7- This is a 250 watt translator located on a tall tower atop some of the highest terrain in NE Indiana. This is a perfect mix for a freak translator reception. It's not impossible to hear this one 40 miles out even during the deadest of dead band conditions. They're more like a small class A!

95.5- Another 250 watter. As of right now, this is all there is on 95.5, but my local AM station (WTVB- 1590) has a construction permit also for 95.5. It's not a good spot for this station IMO, as Kendallville is just 33 miles away from the proposed translator site. It seems far enough, but the lake area in the southern part of the county may be prone to interference from K'ville.

95.7- A far better spot for the WTVB translator IMO.
