FM Night bandscan from Vermilion, OH 3-7-12

Here are 2 more FM quick bandscans one during tropo to SE Lower Michigan and another during an e-skip opening back in May 2011:

In the one with e-skip I was able to ID '93.7 the Arrow' as KKRW/Houston, TX. The station on 102.5 with religious programming was e-skip from an unknown location and I suspect 91.7 was e-skip reception too. Both scans were recorded in Vermilion, OH.

Here we hear CBBL on 100.5, which was mysteriously missing in your previous scan. 99.9 'The Fox' is from Sarnia ON (replacing WKKO Toledo heard in previous post). If London is coming in, there's a very good chance that 103.9 is Woodstock Ontario's CKDK 'More 103.9'.

More than likely it was WKCQ from Saginaw, MI, as he had several other stations from the Tri-Cities region of Michigan on this same scan.

Today on 98.9 I was getting a station calling itself "CD 98.9" here in Vermilion, OH. Sounded like an AC format station.

That's CHCD Simcoe, ON. Looks like a 175 mi (280 km) hop!

Buckeye,

That was indeed CHCD out of Simcoe, ON. An AC station known as CD 98.9, Norfolk's (Norfolk County, Ontario-- Home of Simcoe) Best Mix. They happen to be my farthest most regular catch in Coldwater, MI. I think Lake Erie, coupled with open frequency helps that one out.

Can youpick up WKDD on 98.1 out of Munroe Falls, OH??

Yes, WKDD is what I usually hear on 98.1 and with a pretty decent signal here but sometimes Defiance's 98.1 takes over or the one heard in the scan.
