this morning, driving thru Rockford, I heard BBC radio of all things on 97.1, I got a bit of chicago stations and randomly Kiss 105.9 from Detroit of all things. Any idea of what it could be, the signal didnt last long. There are a few possibilities for this. First, if you are driving, there is a h...

I've worked within a few miles of WPRR-FM's tower for the last three years and I don't think I've ever heard it on Agreed!! In all the times I've looked for this station, even near or in its coverage area, I've only ever heard WMBI. Early on, when it first was scheduled to sign on and was testing, ...

Don't forget that 103.9 Ludington - also an LP signal - is an affiliate too and IDs with Holy Family Radio and WVHF-AM.

This unknown station has finally been solved after a Facebook post on an AM group showed that an Valpo FM translator (of an AM station) was rebroadcasting WGTO, which made me curious if anyone else was, given this mystery that has bugged me for months. I checked the station databases again to find t...

Thanks for the response, both of you. I passed the info along to John Rieger to be posted on dx-midAMerica. John sure is persistent with keeping that site going. I've known John for 18 years and despite all the changes in his life, I don't think that site has changed a bit in the 26 years it has be...

I've had a tip that 1380 and the 101.9 translator have split from simulcasting 106.3 and debuted a new format, but I'm not within listening range to tell. Chris Kadlec or someone else in the area, can you confirm? I am barely within listening range of any of these (at night anyway). 1380 is St. Lou...

That all seems fine, except I'd push WGRD closer to a true active rocker. Cut out ANY pre-1991 product... increase new music adds/spins. Give up that attempt to be the thorn on WLAVs side. Absolutely. WGRD is pretty dull considering they are the one and only (non-classic) rock station in the whole ...

I had an odd one this past Saturday night. I usually have no problem pulling in WJRT in southwestern St. Clair County, but instead found myself watching WINM out of Angola, IN. https://i.postimg.cc/Zn0rK7KV/WINM.jpg That sure was another awesome tropo opening Friday night through Monday night!!! Ev...

It was certainly an impressive event indeed! Then this morning when I really didn't have much chance to listen, I had a few more stations from Missouri, all in very strong. Conditions were very stable but long-distance catches were quite few and far between at the same time, which was great given th...

Here is a summary of the massive tropo event of August 16 and August 19-22 as heard here in Fremont. Equipment includes a portable Grundig G8 with an attached voice recorder; every piece of equipment is currently broken in one way or another and in desperate need of replacement. All catches are live...

You were probably hearing WXZO via e-skip.

Thanks, but it was local groundwave - not even tropo at that - in the entire time I was monitoring from 2 to 6pm with the same signal quality as the other South Bend stations (weak-ish, but stable).

Hi all. I was doing some radio bandscan work at Warren Dunes last weekend for a project of mine and ran into MeTVFM. However, while it is typically on the air on 97.1 South Bend (as WGTO-AM Cassopolis), I logged a rather semi-local 96.7 with a "MeTV" ID and nothing at all in the null of local The Dr...

Usually in South Bend and Elkhart I can pick up at least WPWX A lot harder to pick them up in SW MI and the South Bend area now since 92.1 turned on their IBOC a few years back. There are plenty of stations in NE Indiana and adjacent regions that are co-channel with the major FMs in Chicago. Chicag...

WGHN has had some technical difficulties in the past day. They have been off the air since at least Tuesday morning, i.e. running dead air but with the signal still broadcasting. Not only has 92.1 been off, but 94.9 and 93.1 as well. However, while they were all off while I was in Grand Haven in the...

I checked this afternoon in the car and could hear The River breaking through V100.7's IBOC, meaning it is certainly back at full power.
