The FM band is the mostly widely listened to band, more than 75% of radio listeners are
listening to 88-108 Mhz. The most attractive reason is its high quality stereo sound, and its
great resistance to spark interference, such as lightning and florescent light hum.
FM stations usually service between 20-100 miles,
depending on wattage and transmitter antenna height. Occasionally a rare phenonmenum called
sporadic reception or skip occurs, which can bring in a station from as far as 2,000 miles. Notice
below stations from St.Louis and Texas. This type of long distance reception is very rare and
is noted by (*skip). Another type of long distance radio reception called troposheric ducting,
which is also rare, but when it does occur it brings you a look into a whole other city’s radio.
Rare long-range sporadic reception of this type is noted with (* troposphere duct). This
type of propagation can occur any time of the year, but most often occurs during the summer,
and is greatest during high sunspot periods. Tropospheric ducting brings in stations such as: WYHY (107.5), WSIX (97.9),
and WLAC (105.9) all from Nashville, TN on almost a daily basis during the summertime. Other
stations such as WQLT (107.3) from Florence/Muscle Shoals,
AL also comes by the way of troposheric ducting.
All radio stations listed below were received within Cobb County, GA (most at a location 5 miles east of Town Center Mall) between 1987 and 2002 with Call letters or non-id’s verified. If interested in DX’ing the FM band, you can get more information on where stations originate from www.fcc.gov or you may want to purchase a book containing complete info about broadcasting stations, such as FM Atlas by Bruce F. Elving (from FM Atlas Publishing, PO Box 336, Esko MN, 55733-0336), or the M Street Radio Directory , (edited Robert Unmacht from M Street Corporation, 54 Music Square East, Suite 201, Nashville, TN 37203, ã 2000.
