TV STATIONS PULLED IN

R

Rob

I pulled in several TV stations that I can't ID

Here in Fort Walton Beach, FL using a cheap phillips antenna

Channel 25
Channel 26
Channel 28
Channel 42 (APTV Colour Bars)
Channel 43 (APTV Colour Bars)
Channel 55 (show with an ID tagger at the right..too snowy to ID)
Channel 66 UNKNOWN

What exactly is APTV anyway?

-Rob
 
Let me make some guesses--
25--WXXV FOX in Biloxi
26--long shots, WGNO/ABC/New Orleans or WAIQ/PBS/Montgomery
28--FOX in Panama City
42--WGIQ/PBS/Mobile
43--W-IQ/PBS Louisville AL (near Dothan)
55--former WB affil in Gulf Shores (Mobile-Pensacola) AL, may be CW or MY now
66--WLGA/CW/Columbus GA
 
Slightly off topic

Is it normal for 97.5 WABB "The Gulf Coast's #1 Hit Music Station" from Mobile, AL, or any other Gulf coast station, to cover 250 miles day and night along the Gulf coast?
I remember hearing WABB clearly all day long for many days in New Orleans.
 
Nick, Robb and I are both in the Florida panhandle on the Gulf. There is almost always tropo from here to New Orleans and further to Baton Rouge, and often beyond. I'm some 70 miles east of WABB Mobile, AL so it makes sense that they would be quite strong in New Orleans under the normal conditions. From here in Fort Walton Beach, FL I can hear 92.3, 97.1, 101.9 and 105.3 from New Orleans every day, usually quite strong.
 
When I lived near beautiful (?!) Pascagoula, MS, I could hear WRBQ/Tampa almost every day. That's 400 miles, straight over the water.

104.7 was quite clear, save for some co-channel from the Pascagoula (then) Class A. I am sure that helped.

I know every time I go down to Orange Beach, AL, 94.5 from Panama City is ALWAYS picking up, even on my walkman. Arrow 95.9 usually is too, through the splatter of WRKH 96.1, but this year it didn't, except for a minute when WRKH went off the air. On the way back home up I-65. I don't think I lost WZNF 95.3 Lumberton MS (Gulfport / Biloxi) until mile marker 102 (where I switched over to WXFX 95.1 Montgomery). back in 98, I was down there during a nice opening, and got Tampa's 100.7 over the local 100,000 watt Arrow 100.7 from Pensacola (now WJLQ) while recording it. Always love the costal DXing, seems there is never a moment where something isn't coming in.
 
more stations:

6 NBC new orleans (possibly UHF digital) forgot CALL
56 PBS KIDS no ID, weak signal airing "feed the lions"
23 snowy signal UNKNOWN (WSRE off)
