    Living here in Queens, K-Joy 98.3 is now your typical listen-while-you-work fare. Love that you recorded these tropo openings from philly. Reminds me where I’m from and hearing these stations that are far away.

    Does AM radio still operate like that where you can pick up other radio stations late night

      @DrewTechner  2 месяца назад +2

      Yes. These are all FM stations picked up late at night.

      @@DrewTechner why do AM stations have to lower there power at night and FM stations don't have to I'm just wondering

      @@genegjr At night, the E layer of the ionosphere thickens up and acts like a mirror reflecting AM radio waves hundreds and thousands of miles. FM stations are higher frequency in the VHF band. They are not usually reflected by the ionosphere. On these recordings, I heard these stations far because of tropospheric ducting due to a heat inversion, a weather-related phenomenon. It happens in the summer when there is a high pressure system.

      I can't see any of the 3 replies it says are here, and I've tried everything, including going back and forth on the newest button. This is ridiculous, RUclips!
