FM bandscan from Mountain View, Hawaii

[gar hi]

Had to do it quick because my battery for my video camera was about to run out.

And there aren't many stations.

But you still get a feel for what it's like tuning across the FM band here.

That's still a lot more than when I was out there as a teenager. The upper end of the band was not available for commercial broadcasting. Same goes for analog TV channels 5 aand 6. IIRC, those channels and the upper half of FM was reserved for the military.....even though they weren't using it.

There not much on FM, I wonder if you can get e-skip there

Unfortunately, no.

But I've heard claims of tropo between here and the west coast.
