Lake Superior FM Bandscans

Unread post by cckadlec »

I will post a handful of Lake Superior bandscans from this summer in this thread. Only Michigan scans were conducted this summer either as repeats at certain locations or as new locations (only two and one was unplanned).

For existing scans from the 18 sites making up the remainder of Lake Superior, including in Minnesota and northern Ontario, see here.

If Lake Michigan is your thing, there is another thread for that; those will be added to my website within the next two months. For Lake Huron, there are existing scans online and multiple additional sites to be posted later on.
Marine propagation studies, Korean propaganda and jammers (8 hrs. of audio), 500+ Great Lakes TOH IDs (6 hrs.), Chinese AM TOH IDs (53 hrs.), Chinese and Taiwanese propaganda and jammers, plus articles and maps at www.chriskadlec.com • Tuner: Grundig G8 & TEF6686.

Lake of the Clouds Bandscans

Unread post by cckadlec »

One of two new sites along Lake Superior this summer was Lake of the Clouds. The original plan was to do work at a site toward Bayfield, Wisc. but falling behind in my journey around the lake last summer and having to drive back up the north shore of Minnesota for sightseeing and a second scan at Palisade Head took precious hours off my day on the day of that planned scan.

Furthermore, I hadn't planned for the fact that Lake Superior ducts are elevated due to the lower water temperatures, making the Bayfield area and Wisconsin in general less desirable. Only the mountain to the north of Bayfield would have been beneficial, but the available time was too short, leaving a massive blank spot on my Superior bandscan map. Lake of the Clouds filled that empty spot and also matched in elevation with the higher ducts along the lake. It appeared to be a perfect location, much like my Copper Harbor scans on Brockway Mountain.

In the end, I ran short on time on the day of this scan as well and managed to get in at 7:30, 2 1/2 hours before sunset. I went through the band quicker than I usually would have. Because it was butting up against sunset, signals were weaker and not as distant as they usually would be in the middle of the afternoon. I remedied this by doing a second scan the following day not too early but not too late before having to head east for the L'Anse and Marquette scans that afternoon and evening.

I also took scans at Union Bay Campground down the road closer to lake level, though due to time, they more closely intersected with night enhancement. Results in the daytime were rather identical though due to the fact the temperature and conditions never changed between day and night - always the same air temperature as the water temperature beside it.

The mountains to the south and west blocked most signals there but enhanced the signals from Northern Michigan instead, which weren't as present atop the mountain. Instead, the mountain mostly had signals from well into Minnesota and right against the North Dakota and Manitoba and Ontario borders (literally right beside the border). I think these scans are ample to show typical conditions at this site and compare different elevations on an average day. Plus, reception across both days on the mountain were nearly identical with some small differences due to the time of day, as previously mentioned.

Average reception distance topped out at 137 miles, which is quite decent. It compares well with Copper Harbor at 150 miles, and Grand Sable Dunes (Grand Marais) at 144. Averages on the far north shore of the lake - Terrace Bay, Marathon, and Kama Bay - hang between 191 and 202 miles. Averages along the Lake Michigan shore are typically about 90. (This means you add the distances of all stations received and divide by the total number of stations to get the average reception distance).

While stations - as is common along the lakes - topped out at just over 300 miles here, WMUZ Detroit was heard at 443 miles fading in with "... whoever from the WMUZ audience ..." and then out. I'll certainly take that for a 3-second reception.

Miners Castle Bandscans

Unread post by cckadlec »

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 conditions, though most of the usual Northern Ontario and North Shore Minnesota stations tend to stay in.
