As a DXer, traveling is a fun way to see and hear what the radio dial is like in other areas. I visited the Providence, RI area in 2018. While leaving my hotel, a minor Sporadic E opening into the upper Midwest was heard on my car radio.
The log below represents the first logging of every signal I received in this area. Changes (i.e. new call letters, formats, etc.) observed in these signals upon subsequent visits to this area are noted in the “Information” column, where appropriate. RDS and HD Radio screenshots shown below may be from different loggings of the same station.
