92-9 NIN Wichita Falls has destroyed Z93 Dayton on an SDR in Greenville, Ohio. WGTZ is 21 miles away from the site operator. Demolishing them like an EF4 tornado. Unbelievable, historic E-skip, much like 7/6/2004.
MUF is STILL at NOAA band and there's close to 2 dozen stations logged by DXers across the eastern 2/3rds of the U.S.
The last 30 minutes have been OK, TX and NM into that same receiver...with more locals wiped out across the board. Dozens of stations, ranging from KSMX-107.5 Clovis NM to much of the Dallas radio market, Abilene full-quieting on 107.9 Rock 108 KEYJ, KEAN 105.1, KNTU-88.1, goes on and on. Lots of religious and country FMs and some SS.

'
On the left tower, KUWR 91.9 Laramie, WY 100kw at 1100 feet. It's top 8 bays. KLWV 90.0 Chugwater, WY (KLove) shares an antenna with KUWR.
KUWY 88.5 with 135 Watts is the 3 bay thats on the other side of the tower from KKUWR.
the 2nd from the bottom with a radome cover on it is KUWL with 110 Watts.
The bottom radome is K278CM 103.5, 250 watts which relays a KUWR HD Channels all music format
The 8 bay on the right tower is KCGY 95.1 Laramie, WY with 100kw. The 2 bay is an auxiliary for KLWV 90.9
Behind my back in this pic would be K201HM 88.1, KTDX 89.3 and KRQU 98.7
The 4 Bay is KTDX 89.3 Laramie, WY 450 watts at nearly 1200 feet. The single bay is KRQU 98.7 Laramie, WY with 110 Watts at nearly 1100 feet. The one bay dipole is K201HM

Wow so I was just hearing audio from that site here in Upstate S.Carolina at 8:08 p.m. eastern time tonight. š Funny how with 91.1 WYFG tower (BBN) within line of sight to my location only a few miles away.
With those charged/ionized E-layer clouds being halfway between the listener (me) and the DX station, Aren't E-Skip conditions usually reciprocal by location? If so then someone in Wyoming or West Kansas / Minnesota / Sioux Falls / Upper Midwest should simultaneously be able to hear stations in (or not far from) my area, while I was hearing stations from there.
Earlier this evening, I saw an SDR in Central Wisconsin was turned to and receiving stations (E-Skip) from the South Carolina and Georgia coast.
Also nice to see those MUFs up to 165 MHz today

KS, MO, IA, and IL FM stations were wreaking havoc in Lebanon, PA. I didnāt have much time to scan, but positively IDād two and kind of a third:
-96.3 KERP āThe Marshallā Ingalls, KS
-93.9 KSOU Sioux Center, IA
-96.7 K-Love - found a few class A K-Love stations from Illinois, but no legal ID to confirm which, if either one.

I had a brief, weak but INTERESTING night in far SE Wyoming. Everything I had was from southern Louisiana between 715 and 815pm MT tonight (Fri July 24th). Ruston/Bastrop/Monroe/New Orleans and it didnt get above 91mhz
BUT I had a "pop" sounding spike on 92.7 that kept coming in an hour a little after most of Louisiana had faded.. and it faded up right during a commercial once... for a blinds/shutters company.. the company name and stress address were heard well but with enough static that it made it hard to find.
Sounded like "Labbidy blinds..... 1025 something boro road........... uptown hyde park"
Turns out this was CJBX-FM London, Ontario! The business in question? Labadie Blinds, 1025 Gainsboro road in the uptown Hyde Park neighborhood!

Nice catch from Ontario, Paul! 99% of those Es signals wouldn't have affected me at my new place in Montana had I already moved. Just too far away from the Big Sky.
The ionosphere is white, scorching hot right now! I would love nothing more than Es every day until the Perseids shower peak. This could go down as one of the greatest sporadic-E seasons on record for FM DX in North America.
And YES...high band DTV was confirmed today! Someone in Nebraska got WUSA-DT 9 in DC on Es, confirmed PSIP lock. And a report of KOCO Oklahoma City into Ohio today...KOCO is on RF 7 (of course, virtual 5). WOW!

i was like.. HYDE PARK? That sure as heck doesnt sound like lousiana.
I was trying to search blinds companies using the street address and it wasnt until i told a friend what the comp[any name sounded like and mentioned uptown hyde park that we figured it out
The skip did make it to the West Coast late last night. And it's a rarer path (for this season at least). All relogs.

@crainbebo if you have audio or picture, send a note on KLJZ reception to [email protected] shes the OM there and i know shed love to hear from you
Brief Es 88.7 CFWR Red Deer, AB, Can with Adam Gregory "Horseshoes" 548pm MT 7/25 in far SE Wyoming. Like a 20 second fade up, that I was banking on not being a car modulator thingymaboob... and I new country on 88.7 would likely be north of the border so this wasn't hard match top a stream while the song was still playing. Faded back up about 16 minutes later for like 10 seconds with radio bingo
Brief ES "Smile FM" on 88.3, 627pm MT 7-25-26 in far SE WY .. a brief fade up with the station name and maybe a few bits of a song. They have 4 88.3 signals, it was likely the Marquette one
