Aurora/northern lights DX in full swing with a new one 2/20/14

C

crainbebo

I just got a new log from this northern lights DX that we are having. First big Aurora of the season!
1440 – KVON Napa, CA; ID “1440 KVON” and mention of the Napa Valley under KMED at 1717 PT 2/20. NEW #577, 5KW, 580 miles.

1400 is nothing but an Asian station (KVON?), 1450 ditto (KEST?), 1490 Reg. Mexican may be Petaluma CA; 1240 Big Band likely Au-beacon KNRY under KXLE Ellensburg. 540 KVIP and 830 KNCO/KLAA mix also noted.

And #2 and #3 new ones of the night...

950 – KAHI Auburn, CA; promo for the Sacramento Kings “AM 950 KAHI (which sounded like K-High) is proud to be your home of the Sacramento Kings” at 1740 PT 2/20. NEW #578, 5KW, 533 miles. Over/under UNID Spanish station (likely XEKAM w/ Radio Formula, needed)

ALSO:
1230 - KSGG Reno, NV; tuned in right as they were mentioning Reno & Carson City, and into a horrible rap song (Wiz Khalifa "Black and Yellow"). The slogan is the worst EVER! "Swag 104.9" - yuck! But, NEW #579, 490 mi @ 820W! Aurora is rockin' the house tonight.

Now for your supreme 1440 test--KAZG in Phoenix, the lumberyard on a lamp timer with 50 watts of nighttime pow-pow-power! :)

Just out of curiosity, have you ever picked up anything out of Hawaii in your nearly 600 AM stations?
 
Now #4

1190 - KDYA Vallejo, CA; gospel song matching online playlist, "The Inspiration" IDs and no mention of a local ID, but the only possible match, over KEX. NEW #580, 3KW (daytimer on at night!!), 590 miles. I have wanted this one for many years and finally got it.

I am trying for pow-pow-power on 1440, but it's KMED and KVON so far. Conditions are good toward Northern CA and the Reno NV area. Have an UNID NBC Sports 10~Sixty which may be KDUS, but may also be the new KFOY in Reno on 250W. several other CA stations noted, these are just the new ones. Will post a full recap later.

A great new log and a milestone!!
1060 – XEEP Mexico City, DF!; old Spanish instrumental music at 1958 PT, matched to TuneIn stream!!! NEW #581, 20KW-night, 2,235 miles!! This is my first EVER Mexico City station. New Province for Mexico as well. I am very excited as this is my first ever 2000+ mile log in a long time.

HM Insulators - I have nothing from Hawaii so far in my 581 loggings. I have 3 Alaska stations however, 550 KTZN, 800 KINY and 930 KTKN.
