DX report - Saturday, 7/23

The technical side of broadcasting. Think IBOC is a sham? Talk about it here! How about HDTV? Post DX reports here as well.

I didn't do a real scan early this morning, but I was able to pick up 106.1 from Mansfield from my home in Toledo. I've been able to pick them up before during tropo sessions. They were playing a rather large library of 80's and 90's songs,

About WDKL, I still see the old WBRB site tower is still there at 14 MIle and Gratiot. Did WDKL abandon that facility ?
I know a lot of stations moved to the new WWJ / now CBS's Ch 62 site behind the O L D WWJ
AM site on 8 mile road. Hard to keep track where everyone is transmitting from :D

Did you mean 91.5 WBEZ?

If you picked up NPR programming at 91.3 MHz, you probably heard WGTE Toledo.
Some years ago I was able to hear WMBI in Chicago on 90.1 ! Now too many local (Detroit/Windsor) signals to do any FM DX listening.

I believe they sold the site to American Tower. Last time I passed by, the tower looked bare. I wonder if the environmental issues were ever solved? As I recall, it was a former dump (Pitko Landfill) and benzine was detected on the property. There was a major dust-up between Ragan Henry, and Inner City Broadcasting about that, many years ago.
