Lake Huron FM Bandscans
I will post some of the bandscans from the shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in this space. While the scans are finished, the content has not yet been added to my website, where they are accompanied by maps, site photos, advice, and other details, which should be online by the end of this year. This is a place to share these scans in the meantime before they officially go online.
[ Radio and weather geeks, beware! Coastal tropo studies, the 3-hr. Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide, 6-hr. 500 Top-of-Hour IDs, and Chinese FM at www.chriskadlec.com • Tuner: Grundig G8 • Location: Fremont, Mich. ]

Penetanguishene, Ont. Bandscans
Here is the bandscan from Awenda Provincial Park near Penetanguishene, Ont. (Barrie and Orillia area). While there were two scans - one in the evening and another the following morning and afternoon - I am posting the combined scan of the two.
In addition, I'm including some recordings from this radio site below. I rarely make a recording of the full scan due to my recorder throwing out minor interference to the band, but I made a full recording of the initial scan from 87.7 to 107.9 the first day (see a rough index at the bottom of this post), plus individual notable recordings the following day from the higher-elevation site.
* * * * *
Over the years, I noticed that 96.5 in Penetanguishene got out really well over Lake Huron (in the absence of anything aside from Akron) and nearby Barrie signals were constant more than 250 miles across the open water up to Mackinac, leading me to wonder if the spot would be favourable toward the opposite shores as well. So I went to Awenda Provincial Park, home to a 350-foot bluff beside the water and compared signals at water level and atop the bluff. Furthermore, as my years-long project was coming to a close, I made sure to record the first session (of two) just for some memories - something I never do. Here are the results.
The 92-minute initial session at the beach was conducted in the evening hours and was more rushed than I'd usually prefer. It served as a good exploratory mission of the band - as initial scans often are - for the following morning's session atop the bluff where an abandoned trail just happened to connect only my campsite to an abandoned part of the park's Bluff Trail, where I tuned the band deep in the forest a few hundred feet above the water.
The scan below is a combined version of the 1st and 2nd session, so not all stations shown will be included in the audio file. An index of this file is at the end of this post to assist in navigating the large file, which starts at 88.1 and ends at 107.9. You can hear as I walk around looking for nulls in locals and semi-locals or waiting for IDs and now and then comparing parallel signals. The voice recorder interferes on some frequencies, so you'll hear that for sure as well - one reason I don't always record short of notable signals. Some additional individual files are provided below.

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
Thanks for posting that.
I lived up in that area for many years. When I left there in 1995, many of those stations didn't even exist yet. Up until the late 70s there was no local FM. DX was the only way to go. I had a yagi antenna and I was always rotating it around looking for something I could listen to. Nothing was reliable from day to day.
I'm curious about the term you used "Raw Audio." What is that?

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
Raw audio is just a recording with no editing. Turn the recording device on and leave it on until the end. Didn't clip, cut, edit, anything. Not my usual fashion of recording things for sure, but I wanted something that was just as-is to save from this whole bandscan project. I did the same up at Killbear too, though conditions were less interesting to record. They were far better for my 2nd scan at Awenda, but I was busy recording individual clips for that and skipping around the band.
I've heard much the same about the area having a rather vacant band. I assume Barrie didn't have much of anything on at the time? Even 102.3 came on between last summer's scans and this summer's. And the flamethrower in that area - WPHN - which I listened to all the way across Northern Ontario to the Quebec line last summer (and appears in all my Sudbury and North Bay scans) - will be wiped out by the new 90.5 when it comes on.
I think that pre-90s Penetanguishene is comparable to today's Tobermory. Like one hour it's Grand Rapids, the next hour it's Marquette, then Buffalo and Erie.

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
I lived on the other side of Georgian Bay. On the Bruce Peninsula that Juts between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Where the yellow dot is. Back when there was no local FM I used to often get reception from Norther MI. Alpena etc.
Our first FM that could provide reliable reception was CKNX 101.7 in Wingham, about 50 miles away. It came along in 1977. Shortly after that, CHAY 93.1 from Barrie opened up. They were about 90 miles away but their 100 KW signal came mostly over water. CBC 98.7 started in Owen sound in 1983. a 100 KW blowtorch. Their tower was only about 15 miles away

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
I'm sure you've already seen it, but you can always see my Tobermory scans here or my Collingwood scan... well, it seems I haven't put that online yet, but I'm sure I'll post it here in the forum soon enough until I do so.

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
Thanks for posting that Tobermory link. I haven't seen that before. Nice to see the photos. It's been over 20 years since I've been up there. Nothing has changed.
Many of those stations you listed, I heard at one time or another when I lived up there. But it amazes me that you got them all. Were they all listenable? Or was it just short bursts of reception?

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
Primarily, there are a handful that are strong locals that are in strong 24/7 and can be heard just on the car radio, a portable, or with almost anything. Those are generally 90.5 The Promise FM, 92.5 The Fox FM, 99.9 The Wave, the Owen Sound area stations (plus 94.5), the Manitoulin stations, the big Barrie stations like CHAY, and the big 100kw Sudbury ones.
The only case in which stations were a short burst of reception would be when the signal was listed as "briefly" or "in + out" and other such words. Otherwise, assume that the signal was stable.
Even when Grand Rapids was in for the night, they sounded pretty much the same as they would 60 miles from the tower. I tuned those in all the way from Point Clark up to Tobermory in solid with RDS. Like you said, things come and go depending on conditions. Tobermory isn't a coastal site really, it's a site in the middle of the water, meaning that the signals don't behave the same as in a normal coastal location, forced downward where the marine layer hits the over-land layer of air (this causes signals on the beach to be strong and stable whereas over the water, they're weaker and come and go); it instead sounds exactly like my scans in the middle of Lake Michigan with a lot of ins and outs and fades and changes in stations and conditions. If you've done this for two decades like myself, you can hear the difference between the two very quickly. The same is true of Lake Superior's coast at water level below the ducts. A lot of weak and fadey signals compared to some higher elevation along the coast. The elevation of the Bruce Peninsula is low enough that stations cross over it between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay as if the peninsula weren't even there.
So Tobermory is a bit of a unique location for radio, but it's quite possible to just put those few stations on your car's presets and tune in reliably (excluding from October to April).

Au Gres Bandscan
Au Gres, which lies between Tawas City and Standish, is the second of seven Saginaw Bay bandscan sites, the others being East Tawas (last year), Bay City, Caseville, Port Austin (twice), Pointe aux Barques (north of Port Hope), and Harbor Beach (twice).
Au Gres isn't that notable in scenery - it's mostly known for fishing and little else - and reception patterns are as expected with the usual Toronto, Barrie, and Cleveland stations in, though a decent number of inland stations into West Michigan too (beyond the usual WBCT, WVGR, WSRW, WBLV, etc.), partly because of the water path to the southwest. Reception was taken on the shore as well as at the end of the breakwater in comparison.
Stay tuned for the other Saginaw Bay scans. All have been completed except for Bay City at the moment.

Caseville Bandscan
CASEVILLE, MICHIGAN BANDSCAN
July 14, 2019 1230-1425 & 1450-1510 / 73-78°F, clear
Location: 43°56'51.7"N 83°16'40.4"W
at lake level in Caseville County Park
149 stations total / Average distance: 97 mi.
A full bandscan at the county park in Caseville, which just so happened to coincide with the triathlon - same day and time. It wasn't particularly planned in advance, but worked out well in the end either way. Typical reception from northern Michigan, Tri-Cities, Barrie, London, and Toronto as expected.

149 stations total / Average distance: 97 mi.
A full bandscan at the county park in Caseville, which just so happened to coincide with the triathlon - same day and time. It wasn't particularly planned in advance, but worked out well in the end either way. Typical reception from northern Michigan, Tri-Cities, Barrie, London, and Toronto as expected.

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
Inconclusive signals are where a directional gain antenna would help. My guesses.
91.5 WMHW Mt. Pleasant
92.7 WDZZ Flint
106.5 W293CA Flint (WSNL 600) Has Dave Ramsey during that time period.

Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
Caseville is a northwest-facing site, meaning that Southwest Ontario signals are not going to be dominant because they are obstructed by land and need to compete with stronger signals from Northern Michigan. Instead, TCM would be most likely in a setup such as that. You can compare this to east-facing Harbor Beach scans where Toronto dominates.
Signals marked as inconclusive typically are either 1) so faint that it's impossible to hear them aside from the fact that *something* is there, or, 2) weaker signals that have two likely options, such as the same format with no clues to tell them apart in the allotted time frame. A good example in spots like Bay City is Big Country and W4 Country. Big is always the dominant signal at any coastal location, but Bay City (I'll post those scans later) is at the tip of Saginaw Bay, meaning inland conditions influence, so 50kw W4 actually was in. But it's a good example of just not being sure sometimes, especially if it were a weak signal.
In this case, 91.5 was a weak station in the null of Mountain. There was just nothing to go on, so I couldn't tell if it was WICA (likely, due to the northwest-facing site) or The Beat, also a very common signal. Therefore, it's inconclusive.
92.7 was also too weak to make anything out at all. Sudbury is very common, Flint would be rather expected yet also gets out rather poorly, but Windsor's country station is in there too in this area. There's no information to go on in this case.
106.5 was just *something* in the null. It was there, but not enough of a signal to use. Kalamazoo is the norm in this area as noted at my Bay City site day and night. It's 90% sure to be them, but... because Flint is there too, it's just inconclusive.

Re: Lake Huron FM Bandscans
I'll see if I can do some brainstorming with hams and broadcasters on an easily portable and installable tripod design usable for 2 meter, Marti and FM BC DX Yagis. The rod antenna rarely produces ideal results. Maybe back in the 1970s, before the band was crowded, but not now. Often there was only one station in a whole STATE on a frequency.
