Re: Mini DXPedition
It would be interesting to research where the VOA is transmitting from recently.

Re: Mini DXPedition
This time, take more wire and try the so-called "tropical bands'; 49, 60, 75 and 120Meters. Stations there are lower power and regional. Less lightning noise for locals listening there than Medium Wave AM.

Re: FM reception in the southeast part of the US
Listening to AM DX off the coast is more likely easier due to the lack of ground based, unintentional radiation interference from appliances and power infrastructure. I don't think MW signals get any tropo enhancement like VHF and UHF.

Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET
The WXYZ-FM transmitter was on the Maccabees Building, which is near the North End of the Cass Corridor Area, on Woodward, one block from Cass Ave., though generally associated with WSU. It's not the scary area further South. Maybe that's the confusion. They moved to the Broadcast House site on the...

Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET
With old callsigns jumping to new freqs etc, it gets very confusing. I also associated the old WLLZ (98.7) coming in after WBFG (98.7) at Lyndon and Cloverdale, Formerly Ch 2 TV tower. I see the big stand-alone tower sitting off Woodward, between Cass and Canfield is going to be the diplex site ? No...

Re: 20 element fm antenna
Good for a rural area. I imagine if you turn it 5 degrees off a readable signal , it will be GONE !

Re: August 16-22 Tropo Summary
How did the Toledo FM station get the same (long held) call sign as the Cinci AM with 50 kW ? I have seen only a fewinstances of this duplication in the US, very unusual.

Re: CKWW 580 Signal Observations
I think the 8600 is a bit out of my price range for receive only gear ! I see ads from $1800-2500 !

Still see no CP or anything about a downgrade at WMVP, on the FCC AM Querry page. Or the Radiolocater listing

Re: WMVP Downgrade
Ju I know there is a AMBC transmitter site with (maybe) 6 towers for WYLL 1160 near Joliet, They still can be heard well in the Detroit area at night, even with one small lobe in night pattern our way. Now that WCXI 1160, 15 kW has moved into my neighborhood , WYLL is no longer heard here. :shock:

Re: FM Antenna Price Inflation and Performance Deflation?
DIY antennas are my thing. But the price of wire, coax, twinlead, light metal tubing, and various insulators , have gone out of reach with the current economy. I am starting to forget "L in Ft = 468/F in MHz" !

OK so now TV is migrating to UHF due to the deep wisdom of FCC suits ?

Re: WMVP Downgrade
Just took a look at RadioLocator and the FCC AM Querry pages, and WMVP has no CP listed for this downgrade ! Must be inside info! I recall when it was WCFL. Drove past the three mismatched towers (not quite in a line) many times when I lived there. I know there is a AMBC transmitter site with (maybe...
