I am attempting to find the correct source of programming for 96.7 in Detroit. There seems to be no reliable information on this. Everything points in different directions online. FCCdata says //WCHB-AM (and displays a really old logo of WRVM, of all stations). Radio-Locator states the same... with ...

Surprised you didn't get CIDC Z103.5 there. Caseville is a northwest-facing site, meaning that Southwest Ontario signals are not going to be dominant because they are obstructed by land and need to compete with stronger signals from Northern Michigan. Instead, TCM would be most likely in a setup su...

Au Gres, which lies between Tawas City and Standish, is the second of seven Saginaw Bay bandscan sites, the others being East Tawas (last year), Bay City, Caseville, Port Austin (twice), Pointe aux Barques (north of Port Hope), and Harbor Beach (twice). Au Gres isn't that notable in scenery - it's m...

Were they all listenable? Or was it just short bursts of reception? Primarily, there are a handful that are strong locals that are in strong 24/7 and can be heard just on the car radio, a portable, or with almost anything. Those are generally 90.5 The Promise FM, 92.5 The Fox FM, 99.9 The Wave, the...

I lived on the other side of Georgian Bay. On the Bruce Peninsula that Juts between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Where the yellow dot is. Back when there was no local FM I used to often get reception from Norther MI. Alpena etc. I'm sure you've already seen it, but you can always see my Tobermory s...

I'm curious about the term you used "Raw Audio." What is that? Raw audio is just a recording with no editing. Turn the recording device on and leave it on until the end. Didn't clip, cut, edit, anything. Not my usual fashion of recording things for sure, but I wanted something that was just as-is t...

Here is the bandscan from Awenda Provincial Park near Penetanguishene, Ont. (Barrie and Orillia area). While there were two scans - one in the evening and another the following morning and afternoon - I am posting the combined scan of the two. In addition, I'm including some recordings from this ra...

I will post some of the bandscans from the shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in this space. While the scans are finished, the content has not yet been added to my website, where they are accompanied by maps, site photos, advice, and other details, which should be online by the end of this year. ...

One of the most scenic and best spots to listen along the Lake Michigan shore (other hot spots include Hart Rest Area), here are two scans 4 miles (and three weeks) apart on Sleeping Bear Dunes. Audio files are included for some of the more distant stations up to 600 miles in the first scan. Despite...

I'll speak from my own experience from my 100+ FM bandscan outings with the portable. Sometimes crappy weather can still work out for you. Of course, in my case, I often did bandscans on planned trips where the weather is gonna cooperate or I'm totally f*cked. And sometimes it just doesn't. I've bee...

Here are two scans from Escanaba and Gladstone. The Escanaba one is a full scan on the portable listening at 360 degrees including all the nulls, while the Gladstone one is from 2016 just on the car radio (things weren't working out in my favor on that day, time-wise or weather-wise, so I had to cut...

A look at typical conditions at Miners Castle, just east of Munising, both the summer of 2018 (dense coastal fog over the water) and the summer of 2019 (mostly clear skies). Stations sometimes change here from northern and western Wisconsin to northern Michigan, back and forth depending on condition...
