The Battle of the 98.7's
At 8:10 or so, Alt was battling another 98.7 that was playing Give It Away. Trying to get an I.D. Anyone know what it might be?

Get the fuck out! Thanks, Marcus! That's quite a catch in the Howell/Genoa Twp. area!

Dude, now that I've checked out their playlist...can we just get that station piped in instead of Alt?

I hear E-skip is hot tonight in a large portion of the country. DXers dream.

WNOR is a great station; one of the stalwarts of the Active Rock format. The fact they have multi-decade success with the format in a part of the country where its availability is uncommon makes the feat even more noteworthy.
DTE Energy paid $752 million in dividends to its shareholders last fiscal year. Remember that the next time they ask the MPSC to approve rate hikes.

Back in the day of shortwave broadcasting I think WNOR was playing rock on shortwave........

I've been listening to 99 WNOR since about 5:30. Not a bad station. I was happy to hear Live All over you and Corey Taylor. Nice mix. I will probably listen more.

Re: The Battle of the 98.7'sable
Usually, Sporadic E signals don't last that long. It might be because there are no cochannels further away than the ocean, and this is about at the minimum distance for Sporadic E. Usually, tropospheric would be the one that is stable. If you have an accurate and slow AGC signal meter, the Sporadic E signal bounces around in strength, literally bounces around with a d'Arsonval meter movement. Tropo stays close to the same signal strength over time.

This is an unusual distance, not because it's long, rather because it's short! At least for an FM broadcast signal heard by Sporadic-E propagation.Marcus wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 8:54 pmWNOR Norfolk, VA

A more typical distance for FM reception by E-skip would be 1100 miles.

Re: The Battle of the 98.7's
You're thinking about WRNO. A New Orleans shortwave station that sold airtime to paying customers, but would simulcast their FM in time slots they failed to sell.
I toured the FM station and the shortwave station when I was at the 1985 WTFDA convention.

WRNO Worldwide, as they called it, used to run Rush Limbaugh, live. Rush called it "the EIB World Service".
As I recall, they actually started with some live rock music personality shows specifically for the shortwave audience, but reverted early on to simulcasting the FM.

I recenty have made some good stable contacts via Sporadic E- skip on 21, 24, 28 and 50 MHz radio bands, but have not really heard of it getting up to much higher freqs..
