.....Or maybe not.
I was out doing some work in the yard yesterday afternoon (Sunday 7/20) with my SRF 37 Walkman tuned to the modulator in the house, which currently broadcasts on 92.1. Normally I get a pristine signal anywhere in the yard. But at one point out by the street, the old oldie "Kansas City" by Wilbert Harrison, came crashing through.
I was able to hold the signal until the end of the song, which fortunately led into a break. But the break was just a promo for the station containing cuts from mostly 60s oldies....but no mention of the call letters or anything that would provide a clue to the COL. Then it was gone.
I later checked Radio-locator and found oldies stations among those occupying 92.1 in Louisiana, Virginia, New Jersey and Long Island, NY (the fairly well-known WLNG). Closer to home, there were two. One from Manitowoc, WI, and another from Warsaw, IN. Each roughly 125-150 miles away from me. The 92.1 that's closest....WEZY in Racine, WI, about 50 miles away....was nowhere to be found.
Any guesses?
