(Beach Music from Huber Heights, OH)<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_music">Carolina Beach Music </a> 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, - <a href="http://www.daytonoldies.com/">WSWO</a> 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?

You will need an HD radio receiver to get the signal, there doesn't appear to be internet streaming of the signal.<br />
<br />
If you like what you hear on WGUC-HD2 (Jazz), they ask you to send an e-mail to them:<br />
<a href="mailto:jazz@cinradio.com?subject=I%20like%20the%20Jazz&bcc=wnop.JazzLiszt@picrad.com">
jazz@cinradio.com</a><br />
<br />
Please add your <b>zip code</b> in the body of the e-mail, so they can tell where you are receiving the signal.<br />
<br />
I live 900 ft above sea level 20 miles east of downtown Cincinnati.<br />
<br />
My receiver is sometimes on the fringe area of WGUC's HD2 signal, depending on the time of day and antenna placement.<br />
<br />
<br />
I did my testing using a
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00168Q248?ie=UTF8&tag=wnop_electronics-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00168Q248">Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio Tuner</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wnop_electronics-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00168Q248" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" width="1" />
with the supplied indoor FM Antenna:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Antenna elevated, 5-6 feet off the ground: No reception at 9:30pm.</li>
<li>Antenna in pile on floor: reception OK from 5:30AM until 8AM.</li>
</ul>
There was one noticeable dropout after 30 minutes, but the sound was solid unless I moved around the antenna too much. An indoor antenna isn't as reliable as an outdoor one.
In both cases the receiver itself is next to a PC, and two Apples, so RF noise doesn't seem to affect the signal much.<br />
<br />
The good:<br />
<ul>
<li>The music is good mix of sounds</li>
<li>The reception is very clear</li>
<li>Non-commercial radio means minimal interruptions<br /></li>
</ul>
The bad:<br />
<ul>
<li> You need an HD radio to receive it</li>
<li>I miss the commercials</li>
<li>No playlist online or sent along with the HD program stream</li>
