FM Radio Log
receiving the world One of my hobbies involves the long distance reception of FM radio stations. This is a list of stations that I have received here in Smithfield, NC. The Smithfield area is in range during sporadic E-skip of stations from Canada, and part of the Carribean, as well as a large part of the United States. We also often experience tropospheric bending (a lower atmospheric refraction) which allows reception of stations over hundreds of miles. The E-skip (refraction of radio signals by the ionesphere) only happens occasionally (sporadic). It is more like during peaks in the sun spot cycle, every 11 years, and may be linked to strong thunderstorms that produce a type of lightning that may affect the upper atmosphere (sprites).
