Both Wisconsin signals originate from over 250 miles away, but do not come close to the distance record which is currently a tie between two Fort Dodge, Iowa stations. However, it is worth noting the power outputs of the two Wisconsin signals — 4,200 Watts and 12,000 Watts.
Checking NOAA Weather Radio at about 8:30 AM…
162.550 – KDO89 St. Louis with interference from other stations
162.500 – faint signal but cannot identify it as it is barely audible

Though I’ve run multiple TV scans, nothing out of the ordinary is coming in.
