Do you shag? (Beach Music from Huber Heights, OH)
Carolina Beach Music is a genre that combines a little bit of everything. Big Band, Swing, Rockabilly, Jazz, and R&B
I understand that it is available certain times on a station out of Dayton, - WSWO at 97.7 mHz with a translator at 101.1 - but I can't seem to pick it up in my surburban Cincinnati location.
Does anyone receive this station in their location?

Experiments with radio Jazz: the HD2 WGUC signal
WGUC does broadcast 24 hour Jazz on their second HD channel, and it sounds pretty good. You will need an HD radio receiver to get the signal, there doesn't appear to be internet streaming of the signal.
If you like what you hear on WGUC-HD2 (Jazz), they ask you to send an e-mail to them:
jazz@cinradio.com
Please add your zip code in the body of the e-mail, so they can tell where you are receiving the signal.
I live 900 ft above sea level 20 miles east of downtown Cincinnati.
My receiver is sometimes on the fringe area of WGUC's HD2 signal, depending on the time of day and antenna placement.
I did my testing using a Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio Tuner with the supplied indoor FM Antenna:
The good:

- Antenna elevated, 5-6 feet off the ground: No reception at 9:30pm.
- Antenna in pile on floor: reception OK from 5:30AM until 8AM.
The good:
- The music is good mix of sounds
- The reception is very clear
- Non-commercial radio means minimal interruptions
- You need an HD radio to receive it
- I miss the commercials
- No playlist online or sent along with the HD program stream

Station Links updated
I changed the technology behind the Stations list, so that changes are reflected directly. It takes a little bit longer to load, but they now jump directly to the music player, saving time.
Yahoo Pipes allowed creation of a more flexible list in about 30 minutes time.
Ask questions by leaving a comment. Thanks.
