Sometimes I'll set the truck stereo on 87.9FM to see what comes up on the work commute. This time, a weak, mono station playing a Gorillaz tune that came IN / OUT for 2 miles. No ID. And, it wasn't bleed-through from 88.1FM's LPFM station locally. Usually, I hear other drivers on 87.9FM airing MP3's, or satellite radio, but they are true Part #15 at just a few hundred feet. This covered miles. Station was gone by 06:30UTC, when I checked, later.

I'm confused about this frequency - weren't the stations supposed to shut down back in July? I have a loud one by me in NYC, WNYZ-LP, and they did shut down. But then around 2 months or so ago, they're back on 87.74, and louder than before. Did something change regarding the Franken FM shutdown? Thanks in advance...

Well, these last posts can sort of explain that, https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,83059.0.html Incidentally, I don't see WNYZ-LP listed here, https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?state=NY&serv=FL&vac=&list=2

I tried looking for them on the FCC too, with no luck. I tried to catch it on the air but it was Korean religious programming and I could only take so much, lol. One thing for sure, they came back with a better signal, edging out a college station I like on 88.1. Also odd how it's centered on 87.74, I wonder if that affects folks reception with cheap radios. Great page (Radio Survivor), thanks for posting!
