97.1 Signal?

[J-Ten]

Are they having issues? All day it was full of static and interference in the downriver area.

[MegaHertz]

Either ducting or e-skip. I get some funky shit in the early morning out here. It's pretty hot pretty late so who knows.

I noticed that in Ann Arbor as well.

probably eskip...Sometimes ..again early morning I get 97.1 like a local here west of Saginaw....But my local sports station 100.9 the MITT gets interefered big time by 100.9 in Big Rapids...

there's been a lot of tropospheric ducting lately, across lake erie mainly. most of the cleveland area FMs are cochannel to detroit, so you'll hear them often - especially from detroit southward. 97.1 has a cochannel station in cleveland.

wycd, wkqi, wufl and wmxd commonly get eaten alive by the cleveland stations from spring-fall, evening hours through early morning hours.

Yeah noticed that as well on Tuesday AM before the Tigers game. Sounded much better last night! Go Tigers!

I'm sure some out there are having reception issues tonight, there are some pretty decent tropo conditions going on within the last 2.5-3 hours, oddly I was pulling in stations from various directions not just the usuals booming in from Cleveland into the Detroit market (did a band scan on my car radio parked in a parking lot in Shelby Township rather than from home on the antenna tower)

I used to experience this a lot in the afternoon on Jefferson in Detroit and for a few miles north on I-75.

93.5 WHMI was being ripped to shreds by CBC Radio One's London, ON station in Brighton about an hour ago.

I've never heard that happen before in Livingston County.

I was picking up multiple Detroit FMs in HD in eastern Ingham County while traveling eastbound on 96.

CKSY and 95.1 CKUE were coming in like locals near Kent Lake.

I put something in the engineering thread about this. London was coming in gangbusters. WHMI was struggling in Ann Arbor. Unheard of.

Happy e skip month.

Tropospheric ducting in terms of the examples mentioned here.

I was hoping to hear FM 96 from London well near Brighton and Milford, but unfortunately, CJWF from Windsor was very dominant.

I wish I would've tried CHKS from Sarnia.

I wonder if I would've been able to hear CKSY faintly near the Gerald R. Ford Airport in Kent County; it's happened before.

25 years ago, I used to hear CFPL-FM, CHKS and the original CKUE-FM (in its infancy) in Ann Arbor clear as a bell in the evening on a regular basis in autumn and spring. Those dial positions were uncrowded back in those days.

95.1 was booming in Thursday between Toledo and Port Clinton.

97.9 WJLB was overpowering 97.9 WGRD while I was in Kalamazoo earlier this week.

I was listening in the car between 16 and Rochester and 16 and Coolidge yesterday while listening to the Lions game. It was in the 2nd quarter. Did anyone else have it intermittently cut to static for like a second?
