This is probably a good day to find out. There's a lot of E-skip on the FM band today. Just before noon, I clearly heard WMFE, Orlando, FL, at 90.7 -- and a lot of other distant signals were coming in, trashing the signals of many of the semi-local stations I generally receive clearly in Oswego.


: You know, "E-skip" - that phenomenon when it's really hot and muggy in the summer, and channel 2 comes in even worse than usual, you tune to channel 3 and see stations from far away for like 30 seconds at a time. I've seen stations from Memphis and San Antonio come in. One atmospheric level bounces the signal and another below it becomes just the right thickness, so a signal gets bounced around like a ping pong ball fired into a drop ceiling, until it pops out somewhere.

: Will that still work with digital signals?
