Fewer distant stations coming in this morning – reception is a lot closer to the typical mid-afternoon lineup. However, Columbia and Hannibal/Quincy area stations are still coming in stronger this morning. All the usual set plus KZZT, KOQL and KTXY in Mid-Missouri, and the usual set plus WQUB, KICK and WGEM in Hannibal/Quincy.
TV scanning matches this as I’m seeing KHQA (7), KOMU (8), WGEM (10) and KRCG (12) on the high VHF band. UHF reception so far is unchanged from normal.
I’m getting NPR on 89.3 (WIPA), 90.3 (WQUB), 90.7 (KWMU), 91.3 (KBIA), and 91.9 (either WSIU or WIUS).
There’s also a mess of very weak signals on 93.3, normally an open channel with nothing but steady static.
Will of course update this if something changes, assuming of course that I have time to scan at my work desk. I’ll probably stay tuned to 93.3 for a while to see if that frequency opens up at all.
Update 7:58 AM: one of the stations on 93.3 is WPBG Peoria.
Update 7:59 AM: on the TV side, KNLJ 20 (Jefferson City) is showing up.
