106.9 WKVP weak signal
- Thread starter radiodx10
- Start date
HDs gone all month also...
WYPA 3 HDs off also all April, 106.9 has been off the air last few days....
all Beasley HDs are off also. is the end of HD in Philly in sight??
FM DX'ers living near Philadelphia I'm sure do! Outside of NYC, I can get some Philly stations when HD is off, especially 104.3 and 95.5 from NY.
Don't you mean 104.5 and 95.7?
WMGK’s HD-2 (oldies) is still broadcasting.
I was referring to when 104.3 and 95.5 are off in NY that I receive those stations
All HDs still off since April 2nd just RDS on main signal...is this permanent.
I was wondering why I haven't recieved WKVP during the last few tropo sessions. Last Monday 5/27, I got WYPO Ocean City, MD in one room and WCCC Hartford, CT in another room instead.
I guess you could pretend WCCC is WKVP since both are KLOVE!
I could, but I heard the WCCC's legal ID that day.
Even the 102.9's are the same format. and now the 96.5 frequency
With WKVP's weaker signal, the chances of receiving WAFX "106.9 The Fox" Suffolk, VA may have gotten better. It will be a challenge because of WYPO Ocean City, MD, but under the right tropo conditions, WAFX may be doable.
It appears WKVP is now back at full power. I was passing by 106.9 on my HD radio last night in Wilmington and it popped in with an HD signal and all the other HD's were in as well. They were the weakest Philly area station all summer as I couldn't even get a stereo signal. Not sure when this occurred as I'm not a regular listener to the station. Maybe it a Christmas present to all it's listeners.

Back on Long Island's very south shore was a terrific spot for coastal tropo reception. When I lived there. Still is, in fact, as evidenced by the only two L.I. buddies I know. He and she have turned into more of FM DXers than I ever was.
Could be they don't have much of a choice, lol. A school district two villages away had actual Fog Days for students before I'd moved to PA. And we know how stagnant weather has a habit of squatting for days. A non-DXing 'ex' told me she once was getting a 'Wavy TV 10' one afternoon. And she was inland more. But Long Island is only ten miles wide where she lived; a virtual flat stretch of beach.....
At any rate, one overnight several of us were listening, indoors, not too far from shore. Now, I understand that salt water has very little to to with warping FM propagation, but we were, at the time anyway, clear of most coastal land juts. We were getting scant NYC on FM but the dial was filled with virtually every FM signal from Norfolk/Tidewater. The pilot flare was country WCMS 100.5. Toward the fluttering and yawning end of it all we even heard what was then, iIrc, K-94 (93.7), and licensed to Elizabeth City NC, almost 50 miles to the south of Norfolk.
Your listening target The Fox should indeed be more than doable, WKVP and WMGK notwithstanding, on such occasions. Happy hunting and Happy New Year!
