www.radioworld.com] Whelp, the closest that I could say that is bringing an AM / FM Walkman up into the Toronto CN Tower. What did I get??? RF overload from 102.1FM CFNY and the then 107.1FM CLIQ, (Q107), and whatever other stations were up there. Well, I was able to see the CFNY Auxiliary Studio there at least. Better luck, a decade later, being up on Corning, NY's, Quackenbush Hill, plugging-in my Standard C228A HT to a tower mounted Hygain Co-linear 2M antenna and with just 5W FM Simplex, making a contact to a station in Maryland during a mid-90's ARRL VHF Sweepsteaks. Thought that to be cool.
BTW, not FM, but setting up the I Am Radio transmitter and Antenna Tuning Unit, (ATU), I hooked-up the coax of that to the AM terminals of a late 1970's Realistic Stereo Receiver. The 'Q' of this ATU was very narrow, but normally 1600AM, from 20-some-miles-away in Milton, WV, I can receive, but not strong here. However, on the ATU, it pegged the receiver's meter. The ATU was tuned for 1620kHz. Still, neat to try.
