Great DX right now

P

phils07

Right now, I am in Fort Washington, and can get 95.1 WAYV, 96.9 WFPG, 103.7 WMGM, 105.7 The Hawk, 104.9 WSJO, and 107.3 WPUR. They are all pretty clear. I am enjoying 103.7 WMGM rocks now ;D
 
The east tropo is gone now. Now, I have tropo from the west. WDAC is taking out WPST in Fort Washington. On my insignia HD radio, the HD is showing up. Also, WXCY is showing up on 103.7. WMHX 106.7 is coming in too.
 
I am in Northern Chester County and last evening I got all the New York City (most in HD w/their side channels) & most of the Atlantic City stations. Also some from Connecticut like WEBE 108.

First time catches were:
92.1 WLNG Sag Harbor NY
95.9 WFOX Norwalk CT. The Fox
107.7 WWRX Ledyard Center CT. Jammin 1077

This was on a Sony XDR-S10HDiP Radio. This past weekend I was in Best Buy and they had 1 Insigna Portable HD player with the color touch screen sitting on a bottom shelf with other miscellaneous stuff.....first time I saw one of these....so I bought it, have not had time to play with it yet though.
 
How times have changed...I remember as a kid (and a little as an adult), DXing to AM stations when I lived in Chester County. WCFL, WLS, WRVA, KSL...all on the AM band. They were a million miles away in my mind.
 
There's a big difference with AM and FM DX. AM stations are expected to be heard far away at night. FM stations are expected to stay inside their own market. Last night's tropo was great, bringing in the Richmond stations to NJ. I even got Q94.5 in HD (that would likely be easy to get since their analog power is 200,000 watts).
 
Driving once in the middle of east bumble...er, nowhere in north/central PA I picked up some station from Florida. Took a few seconds to figure out at first why the weather forecast was making no sense (and sounding much more appealing).
 
Is this why I'm having trouble getting WMMR clearly in Paoil? I have not been able to lock onto an HD signal from the mighty 'MMR since last week on the HD radio in my kitchen.
