A little bit of everything and at least 7 new logs (6 Es, 1 Tr)!
10:42AM - 102.9 KFNY Centralia, WA; with ID 'South Sound's Smooth Jazz Station, 102.9.' KYKV Selah, local K-LOVE on 103.1, completely off the air! Relog (not heard since they were Alt), 70KW at 123 miles.
10:59AM - 103.1 K276GF Pendleton, OR; very weak with promo for event in Athena, OR and weather forecast on 'AM 1240, the Ticket, FM 103.1.' NEW #649, 190W at 119 miles! Unfortunately, did not hear CHTT or KCDA, and I don't have either one of them.
11:02AM - UNID 103.1, K-LOVE with *KYKV* ID...is this my local on about 5-10w of power (basically extremely weak in certain outside spots) or is this K276EU Kennewick (supposed to be // KRKL but airing a KYKV ID instead?) The Kennewick translator is still needed, at 15 watts.
11:15AM - Very weak Es fadeups, 95.1 with Regional Mexican and faint female SS announcer (way too weak for any confirmation), also heard a brief 'Downtown' Lady Antebellum fade up that did NOT match either KFRG or KTTI; and a 95.3 with Regional Mexican likely Tijuana's La Caliente. There were a few Oregon-California 6m paths but the majority were CA-AZ/NM, a gigantic opening was going on at that time with a 2-meter MUF.
And now...the big evening opening:
7:30PM - 95.1 KOLZ Corrales, NM; very strong with ID 'Hot 95.1' after Chris Brown song, into 'I Wanna Sex You Up' Color Me Badd. Relog, 100KW at 1073 miles.
7:32PM - 97.7 KLVO Belen, NM; another strong one with ID 'Lobo 97.7' and Regional Mexican music. Relog, 98.4 KW at 1086mi.
7:36PM - Unid 103.7 with faint Spanish, likely KPZA Jal NM (already logged).
7:46PM - Unid 88.7 with old soft rock from the '70s, didn't recognize the song. KXNM plays this type of stuff, so likely them. Not needed.
7:48PM - 95.5 KLAQ El Paso, TX; 'on the Q' ID. Relog, 88KW at 1268 miles.
7:55PM - 90.7 KRWG Las Cruces, NM; 'support for programs on 90.7 FM and KRWG.org comes from...', quite strong over KNWR Ellensburg. NEW #650, 100KW at 1225 miles.
8:00PM - 96.3 KHEY El Paso, TX; second time in 6 days with TOH ID. Relog, 88KW at 1268 miles.
8:01PM - 96.1 KWRK Window Rock, AZ; once again, second time in 6 days with TOH ID for 96.1 and 99.5. Relog, 94KW at 967 miles.
8:13PM - 88.5 unID Classical music overtaking local (line-of-sight 6 miles away) KYVT! That's never happened before! This was probably KTEP El Paso, and still needed. At least I found a decent null point for KYVT out on my mobile run.
8:14PM - 92.3 KOFX El Paso, TX; ID '92.3 the Fox' over K222BP/KZUS. NEW #651, 98KW at 1267mi.
8:15PM - 99.9 KTSM-FM El Paso, TX; commercial for El Paso Auto Center over KHHK IBOC. NEW #652, 87KW at 1267 miles. MUF was 106.7 with unid English station, possibly Religious? Maybe the VCY station in Albuquerque.
8:24PM - 88.3 KPHF Phoenix, AZ; with the unmistakable voice of the late Harold Camping mixing with splatter from 88.1/88.5 locals. Relog, 22.5KW at 1003mi.
8:33PM - 98.3 XHPX Ciudad Juarez, CHI; fair with 'XHPX 98.3' calls by male announcer. Relog, 100KW at 1274 miles.
8:51PM - 95.7 KWKM Show Low, AZ; ID 'Power 95.7-Hot FM.' Relog, 100KW at 1029mi.
9:00PM - 95.1 KNUW Santa Clara, NM; weak 'KNUW' calls at TOH. NEW #653, 7.7KW at 1151mi
9:06PM - Unid 90.7 with announcer presenting classical piece, under KNWR Ellensburg. Possibly KNAA? Uploading clip.
9:07PM - 93.5 KZUZ Show Low, AZ; with ID 'Wild West Country on 93.5...Show Low...' in beautiful, crisp and clear MONO (sarcasm). NEW #654, 25KW at 1018mi.
9:14PM - 97.3 XHSOS Agua Prieta, SON; ID 'La Ranchera 97.3' preceded by political ad (I presume). NEW #655, 25KW at 1207mi.
9:18PM - 96.5 KDAP Douglas, AZ; ID 'part of the KDAP family.' Relog, 3KW at 1206mi,
9:19PM - 93.9 KMGN Flagstaff, AZ; mention of Downtown Flagstaff and start of community calendar segment. Relog, 96KW at 932 miles.
9:26PM - 97.7 KAVV Benson, AZ; ID 'Cave 97.7,' and did they really say 'hate us on Facebook'?! Listen for yourself...Relog, 6KW at 1151mi.
For the next 10-15 minutes or so, I went back inside and the Es cycled between the 96.5/97.3/97.7 in S AZ + Agua Prieta before fading. A DXer in Phoenix had both KHHK-99.7 and KFFM-107.3 in Yakima (and the later actually mixed with 100W LPFM KTNH-LP in Walla Walla for a few minutes!!) but I didn't get much from Phoenix, from my view it was completely skipped except for a couple minutes of KPHF.
