The 106.7 transmitter is right downtown on the cadillac building. A lot more distance to you, than the multi FM station sites between 8 and 10 mile Road in Oak Park and Southfield. Plus the elevation AMSL downtown is a lot lower than Southfield, may be over the horizon for N. Macomb like the town of...

Sadly, I think only two years ago the FCC site still had the full engineering for the Royal Oak Township TL. the basic design can still be seen at fccinfo.com. The two tower array had a one taller Blaw-Knox tower and a shorter Blaw-Knox tower nearly south of it actually in the direction 170° azi. T...

Sure WWJ has those 6 towers beaming the signal north, try hearing WWJ out past Jacksonm going West !

This afternoon (6/7/19) at 20:10 UT, I can hear two weak signals beating a slow hetrodyne on 1460 kHz. Both have voice and music modulation that I can barely pick out on nrrow bandwidth. Signal levels are bouncing between S4 and S5.
Sure NOT WPON that is located about 3 miles from here.

Turkeytop, I tried to check out the websutes in the reply post and got redirected to some endless advertizing , for the first two sites linked to ! RRRrrr

With no ext antenna I can hear about 5 LW beacons in the daylight hours.

Does the alligator method to the telescoping antenna help both AM and FM or just FM?? Whip just does FM and SW bands. It makes more sense to plug into the Ext ant jack on the side, you could possibly damage the whip by letting your aligator clip wire yank on it. Read my post about coupling to the f...

Radiolocator went back to a simple map with limited capability thet they had used perviously to the nice, interactive one !
.

The only PH beacon I have heard is on 332 kHz in Port Huron !!!!!

When I plug an outside antenna into the jack, it sems to enhance the FM signals, as well as SW. If you have twin lead for your outside FM antenna, instead of coax, just find one of those 4:1 BalUn transformers that were seen everywhere before Cable TV :D. The way to couple a LW or MW antenna is in o...

I remember the Radio stations and programs listed in the newspapers ! ;D

I still can see the map and patterns, but not quite what they used to be like.
The google maps error goes away if you click "OK"

I have heard about the program FLDIGI bur never knew what all the letters meant !
Just not interested in Amateur Radio DIGI modes here.

I liked reading that magazine, had some Good SWL reports,

1190 WLIB is 10 kW Day, 30 kW Night

I had WLIB 1190, as 50 KW daytime power

Back in the days of the Air America fiasco, WLIB only got as powerful after its owners bought and downgraded Fort Wayne's WOWO.

I could hear WOWO 24/7 when was a kid , living in Livonia !
