Reminds me of the old WAMU 88.5 out of DC before they went all NPR all the time.

A lot of the stuff I've heard was obviously recorded with basic equipment in a church somewhere...lots of variation in audio quality and volume. They've also played what sounded like old vinyls (complete with lots of pops and static cracks, etc).
They're also still quieting 107.9 MHz pretty well. When I checked this afternoon during lunch break I could hear bits and pieces of WBQK (itself a simulcast of WXTG-FM out of Virginia Beach, VA) out of West Point, VA, but for the most part the 107.9 FM frequency was quieted. They're throwing a wide FM signal for sure.

Not necessarily a good thing.

Exactly. WBQK isn't exactly a local station but still. I think the station on 107.7 FM is throwing a wide signal out there, or they're closer to 107.75 or 107.8 MHz instead of 107.7 MHz. I need to do more sleuthing / monitoring around with my PL-660 instead of my car radio (which can only do the FM band standard 200 kHz steps). They sound good on 107.7 on all receivers I've used though.
I checked this afternoon around 1300 local time and they were playing music. Yesterday at 1620-1630 local time I heard what sounded like a preacher in a church (could hear people in the background coughing and chattering from time to time). The preacher was offering his prayers for [list of absolutely everyone]. Literally at least 10 minutes of "and pray for the..." - was still going when I switched the car off and went inside.
They do have an interesting mix of material, the stuff I heard yesterday could very well have been live or very recently recorded. [/list]

Virginia House Radio 107.7 MHz FM Richmond, Virginia 6 Sept 2019
Still going strong at 0645 local time 6 September 2019 in downtown Richmond with “City On The Hill” some good old timey banjo music. SIO 555 at best points...now experiencing some major QRM as I type this (0647 local, likely due to distant station QRM, possibly WTOP’s simulcast on 107.7 MHz or WMOV-FM). SIO 444 now. Good signal with a few moments of dead air at 0648 local....then more music and positive ID by OM - Virginia House Radio Richmond Virginny 0648/0649 local with music underneath - always good to hear Virginia House Radio on 107.7 FM!
