590 is likely Toronto

900 is probably CHML Hamilton. I've heard that under the Canton 900 (which I think is still off the air) in the daytime.

1030 is likely WUFL Sterling Hts. MI - I often used to hear their signoff under WBZ. They have (or at least used to) a religious format.

1250 is probably Pittsburgh.

Your bandscans are great, thanks!

The 610 might be from St. Catharine's, Ontario. Get northeast of Cleveland and I think that owns the channel.
I remember being parked at a restaurant across from Cleveland's airport last September waiting to go into a wedding there and hearing something fairly significant under 610. Puzzled because I was so close to Columbus, eventually I figured out it was harmonics from 1220. But I highly doubt that it's where you are, both because of the distance from 1220's tower *and* its directional pattern away from you.
 
It also always strikes me how well the Detroit stations come in where you are. Granted you have the all-water path, but having gone to college in Toledo - considerably closer to Detroit than you - and being behind all those nulls, I didn't listen to much Detroit radio outside 760 (which then had the Tigers) and 1130 for Rome. WDFN really kills its signal toward Toledo.
Also, neat to hear an oldie on WOWO, even though it was just a Rush bumper!
 
The 1690 ??? is likely WVON Chicago.

Agree... I was going to say the same thing. They sometimes get out really well via daytime skywave. I've heard them during daylight hours pretty much all over the midwest (and adjacent southwest Ontario). Not an everyday occurance however.

As for CFZM, I've heard them midday on a car radio as far south as Zanesville, OH.
 
You have amazing groundwave coverage on land there in northern Ohio.

The Chicago stations sound great for roughly 300 miles.

And it was interesting to hear that weather forecast given in Celsius.

At first, I thought "What? How cold does it get up there this time of year?" :eek:

Great video!
