Trophyhead and ZZM, I'd be interested in signal reports now. The main transmitter wasn't back on until yesterday (2/14). Before then the ERP was probably only 650 watts. It should be better to the south, because there was a shadow from a tower leg at the old location. WDEE has a better signal than ...

Local (daylight) AM signals actually are ture ground wave, where the transmitter antenna induces currents in the surface of the Earth ! Oops, totally didn't consider groundwave there. Thanks for the correction! (As if we barely have enough daylight this time of year for a handful of hours of decent...

I'm confuzzled. Are you asking if the proximity of the towers affect each of their coverage areas? I'd elaborate on the permafrost comment, but the permafrost region doesn't start until just south of Hudson Bay, so I reckon you won't be seeing permafrost here until at least just before the next ice ...

Cross-posted from Grand Rapids category too, but figure many don't always browse a single region when they live elsewhere. Here is my 500 Top-of-Hour IDs project as recorded from Fremont. It's a 6-hour audio documentary including legal IDs of 500 stations that are regularly heard here, plus 30 addi...

Impressive! Thanks :razz It sure has been hard to promote this project. I think a year from now, after I've totally given up promoting it, I'll check my web stats and there will be tons of hits. It happened five years after one of my other projects and still no idea where they are coming from every...

Hi all. Here is my 500 Top-of-Hour IDs project as recorded from Fremont. It's a 6-hour audio documentary including legal IDs of 500 stations that are regularly heard here, plus 30 additional stations, bloopers, commentary, a 55-page guide, and Google Earth file including the tower sites and informat...

So when exactly did the on-air switch occur?! I browsed through the posts here but can't seem to figure out the answer as the original post mentions the change via streaming, but then I didn't see any post until a few posts ago that mentions they were listening to the radio and heard the songs. I ha...

So, is 97.3 Grand Rapids still on the air, or did it go silent again? As of being in town early Saturday morning, it was on the air as usual. I can't hear it from up here in Fremont anymore due to WDEE certainly being on the air, but I have no reason to believe they've managed to go off the air aga...

Here's a bandscan at Chippewa Falls with a few additional notes from up the road at Batchawana Bay. Chippewa Falls isn't far north of Sault Ste. Marie, but still gets in on the cross-lake conditions to Wausau due to the orientation of the coastline. CHIPPEWA FALLS / BATCHAWANA BAY, ONTARIO BANDSCAN ...

WDEE was off for 12 days?! I seriously didn't notice that for 9 of those days? Wow, and I call myself a DXer. Of course, I did clean up the dial in the last three days of them being off the air and I don't usually pay great attention to strong local frequencies, knowing nothing will come from them. ...

The added mention of "Would you believe the plaintiff even sued me (unsuccessfully) for all of my assets including equipment I paid for to run the station?" to the edited Facebook posts seems to shine some (still-dim) light on the situation.

The fact 94.9 and 97.3 dumped African American-centric formats just weeks apart strikes me as odd. My guess is 97.3 was bleeding cash and has inside info that Cumulus is about to flip one of its local 50,000 watt stations to Urban. I wouldn't say that 97.3 dumped their format. They were proudly Afr...

After a lengthy court battle over... stuff... WJWC-LP has seemingly been forced off the air this morning, according to a post I accidentally ran into five minutes before they shut down. With WDEE off the air since Friday here, I've been listening to the Grand Rapids LP here in Fremont for these past...

97.3 KHKI Des Moines, 105kw (417 mi.) with fading legal ID here in Fremont on still-off-the-air 27-mi. local frequency. Fade-ups of the usual KGRR (254 mi.), WHDG (208 mi.), and WRNW (103 mi.) as well as solid signals from WMEE (167 mi.) and WMJO (109 mi.), and a weak but steady WJWC-LP (49w at 35 m...

My 27-mile local 97.3 WDEE has been off the air all weekend so far. Within the first few hours of noticing, I managed to easily hear, from Fremont: 97.3 WMEE Fort Wayne (167 mi.), which is a regular in 24/7 97.3 WJMO Essexville, Joe FM (109 mi.), also a regular, exceptional depending on where I stan...
