I'd say that the biggest reason it was not utilized is that RCA NBC was trying to bump it off so it wouldn't compete with AM. Then WW II began and they had an excuse to move slowly. Then WW II ended, and they found an excuse to move it to 88-108 MHz where Sporadic E didn't cause interference (ha ha)...

E Skip, F2, and other Skip models can be statistically described by a two axis graph with loss over free space and frequency, with probability curves. The lower frequency reflection happens with greater probability. I'll find the graphs if I can.

I had a WJBK Survey from Hudson's in Northland in 1964. It showed both the AM and FM 1500 and 93.1 frequencies. Of course, it didn't survive the next Spring Cleaning. Had a WILS Survey from Hatfield's (yup, Hatfield's had some out of town surveys) with both 1320 and 101.7 shown. Met the same fate.

They came back on one-by-one, as I was driving to work during this time frame...First 99.5, then Newsradio 950, then 104.3, then 97.1...98.7 The Breeze was still silent when I got out of my car @ 11:25am. This was probably an intentional staggered "power-up," so as not to cause a H*** power surge. ...

Forgot this one. "The Twelve Gifts Of Christmas" by Allan Sherman. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UPZ09DseJ8k Remember those early transistor radios? Our family bought our first transistor radio from Bill Lamb. Good Magvavox AM/SW, but insensitive by later standards. Cost $60.00. We weren't supposed ...

"Driving Home For Christmas" by Chris Rea. Never heard it until I started listening to UK classic hits stations. Still have never heard it on a US or Canadian station. I delivered Bill Lamb's mail now and then. There's a mailman in "Little Becky's Christmas Wish," the bringer of bad news that made ...

Same MO. Bob, Sr. went around to different businesses and did his "remotes". The station got out a few hundred feet.

I remember Rockin' Robbie from WDRQ 1030 Sterling Heights in 1988. Does that count? His father had such a station on AM around Flint in the mid 1960s, called WDAW 1200, when he was young.

How about this lost (and smooth) gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tuZ89JDxOE I had no idea Firefall recorded any Christmas songs. That sounded pretty good! Here's a Firefall song that I always associated with Christmas, because the violins remind me of sleigh bells, and because it came out aro...

You can run a format off a PC or Mac with the right software. You don't need much power or generators to do that. Then you could have battery powered STLs, assuming there is not some rule that forbids it. With LED lights and desk lamps, you could do the whole operation for days. No coffee, toast, or...
