I'm wondering about the move to 99.9, as that was mandated under Docket 05-243, and part of that docket involves moving KMGR from Delta and that tower near Nephi to Humphreys. May be that there are projected signal quality issues that necessitated the 97.1 translator. 05-243 involves a large number of station moves, some are still in the application stage, others are ready to fire up based on the reports here. The 92.5 moves that were part of this already have taken place as U-92 is a full C2 now.
As to 94.5 I'm picking up the main in Provo, and in Salt Lake I'm getting 92.9 and 96.7. None are clear, but I was able to ID them. Same goes for 93.7 in Richfield. I'm getting them on a 1/2 iPod-sized Insignia NS-HD01. That's the Best Buy portable HD radio receiver. Gets the Air1 translator on 89.7 clear depending on trees and buildings a good 40 miles away from the transmitter too.
I'm wondering if it is all because equipment and antennas are more sensitive than they used to be. Even the FCC says the preductions of coverage areas are conservative, and many are known to be heard further out than they are predicted to by standard engineering calculations.
