The rest area at Hart (between Hart and Shelby on southbound US-31) is perhaps the best location along the east shore of Lake Michigan for listening. It's at the top of the steady 200-foot incline if you're heading northbound, though you'll have to turn back southward to access it. It's a seasonal r...

The final two scans of my 80 total on the Great Lakes were at two inland sites that are line-of-sight to the lake, not to mention a few hundred feet above it. Ludington Rest Area can be found on US-31 northbound just south of Ludington. It's only about a mile from the water. Take the turnoff road up...

With my project of conducting full bandscans at 80 beaches on the Great Lakes now completed, I'm working on typing out the data from the most recent 35 scans conducted this summer across all 5 lakes (and Lake St. Clair). I'll post some of them here before adding them to my website later on. I know a...

Unfortunately, search doesn't work well with acronyms or short words. Sorry about that. Ha, it's okay. I should have seen the topic to start with (as detailed as I usually am!) Nice to have some information to start with though. It's always a complication with those STAs, applications, CPs, etc. an...

Oh snap!! I had browsed the results through two pages of the Grand Rapids forum (obviously missed it despite it even being marked with the little flame) and then to be sure, I used the search function searching for both "LAV" and "WLAV" and that post appears under *neither* search terms. I had recal...

Any idea of just *when* this move to Allendale may have occurred? This is the problem with the crappy issue of this site losing tons of posts whenever something happens; all this information gets lost. I have numerous bandscans over the summer that include LAV. It would be nice to have an accurate t...

Hi all. I believe that the old post about LAV's transmitter location, STA, etc. was wiped out during the last site issue as it appears to be, well, wiped out. I'm doing some radio work (involving station distance, which requires the accurate location of the station over the summer) and attempting to...

The most impressive is getting KBGY around WCCW and WDUZ 107.5 looked like this pretty much all evening: WCCW / 40dBµ, stereo / local WCCN / 20dBµ, mono in easy null KBGY / 20dBµ, mono still in rather easy null No sign of WDUZ, which is 100 miles away and much lower power than WCCN, though WDUZ at ...

I was out of town, so I didn't get in on it :/ Don't worry. You wouldn't have gotten in on any of it. It was elevation dependent on the lake. Nothing was noted in Manistee, Elberta and Frankfort, etc. Just typical Wausau, Northwoods, Milwaukee, Madison, etc. Just like my scans at Copper Harbor . At...

It's a mystery to me, how you're able to get an ID on all of those. Most FM stations nowadays, instead of using their call letters, identify with some silly name or brand. Country 92. Rock 107. The Duck. The Moose, etc Shouldn't be much of a mystery. I just do a quick search in the WTFDA database. ...

Stable 600-mile reception to the Dakotas and Minnesota all afternoon and evening from atop Sleeping Bear Dunes, coastal site #74 of 76, 505 feet above the water. Among stations received beyond the typical 300-mile distance on Saturday evening, some with recordings below: 91.3 KUWS WI Superior (321 m...

I don't think WLAW has completed their move to their new 6kw site yet, though I wonder when it may happen. I know that others figured it would be sooner than later, though these things tend to take plenty of time. At my Montague site (Meinert Park), ZOK was still heard quite easily as normal in thei...

Sounds like a spy number station, but it's a letter station. Don't know where it would be coming from. One side would say The Russians, the other the Chinese. During W W I and W W II, German and Japanese spies used Shortwave. I'd say call a federal agency, but I don't know which one or who. Call a ...

What if it was Barnesville?

That would still not help me in identifying it though...

A 29-second repeating loop, which can be heard here : "Welcome to Marnesville Radio. Breaking news is... (?) , F - I - S - O - W - T - M - E - U - E - S - E - E - R - H - T. That concludes our broadcast. Thank you." Is such a message familiar to anyone? This was heard in the null of the semi-locals ...
