Re: W4 country

Wouldn't surprise me if this is planned maintenance of some kind. 102.9 broadcasts from a tower in Scio Twp whereas 107.1 broadcasts from an antenna atop an apartment high rise downtown. This. I was thinking the same thing. Different towers, and Sunday night being 'slow'. Even at my new QTH in Pete...

Re: POS Sony TV weird problem

Sony stuff is terrible these days. 1000% markup and nowhere near the quality that used to be there sadly.

Re: OnStar

Have never used it. The equipment in my brand new 2015 traverse is too outdated to use with the current system 🤷

WLEN Adrian

I've been listening a lot lately to WLEN (thinking about buying a house a bit closer to the station, although not for that reason LOL) Besides the kind of worn out intermission music, that station is pretty awesome. 1. Awesome variety of music, you can tell it's hand selected with care. Have recentl...

Re: FM power in different areas

Where the lower ERP Chicago Area FM stations fizzle out is probably determined by two factors. One is terrain and earth curvature, where you fall into a shadow. The other is the milieu of signals now on cochannel and first adjacent channels that weren't there before Docket 80-90. In Southwest Michi...

Re: FM power in different areas

Random info: I just completed a trip to chicago and back via I94 from Wayne County. Slight tropospheric enhancement. Coming back I decided to fiddle with the dial a bit (headed east). For anyone interested here are my absolutely 100% scientific observations. WKQX 101.1 - unlistenable by about MM 50 ...

Re: Last Electronics Store

Something I just learned the other day. there is a radio shack store, open and operating in Saline. Not sure what all they have in there, can't be much - but they keep the lights on. Electronics Connection would be a great place if their prices were reasonable and the staff weren't so damn cranky. P...

Re: An alternative rock station that sounds a million times better than Fault 98.7

I listened to the edge a lot when it was on 94.1, thought they had an awesome playlist. another one I really miss is buzz 106.5 .....with that deep voice voiceover guy "W-B-U-Z Delta-Toledo". Also WKRK 97.1 K-Rock. and while we're at it, Z-Rock 102.7 was cool too. also that first song in the airchec...

Re: "Solar Max Might Arrive Early"

I'm on CB (27MHZ, "11m") often and can vouch for the 10m guys - it's been wild recently, although the last few days have been quieter.

Re: I guess local TV stations no longer broadcast weather warnings?

I honestly think the NWS and the media outlets dropped the ball. No forecast I read mentioned hail at all - even the morning of these events. I did hear on one of the media outlets I think Weds or Thurs night say they "couldn't rule out a tornado" - so I guess they were the "closest?" No watch was i...

I'll have to try and DX for this. Would be interesting to hear.

I drive a C-MAX and have no problem with AM reception (HD or otherwise)
SO...What's a C-MAX? is it hybrid ?
indeed, it is.

Re: Nautel MA3 All Digital AM

On TV when two different digital broadcasts are on the same RF channel with about the same signal strength, there is no picture at all. The same would likely apply to the audio on a digital radio broadcast. Even analog to digital interference can do that. Where I live I can not hear 97.1 WXYT-FM or...
