Long Time No Post!

Hello all you DXers!  I haven’t posted in 4 years!  That’s just life being life, you know?  Life changes, geographic changes, and technology changes are just a few of the things that took me away from MWDX.  I will dabble when I can but a lot has changed.  I just moved to a multi unit building from a single family home.  Now there is a lot of RF/noise/interference from neighboring units as well as our own since we are also smart-homed to the hilt with devices.  The last thing I was really focusing on were LW NDB’s because the AM BCB bores me.  With their demise, I’m not sure what I can divert my attention to.  We’ll see.  When I have something worth posting, you’ll be the first to know!

 

That said, I did experience an interesting evening in the car on July 7th 2026.  I happened upon a window of FM band tropo here in eastern Massachusetts.  At 20:46 ET, 101.1 FM was overtaken by two battling stations.  The first was ESPN sports talk that included commercials for businesses in St Louis MO and “Popeyes Chophouse in Saint Rose, Illinois”.  Some quick research produced WXOS 101.1 FM Saint Louis MO.   The station it was battling with was classical music.  The only possible option I could find was WRR 101.1 Dallas TX.  I confirmed my assumption with the webstream.  Transmitter sites plotted on the map below.
