Title: WMGM FM Strapping WVEI FM on 103.7 Tonight Post by: AJ1G on June 30, 2014, 11:50:53 PM Got a headache trying to listen to the Red Sox tonight on WVEI-FM on 103.7 while cutting the lawn, listening on my pocket Sony AM/FM headset radio. They are less than 15 miles north of here in Hope Valley RI with an ERP of 37KW. Loudest tropo enhancement on FM I have ever heard, from WMGM FM down near Atlantic City about 10 times as far away as WVEI with an ERP of 50KW. WMGM was full quieting over WVEI in and out for several hours. 2 meters must have been hot - I dont have anything going on there at the moment though.

The audience didn't think it was amazing, but I did. 73DG Title: Re: WMGM FM Strapping WVEI FM on 103.7 Tonight Post by: kb3ouk on July 01, 2014, 06:29:47 AM Two years ago I was driving around here listening to WFGY in Altoona, which is on 98.1 (30kw ERP at 287m HAAT). Usually they come blasting in where I was at that time, but I noticed they where having some problems with other stations in the background. Made a turn onto another road and suddenly they disappear and are replaced by KMBZ in Kansas City, MO, right as that station did their ID. ANd then right after that, KMBZ disappeared and WFGY was back.
