Hearing Minnesota's Classic Rock Station Instead of XTU...In NJ...What the Hell?

It works both ways..... This is basically what I posted on the Arkansas board today...

So I'm pulling out of Russellville's finest men's clothing store, and I am having trouble listening to 103.7 The Buzz because some other station is overlapping...

The station was the next adjacent on 103.5, which there is none in Arkansas. They were talking about who the Nationals face tonight and Beltway traffic.

It was WTOP in Washington, DC. Forgive me for being such a geek, but I had to pull into River Valley Radio's studios and get some fellow radio people out in the parking lot to hear this so I could make sure I wasn't dreaming this up.

Then another station began to bleed over... "Big Classic Rock, 98.5 and 103.5"... A Google search shows this station to be a CLASS A 6kw FM out of Ocean City, MD.

I went down to 102.9 FM... KARN was in a news update, and walking all over it was "102.9 MGK..." This would be a classic rocker in Philadelphia....

Down to 99.7 FM... "107-1 and 99-7 FM, The Breeze" WBHX Tuckerton, NJ. 5600 watt CLASS A!!!

98.1 FM was the LEGANDARY WOGL in Philly...

I was a little surprised to hear the number of Class A stations that were coming in over all the Class C and Class B stations on those frequencies.

Dang, you got the Breeze in Arkansas on 99.7? I'm about 18 miles from the TX, and sometimes it isn't great here! Interesting that the class A's were traveling such great distances...and 99.7 is on a very short stick, actually a telco microwave relay tower, maybe 100 feet above average terrain.

Really good openings of late!

Yeah, I heard something like that too ... listening to 950 WPEN. Their signal went, uh, straight into the ground.

A lot like their ratings...
