How possible is it to hear Boston radio stations from New Haven?
Ok. I basically know how radio waves work. But, last night, just west of New Haven, Ct, I picked up an FM station from Vermont that was 100s of miles away at 88.1 I would like to pick up some stations out of Boston, such as 88.9 WERS. The strongest signal around CT at that part of the dial is WPQN at 89.5, so how would or could I go about picking up 88.9 out of Boston. I know this is highly unlikely, but lets say somehow their transmitter was powerful enough…what could i do to try to pick them up?
Definitly, radio raves are transmitted through the air as a conductor and if you’re in close enough range of Boston, you could pick up on those waves, ESPECIALLY if you have a god radio system. Also, I don’t know why but when it rains near my house, I can pick up on Boston stations and I live in RI. What could help you pick up out of state stations also wrap alluminum foil on the antena, lmao, it sounds crazy but it always helps me, lol.

FM long distance signals are delivered by tropospheric enhancement and sporadic e-skip.
If the signals are not making it to you, you will not be able to hear them. Don’t matter how great of a receiver you have.

The first link is self explanatory. The second is a data base of all different resources for electronic goods.
Enjoy it.

Here’s the site for 88.9

You can listen to it, record it for later listening all you want through streaming. But you probably knew that already
OR
if you’d like to receive the signal at home the very best FM antenna I know of for the price is the TERK FM 4000

It’s pretty pricy on this website, but I’seen it for as low as $22 on others — try ebay
I understand that TERK also makes some good signal reception boosters (antennas) for your car — sorry out of time — hope that helps
