I detected no trace of 103.9 W280EM anywhere south of Chicago yesterday. WXRD Crown Point is listenable throughout all of NW Indiana and along I-80 as far west as US-45.

I heard “Streetz 95.1” W236CF Chicago this morning, beating up WFAV Kankakee as far south as the Will/Kankakee Co. border, as usual. That translator is super directional, aimed right down the Dan Ryan / Bishop Ford / IL-394 corridor. More often than not, translators aim a protective null at a co-channel station. W236CF is the opposite, their peashooter is aimed directly toward the WFAV tower near Aroma Park IL 😬
