FM Bandscan - Oswego NY - June 2012

S

spunker88

Finally got around to uploading a bandscan I did last summer at a friend's house just outside of Oswego, NY. I was using an indoor VHF dipole for the antenna. I imagine a better outdoor antenna would bring the Rochester stations in HD. The fact that the XDR-F1HD can pull in stations on the adjacents on 105.5 and 106.5 is pretty amazing since you can almost see the towers from his house.

Here is the list of stations, unfortunately the formatting got messed up. On some channels I was able to get multiple stations by moving around the antenna.

Nice! I enjoy seeing these full bandscans. I see Petersborough made it in on 98.7, that's pretty cool. I was surprised to not see Toronto stations (other than Cobourg 103.1, which is an eastern GTA station) anywhere on your list though. My brother passed through the Finger Lakes region of WNY on his way back from Connecticut in July 2012 and noted Toronto, especially CHBM 97.3 blasting in.

I tried to do this at a time with low tropo enhancement so you'd get an idea of the regular band conditions, and this is inside with a dipole antenna, although I was by a window. The problem is a lot of frequencies are already full with stations, leaving less room for DX/tropo frequencies. Buffalo and Toronto should be quite easy there with tropo, in fact I was getting 95.9 from Ajax on my car radio that day, thanks to WAQX for not running HD.
