Too bad that Denver has a channel 6 as 87.9 often makes for a good 
transmission frequency.

www.radio-locator.com

has a nice recent addition to their service in showing potential target 
frequencies for a given area.
Go to the main page of www.radio-locator.com



and in the first edit box, enter your zip code. 
As I didn't have that info for your particular area of the Denver area, I 
entered Denver for the city and CO for the state which produces
a station listening profile for midtown denver.

Vacant Frequencies

For midtown Denver, it displayed the following:

93.9 FM  BEST!
91.7 FM  GREAT
88.9 FM  GOOD
93.7 FM  GOOD
97.7 FM  GOOD
Attention:
  Before transmitting on an FM frequency, always check to see if the channel is 
truly
vacant by listening with an FM radio. Your audio device will work best on an 
empty
channel and you will be less likely to cause interference with other people's 
radio
reception.

Dependent upon where in the area one is, of course, the target freqs will 
vary -- and sometimes greatly.

What the list may not be able to tell you is where you may be dealing with 
multipath problems or the image rejection capabilities of the receiver you 
will be using to listen the transmitter with.
In problem areas, a good image rejection receiver is paramount.
While we are in a smalltown environment where you wouldn't expect such 
problems, as luck would have it, we're within a mile of a  transmitter 
farm housing a 50kw fmer, a 3kw fmer, 
a 1kw Amer, and a low-power fm translator.
After some testing, I've settled on 2 walkman style units with good image 
rejection properties for my fm transmitter listening: namely, a Sangean 
dt300vw and alternatively


a dt-200v also from Sangean.

These 2 radios seem to effectively cut out much of the image rejection 
which most of our other radios cannot deal with.
So, I believe, even in crowded fm areas, finding a channel (perhaps not 
the ideal one) usually is workable with perhaps a great deal of 
frustration and time required to locate the ideal freq choice.
