Radio in Sterling

Stations pinned where you would find them on the dial. Marker height tracks transmitter power. A station appears here because its signal reaches this place — not because it is licensed to this town.

Plays each in turn and moves on automatically if one does not respond. Skip advances early.

Reach method: nominal class radius — a coarse stand-in. Swap in the FCC contour polygons and this page gets materially more honest.
