Re: WMOM shuts down
I bet a Jesus operator will buy it. I can't see Interlochen going that far south and Blue Lake won't bite. Blue Lake already has one of the best signals in the western Great Lakes. I can pick up 90.3 across Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and even on the east and north shore of Lake Superior. You're rig...

Re: WMOM shuts down
Well, that's quite unsatisfactory. I checked the frequency and ppf... no MOM :( Just Chicago and Detroit fading in and out. It would be more interesting had I not already heard pretty much everything on 102.7 within range. I'd rather have a true local station on the air 30 miles from home than an em...

Sheboygan & Manitowoc Bandscans
Here are bandscans from the Sheboygan and Manitowoc areas. The first is taken at Kohler a few miles south of Sheboygan, while the second is taken on Rawley Point just north of Two Rivers. Between the two is the usual boundary between northern and southern stations, just as it is between Silver Lake ...

Southern Dunes Bandscans
Here are two bandscans conducted on the same day: Warren Dunes and Indiana Dunes. I will post in the future when both scans have their maps, photos, and site details posted on my website for anyone interested. The full Lake Michigan series will be posted in May. Warren Dunes ' typical reception is S...

Re: Most distant AM/FM/TV signal you ever tuned in?
... picked up several stations from northern WI. Called WDEZ and chatted with jock who ended up putting it on air. I think a lot of DXers have called or e-mailed stations they picked up by Es. But most people in the radio business have nooooo idea what tropo or E-skip is. Just none. At all. I usual...

Re: Sunny 92.5 / 97.5 Nash Icon
I know that there was a lot of series before 94.5 and 107.3 did their switch, I believe one of those theories was an LPFM going up in Muskegon at 99.1 FM to broadcast “The ticket”. Could it be possible that there are scrapping the 99.1 FM and the Nash icon and putting “The Ticket” on 97.5 in the ne...

Re: Sunny 92.5 / 97.5 Nash Icon
Both run straight from Westwood One satellite. They have for many years. I’m guessing the dead air was problems switching the satellites in the computer, then they have to put in the liners, etc. I’m streaming 92.5 (I never hear 92.5 here) It sounds like they’re running the Westwood One AC network ...

Re: Winter P2 Arbitrends (Updated: 03-27-19)Grand Rapids
Throw in a third 93.7 that is country but at least has a different slogan. Have you ever gotten the classic hits 99.5 in Negaunee? That comes in very rarely in Manistee Northwoods and Marquette stations cannot be received south of Big Sable Point and downtown Ludington, aside from some holdouts tha...

Re: Sunny 92.5 / 97.5 Nash Icon
The two made the switch between 10:30 and 11 this morning. I was recording 92.5 for 12 hours unattended as I had never heard a station actually switch formats and was excited to learn of it ahead of time to get that chance for two of my closest locals. I noted different music when I checked at 11 an...

Re: Sunny 92.5 / 97.5 Nash Icon
I believe it puts a stronger signal for Nash Icon into parts of Muskegon It also pulls the format out of listening range of Grand Rapids, thus removing some competition for 107.3 Well, stronger, perhaps, but not really by any notable measure. 92.5 is only 15 miles outside of Muskegon and can be hea...

Sunny 92.5 / 97.5 Nash Icon
I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned the fact that 97.5 and 92.5 have swapped frequencies to Sunny 92.5 and 97.5 Nash Icon. As I noticed this, I thought of how I swore someone in their babbling about who should do what and what will happen in the future, etc. had actually once said this should hap...

Door County Bandscan
Here's a recently finished bandscan from northern Door County at my Cana Island site (technically not on the island, which is a few hundred feet from the mainland anyway). No map or photos on this scan as I'm just typing them up now and the map will take 6+ hours. (Freaking 202 stations at this spot...

Re: Most distant AM/FM/TV signal you ever tuned in?
Most distant from my home site (Fremont): I don't keep running logs for my US site, but I have kept seasonal and event logs in the past, which include my longest catches. I think like most people who do TV (I stopped after 2010), my longest catches are the regular Colombians and the Venezuelan Tele...

:razz I purposely posted here figuring you were the one most likely to know this detail. Thanks! I've been working on typing out my Lake Huron and Lake Michigan scans (the only two of the five lakes remaining and Huron is done now). WBCT is basically... omnipresent. It's just in nearly every scan. L...

While trying not to start a new thread for a basic question, I am trying to distinguish between B93 Sheboygan and B93 Grand Rapids here -- a regular pain in my ass!! I'm working on a past bandscan from Door County from last summer. Grand Rapids is usually quite dominant there and all the usual GR st...
