Oakville, Ontario FM Bandscan Pt. 1 - 87.7-99.9 - June 23, 2017 - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jun 24, 2017
DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to not only the first FM bandscan I've done on my Grundig radio, but also the first one I've done outside the US! This was shot on the first day of my 2.5-month stay in Toronto for a summer internship. (All stations listed are licensed to communities/municipalities in the province of Ontario, unless otherwise specified.) Also with these videos, I have started adding format and moniker descriptions, as well as transmitter location relative to my location (as the crow flies). (The transmitter locations will soon be added to my other scans.)

As for all of my bandscan videos, this is for nonprofit, educational purposes only per fair use policy.
