Ducting (skip) on upper VHF TV channels, UHF TV and FM this Monday morning

[Paul Hopfgarten]

Ch 12 is also PBS in Maine, so it could also have been (WMEB?) though the
orientation does seem to be South..

The band was hopping.  The Channel 12 and 13 PBS
stations you saw were WHYY/12 Wilmington, DE
(Philadelphia) and WNET/13 Newark, NJ (New York).  The
trop was not that as strong as predicted.

However, I did pretty well myself..... (at around
9:00AM)
WCBS/2  NY (under local WGBH)
WFSB/3  CT (common here)
WNBC/4  NY (under local WBZ)
WNYW/5  NY (under local WCVB)
WTTG/5  DC (under local WCVB)
WJLA/7  DC (under local WHDH)
WABC/7  NY (under local WHDH)
WTNH/8  CT
WUSA/9  DC (fighting with WMUR)
WPIX/11 NY
WPHL/17 PA (with good ol' Jerry Springer)
WNYE/25 NY (under local WFXT)
WGTW/48 PA

And had local reception of WPFW/89.3 Washington
(Pacifica Radio in the Nation's Capital), where the
talk show host scolded the caller after the caller
said "Let's kill those Iraqi ?$#@&^*"", after which
the host cut the caller off immediately and said "This
station will not tolerate swears and condone such
actions.  If you feel that way, go on YOUR time and
sign up, otherwise......".  He was obviously he was
peeved!
