Booming in from the north

[Mega Hertz]

Lots of good reception this morning in Brighton coming from the north.

106.1 The Point from Tawas City beating Q106 from Jackson. That one's always a lock around here.

Also stereo locks of WINS 98.5, 97.7 out of Sandusky I believe (were playing a Guess Who song), ESPN 100.9, some kind of softer music on 98.9, hip hop on 96.5, stations from Flint and Saginaw coming in like locals.

102.7 was nowhere to be found. Even after the move to Oak Park, they're usually pretty steady here.

All in all, not a bad morning for pulls from the north!

97.7 is a pretty horrible signal in Michigan (most of its signal goes into Ontario actually). You more likely heard 97.7 Beaverton which is one of the major night enhacement stations that ends up going longer distances with tropo. It's *possible* it was Sandusky given your location being Brighton though. For the rest of the state, Beaverton would be expected. I'd imagine 98.9 was Flint, 96.5 is Lansing (DeWitt).

Thank you! I seem to recall getting Tigers games on 97.7 back when. I always thought the ID said Sandusky but maybe not. One of those mornings where I'm getting something on almost every frequency.

Your Tigers station on 97.7 is indeed Sandusky as the other 97.7 does not air the TIgers. Looks like you solved your own question ! I wasn't able to listen to anything this morning sadly, but there will be many other mornings to come. At least I think there will be...

I hope so, too

I live in a pretty decent area for reception. I'm close enough to so many different areas that have broadcasts that I can get even further ones in on a good morning. AM, on the other hand, is much harder, especially because I'm in the null for a few stations, and you can forget any after-dark locals.

I'll try again Sunday morning and actually write down what I get. Stay safe!

Here's one booming in pretty strongly from the south at the moment:

92.1 WOHF from Bellevue, OH. Confirmed via RDS. Heard Motley Crue "Smokin' in the Boys Room" moments ago.

I never knew this station existed.

A decade ago, that station was CHR WNRR "92-1 The Hits." Anyone remember that?

I often get WTGV (and WMRX) in Whitmore Lake in the summer. With WMRX and WTGV now both running classic hits formats, it's difficult to tell which is which at first listen, unless WTGV happens to be airing Detroit PBP.

I had WQLB Hits FM from Tawas coming through last night, along with WKJC.

Soft music on 98.9 was probably WAWM Air 1 from Petoskey, unless you were hearing old-school beautiful music in which case it was probably WEMP from Wisconsin!
