In my college days I attended every BYU basketball game at the Marriott Center that I could. One time I decided to bring my Realistic TRF to a game to see if I could pick up the play-by-play on KSL. Unfortunately, the signal was mostly blocked. I tuned around a bit and heard the play-by-play on the odd frequency of 1100 kHz.
