Hillsdale, MI bandscan (2-18-13)

L

Lawppy

I took a trip to Hillsdale, MI today to pay a couple bills and also did an impromptu DX'pedition. Conditions today were breezy, mild (40's) and partly cloudy skies. There was no tropo or enhancement to speak of. I will definitely return to Hillsdale in the summer months to try this again. The local stations are bolded.

And one DX note from the road. I copied 105.1 W286AU Kalamazoo, MI all the way up to high terrain about one mile west of the Hillsdale city limits. The 250 watt translator simulcasts WKPR-AM 1440 and it made it 56 miles before the terrain finally did this one in.
 
Yep, that's pretty much how I remember Hillsdale (although WNCI is a pretty impressive catch
way up there!)

WNCI had a killer signal when I lived in SW Ohio (Dayton area). Back in the 70's and 80's, it came in to Englewood, OH like a local where other Columbus FMs were very difficult to hear without using EXTREME measures like yagi antennas up 50-60 feet in the air.
 
The biggest surprise for me, other than WNCI, was hearing new sign-on WGNC from Constantine, MI over much closer WYSA from Wauseon, OH.
 
I remember when WNCI 97.9-FM in Columbus was WRFD-FM. Back as far as 1961 (not long after it came on the air), I picked the station up with a Silvertone (sold at Sear's) FM electric radio using just a TV rabbit ears. This took place while I had it in an in-door lounge area of the dinning hall at Boy Scout Camp Friedlander near Miamiville, Ohio (about 12 miles east of downtown Cincinnati). That building was on the upper portion of the camp which no doubt aided reception.
