WEEI-FM 103.7 Booming into Brattleboro

[lesabre]

Now that Entercom took over the 103.7 frequency in the Providence area, did they have a tower move ? I was hearing WEEI-FM quite well in the Brattleboro Vt area, totally taking over , and splattering the WKNE 103.7 signal nearby in Keene.

Very interesting to listen to.

That was probably caused by tropo. I got stations from this area all the way in NJ the other day.<P ID="signature">______________

I visit the north end of Brattleboro quite often. I never have a problem with WTSA-FM 96.7 (AC) or WKVT-FM 92.7 (Classic Rock). However, WKNE-FM 103.7 is always a struggle with my Walkman. (Yes, I keep the Local/DX switch set to DX.)

Re: It was tropo

Yes there has been some really strong major tropo the last couple of days.
People all over the area reporting some wild catches.

I wonder if your KNE reception issues have to do with the fact that KNE's stick is Walpole. Walkmen aren't known for their sensitivity...at least any one I've ever owned.
