Wednesday DX'ing

[Jim]

The radio dial around Janesville (in my car) was quite busy today.  Most of the Rockford stations were loaded with static and most of the Milwaukee stations were non-existant or fighting with other stations.  Unfortunately I was only able to get and ID on one station:

97.9 WJBQ Portland, ME "Q97.9"

At first I though the calls were WDBQ from Dubuque but thats 107.5 and there isn't a 97.9 in Dubuque anyway.  After about 10 minutes of searching on my cell phone I figured out it was WJBQ.  I haven't gotten a catch this far away in a good 10-12 years when i pulled in stations from Salt Lake City and Grand Junction Colorado.  Those stations came in for hours not just minutes.

Wow!  The furthest away I ever hit an FM Station from Milwaukee was Grand Rapids, Michigan.  I hope to hit something like this someday!

Wow, that is great bounce for FM. I'm lucky to pick up the Milwaukee FM or Chicago FM in South Milwaukee,course i live right next to the airport.When i lived in Arizona you could pick up L.A FM in the Western part of the state.
