Sporadic E FM DX underway July 5, high MUFs east of here on DXMAP, paths starting to reach OK. Standard boilerplate applies about all times UT, my DXing methods, not counting station totals or anything, many likely if not absolutely IDed. Listings quoted from the excellent WTFDA FM Database. Distances are city-to-city, not site-to-site, approximate, from distancefromto.net FYI and do not imply a log is necessarily definite. I join on caradio in garage at 1807 UT. 92.1 at 1811, preacher atop rock et al., unlikely from my area. 94.5 at 1808, VG country music countdown at #20, VG to deep fades; by 1815 #21, so count up? Maybe WBYZ 100 kW, as below at 1838. 94.5 at 1817, ad with phone number 404-882-3558, seems not same as previous station. 404 is Atlanta GA area. The 94.5 in Atlanta itself is W233BF, a 166-watt translator of WWSZ 1420, but slogan Streetz 94.5, which also applies to two other 94.5s, including WIPK, the most powerful at 6 kW in Calhoun, which is more than halfway to Chattanooga to the NW of Atlanta. At 1818, Shelton Fireworx ad at exit 70 of some interstate, in Alabama: search on that leads to Cusseta AL, on I-85, SW of Atlanta just across the border, which is closest to the third station in the group, WFDR-FM in Woodbury. Are Georgians obliged to buy fireworx out of state? No other 94.5s in either state fit, so one or more of: WFDR-FM relay of:WSTR-HD3 94.5 WOODBURY GA URBAN CONTEMPORARY STREETZ 94.5 171035 1.9 kW 181.0 m 32-50-40 84-37-25 1273 km/791 stmi WIPK 94.5 CALHOUN GA URBAN CONTEMPORARY STREETZ 94.5 189512 6.0 kW 99.0 m 34-28-18 84-53-08 1189/739 W233BF relay of:WWSZ 1420 94.5 ATLANTA GA URBAN CONTEMPORARY STREETZ 94.5 146158 0.166 kW 334.0 m horizontal only 33-41-41 84-21-36 A9AD STREETZ 1261/784 94.5 at 1820, Straight Talk Wireless, which appears to be a national/Verizon brand; 1821 weather from a ``Georgia meteorologist``, risks of vaping; 1822 weather from The Weather Channel, so a different station? 94.1 at 1824, song in Spanish, but then English mentioning Georgia, ``-- 94``; at 1829 ``Star 94``.

No explicitly sports format in GA. 94.5 at 1838, Ozempic ad, mattress starting at one sesquikilobuck!, sped up disclaimer, a red flag: ``don`t buy this!!``, Ozempic again. If not same as initial group above since we are further into GA, could be this, the only full power in state: WBYZ 94.5 BAXLEY GA COUNTRY Z-94.5 HIT KICKIN` COUNTRY 61095 100.0 kW 309.1 m 31-47-07 82-26-58 59D5 Song/Artist on Z94 - Z94 South GA's for hit kickin country Country 1517/943 At 1840-1900 I have to suspend for lunch. 92.1 at 1904, baseball game, mentions Oklahoma State, Stillwater, but very strong peak seems Es, not GW. 95.1 at 1916, CCI to OK/KS, mentions S Carolina; something in Moncks Corner, which is near Charleston; at 1918, ad with AC 843 which is Charleston area; ``low country``: WSSX-FM 95.1 CHARLESTON SC CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO 95SX, HIT MUSIC NOW 72378 13.2 kW 230.0 m 32-47-45 79-50-26 861B 9Song/Artist on 95 SX Top 40 1689/1049 Suspend at 1924, DX seems dying out.

Now it`s UT Monday July 6, another session, at first not clear from wheres: 97.3 at 0052, iHeart plug, ``97.3, the Valley`s only lite rock`` among CCI. FMDB has no such slogan. There are valleys everywhere; could you at least name this one?? But broad searching on slogan and frequency leads here: https://mix973wheeling.iheart.com/ Therefore this is: WKWK-FM 97.3 WHEELING WV ADULT CONTEMPORARY MIX 97.3 73193 50.0 kW 128.0 m 40-05-49 80-42-06 1156 WKWK FM 97.3 Mix 97.3 WKWKFM Adult Hits 1550/963 Must be referring to the Ohio River Valley, which is pretty long; really? only lite rock?

Usually the same, so I only copy one of each, but many Canadian listings show separate H&V ERPs but horiz-only height, which does not make sense] 97.3 at 0130, medical ads, unID 96.5 at 0138 `hot-shot-secrets.com = a Diesel fuel additive.
