Congratulations on your nice catch! I'm guessing they were on 10kw day pattern, judging from the Radio-Locator maps.
Nice catch!
KSEN had a major technical problem Friday night. We found out Saturday afternoon that in the process of the automated day to night pattern switch, the array got all hosed up, stuck somewhere unknown in the middle running gosh only knows what pattern and that also caused power to drop.. 280 watts forward and 190 watts reflected. Thats why only Bruce in Seattle and Bjarne Melde in Norway heard it on Friday night!!
Hmm. Does that mean that the test actually saved them from having a problem during regular hours?
We ought to suggest to stations that a test can be used to test all kinds of not usually checked things all at one time while giving a chance to DXers to log them!
Maybe get a testimonial from engineers who tested for NRC / IRCA that the test was a good way to check everything out all at once.
In a way, yes.... when the DX test wasnt being heard worth a hill o'beans past midnight Friday into Saturday morning, the engineer checked and saw there was a problem...... if there had been no dx test, he wouldn't have noticed right away. Someone would've picked up on it in shorter order, most likely over the weekend or early in the next week.
KSEN did just finish up repairs on their night array after things got damaged awhile back
CFYM 1210 Kindersley, Saskatchewan. 250 Watts at 1840 miles.
1042pm AK Time (McGrath, Alaska, 230 miles Northwest of Anchorage)
Golden West Broadcasting’s corporate engineer Luverne Siemens confirms my reception of CFYM 1210. He checked the local locally at the station since there’s a gap in the online recently played log.
Here's the audio of Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone"

Nice catch!
My father used to play with his guitar band on WREO, as in Ransom E. Olds, and the original REO Speedwagon, 1300? in Lansing, MI back in the 1920s. It was 500 watts Daytime and Nighttime, and they used to get fan mail/reception reports from Montana! He stopped doing the radio gigs when he got a raise at his "Daytime job".
Nice catch! That one is tough enough in Pensacola.....without having WBBM in your "back yard".
KGYN 1210 Guymon, OK made the 2900 mile trip to McGrath, Alaska on Friday November 20th, 2020 at 849pm AK Time (2 hours behind central time). I was using a CC Skywave portable radio and a Gary DeBock 5" FSL Loop

I've heard KGYN in the Chicago area myself. The station does get out.
I was on the Central New Jersey SDR yesterday afternoon after it was already nighttime there and I found out Cousin Brucie is back on WABC!
He sounds just like he used to and was playing some good songs from the 60's and with all the old sounders and jingles too.
His show is Saturday Nights from 6 to 9 pm.
