FM and TV DX

Basically DXing is the art scanning the airwaves for distant signals. There are many forms of DXing, including AM broadcast band, shortwave, FM broadcast band, and even TV DXing, to name a few.

Always, the goal is to pick up stations from as far away as you can. You are probably wondering how long distance tv and fm reception is possible, well it all depends on the weather and the seasons that effect signal propagation at different times of the year, we can enjoy almost every form of signal propagation known to exist.

FM signals sometimes get “ducted” over great distances by various weather phenomena. Signals sometimes bounce off of highly ionized patches in the ionosphere known as sporadic E clouds, enabling reception of signals from 1,500 miles and sometimes beyond. FM signals even bounce off the ionized trails left behind by meteors as they burn up in the atmosphere. with the right antenna setup anyone can receive long distance signals
