How far can you actually hear an FM radio signal?
I am not talking about streaming, of course. I mean, actually on the radio, and listening to a station from Tampa in Washington state, or catching a signal from the dunes of Cape Cod in the desert of Nevada.
Or how about across the Atlantic, with FMs from North America traveling to Europe.
Is any of this actually possible? Yes!
In fact, at the time I write this, the 2025 Sporadic-E season is getting into full swing. There was quite a bit of activity in eastern North America on June 3.
Intrigued? I’ve got some historical precedent and examples to share!
