102.1 Experiment FM
Where to Hear ExperimentFM


If you're in Ames, Iowa, simply listen using your FM radio. If you can't get ExperimentFM over the air, listen to one of our online streams.


Listen on the Radio

ExperimentFM can be found at 102.1MHz on FM radio throughout much of Ames, Iowa.

Since ExperimentFM is a micro-power station, you may have difficulty receiving the station without a fully-extended antenna attached to your radio receiver. If you are having trouble receiving our stereo signal, try using a different radio or try moving your radio in a different location, preferably near a window, or try repositioning your antenna. ExperimentFM is vulnerable to interference from bigger, more powerful stations and it's possible your radio may not be able to decipher ExperimentFM's signal under certain conditions.

Automobile radio receivers are generally better at receiving ExperimentFM, as they tend to be located outdoors with an external antenna. Try tuning to 102.1 in your car to see if ExperimentFM is receivable in your area.


Listen Online

If you can't get ExperimentFM on your radio, you can always listen online without the noise, static, and interference sometimes encountered with FM radio. ExperimentFM has two streams: a low-bitrate Windows Media stream, and a high-bitrate MP3 stream.

The MP3 stream is preferable, as it has a superior audio quality and is universal among most computer platforms (Windows/Mac) and media players. You probably have a media player installed on your computer right now which can understand this stream (iTunes, Winamp, etc). Click below or copy the URL into your preferred media player to listen now. Depending on your setup, you may start listening automatically, or you may be prompted to download and open a file.

If you have a slow internet connection, you might try our Windows Media stream. It uses half the bandwidth, but may be tricker to get to work if you don't have a Windows computer. Click here or copy this URL to listen:
