Here on the Oregon Coast, both KOPB 91.5 Portland and KMUN-91.9 Astoria have many translators that their signals over lap. Add to that so many dups of rel. translators, the dial is filled up with redundancy. A couple of the Portland and Seattle stations can no longer be received here because of translators. The FM dial is getting as crowded as the AM dial.
