Post your latest DX

BRazil's 11780 transmitter thats upwards of 50 years old is having issues., Twice in 3 days, its popped off way too early.. 2 days ago, it came back up in 10 minutes... tonight, with 50 minutes left in their schedule, it went off and stayed off. 6180 remained on.
 
Some observations from last week's Montana trip:

The Billings signals are massive! I noted them just as I crossed over Homestake Pass, 105.9 KWMY, 106.7 KPLN, and KCHH 95.5 along with a few others. 190 miles or so.
Just before Butte, there are a few areas where Idaho Falls FMs are in and out. Noted KLRI-89.5, KWFI-96.1 and KLCE-97.3. Roughly 170 miles from the Hwy 1/I-90 exit that goes to Anaconda.
Some regional DX from the Red Lodge area: KZIN-96.7 Shelby (250 miles), KIKC-101.3 Forsyth, KLFM-92.9 Great Falls plus KMON-94.5, KQPZ-95.9 (Lewistown), KYPH-88.5 Helena, and (definitely not Es, had aircraft scatter fade) KUAO-88.7 North Ogden UT with Air 1, 290 miles!

On Monday, I did have a bit of Es as I was leaving Red Lodge and heading towards Columbus MT for home. Noted KXLU-88.9 Los Angeles w/ RDS and ethnic music, mixed with KTLW Lancaster (Air1). Also: KKJZ-88.1 Long Beach CA, and KAWF-88.5 Selma CA, another Air1 station. And had one of the Air1s on 92.7 from Southern CA (can't ID without RDS PI), plus a tentative KRRL 92.3 L.A.
There was also meteor scatter noted on 94.9, KLRJ Aberdeen SD, with K-LOVE matching 90.9 Billings (530 miles), and CJSI-88.9 Calgary with a slam-dunk Shine FM ID! About 460 miles on that one.

I also had the 96.1 Roswell NM station (KPQN, regional Mexican) passing through Belgrade MT.

I have recordings from Sunday and Monday that need to be digitized soon.
