NASCAR and Police Scanners

Just a few weeks ago the 2021 NASCAR season kicked off, what a perfect time for a blog entry about NASCAR. I’ve only been to a few tracks, New Hampshire, Las Vegas, and now Charlotte Motor Speedway.

This is when I started to get some interest in Dxing. One day I stumbled across 94.9 WHOM. I remember the first time I heard them do their Top of hour ID “biggest FM radio station in North America covering 5 states and parts of Canada” I was like wow! This 50,000 watts station transmits atop Mount...
