Balta1701 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 7, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) wow, really? I was under the impression it drops off pretty quickly outside of the suburbs at night. I know it gets very staticy for me some nights and I'm in Hoffman Estates! Is WMVP = AM 1000? I've gotten a Bulls game to come in as far away as Eastern Tennessee on that station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2013 -> 03:15 PM) Night is the best time for an AM signal. normally yes, but many stations have to power down at night to not impeed on 50,000 watt stations.

Kyyle23 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 In 2000 I listened to WMVP at night when I was in the Upper Peninsula, and it was clear as a bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 There is a 50,000 watt clear channel station based out of Seattle. i wonder if there are restrictions on WMVPs signal headed out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 As Steve said, worst case scenario, you can listen to the Score. When I was in school - in Vermillion, SD, 515 miles away - I could pick it up on clear nights. It wasn't good quality, but that's a hell of a range. You should be pretty good throughout your trip if you can just put up with the Score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 MVP is not as good as the Score here on the other side of the Lake. But, it's still doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're somewhat directional, so you can pick things up in Ohio crystal-clear while struggling to get it in DeKalb or Champaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 7, 2013 -> 03:03 PM) I drive to the quad cities and a little into Iowa all the time, both on 80 and 88. You should get WMVP at least until the quad cities, if not a little further. No chance. Not at night. Their signal drops off precipitously with the sun. I grew up in Loves Park. Strong signal by day, worthless at night. I was on my way back on Saturday night - the signal was horses*** until about Randall Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
