The power was out for most of yesterday afternoon, so I decided to go around the dial multiple times.
The local 101.5, normally running a 250W STA, was off completely. 101.5 was a dogfight between at least three different stations. WJNR Iron Mountain (which I had gotten before) was dominant if one was. WIBA Sauk City, WI was in (new!) and WNSN South Bend, IN was also in (I had received it at the Ludington rest area a couple of months ago).
These catches weren't brought in by stations being off; just good old tropo brought them in:
89.3 - WGNB Zeeland (no WPNE!)
90.5 - WPHN Gaylord (matches local 91.1, WPFF gone!)
102.1 - WMUK Kalamazoo (trying to come in under WRKU)
103.3 - WKFR Battle Creek (heard ID for them in 103.3 mess)
104.3 - WOMC Detroit (200+ miles!)
104.7 - WKJC Tawas City (another English language station was coming in with a commercial under WYKX, and of the only other candidates, one is Spanish and the other is noncommercial)
