Point Pleasant, NJ AM bandscan

[charlestondxman]

A few days ago, I did a band scan from Point Pleasant, NJ at around 4 in the afternoon. The band scan doesn't cover the entire band (only up to 1350 because of storage problems), but it's a good look at the crowded band there. It is about 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Here it is.

Im surprised how WHLI comes in as a local! Also surprised with how WABC was one of the weaker NYC signals..

Thanks for the video, charlestondxman!

I grew up listening to AM at the shore only a little south of there, so I really enjoyed that.

560 WFIL and 610 WIP from Philadelphia have better signals than I remember them being at the shore. I guess you have a better receiver than what I used way back then.

WABC is not nearly as strong as WFAN and WCBS because their transmitter is well inland in north Jersey while WFAN and WCBS are both out on Long Island which makes for most of the signal path being over saltwater. WOR is directional.

You got a real good signal on 1030 of WBZ which I also remember getting at the shore during their top 40 days. Their signal vanished not long after going a ways inland.
