LIVE on 101.5 FM
Yes. Since October 14, 2014 Huntley Community Radio has been broadcasting 24/7 at 101.5 Mhz on the FM band using the call letters WHRU-LP.
We installed an antenna at the top of the water tower located at Haligus and Kreutzer roads in Huntley that is connected to our FM transmitter in the base of that water tower. We then send the audio from our Deicke Park studios to the water tower via the Internet.
By law, as a low-power FM station, we are restricted to broadcasting at a signal strength no greater than 100 watts from a height no greater than 100 feet above ground level. This in effect limits its broadcast distance to approximately 5 radial miles from our transmitting antenna atop the Huntley water tower at Haligus and Kruetzer Roads without a perceived weakness in its signal. All of Huntley and portions of Lake In The Hills, Gilberts, Lakewood, Algonquin, and Hampshire are covered within this distance.
Of course, 101.5FM Huntley Community Radio simulcasts online, so listeners who have internet access anywhere in the world are able to listen to our programming. You can also listen on this website by clicking “LISTEN LIVE” or on the Tune-In App, or by downloading the RadioMax app from your favorite app store.
