Wow what a big opening! I think I count 19 new ones for this opening.
7:50PM - first signs of Es with unid 88.9 classical
7:57PM - 96.1 CKX Brandon, MB; ad for CTV National News, TOH ID "96.1 Bob FM is CKX Brandon". NEW #299, 88.7KW, 974 miles.
8:00PM - 96.5 CJPG Portage La Prairie, MB; TOH ID mentioning "Mix 96" and Portage La Prairie. NEW #300! 24KW at 1049 miles.
8:12PM - 94.1 WIAL Eau Claire, WISCONSIN!!! Ad for Perkins followed by an ad for Shrek the Musical at the Eau Claire Performing Arts Center. NEW #301, 84KW at 1403 miles! NEW STATE #20 ON FM! My only 1xEs states I need are Montana and Michigan (and that's only a handful of stations in Ironwood, like WUPM and WIMI, that are less than 1500 miles)
8:14PM - 97.3 KRVY Starbuck, MN; strong with ID "The River 97.3, Lite Rock Favorites." NEW #302, 50KW, 1199 miles. I listen to this station sometimes online, as it is on the Dial Global AC network (and KUMA-92.1 is killed here 99% of the time by KDNA 91.9 splatter)
8:17PM - 100.7 CFJL Winnipeg, MB; local ad for Sargent Blue Jeans, a local clothing store in Winnipeg. NEW #303, 80KW at 1100 miles.
8:19PM - 97.3 KDNW Duluth, MN; ad for UNW in St. Paul and mention of "if you like the music you are hearing on Life 97..." NEW #304, 72KW, 1345 miles.
8:19PM - 97.5 CJKR Winnipeg, MB; ID "Power 97" mixing with KOLW and unid standards (likely KNXR, but no ID, darn) NEW #305, 100KW, 1100 miles.
8:22PM - 102.3 CKY-FM Winnipeg, MB; ad for a local pizza place with mention of awards by the Winnipeg Free Press. Also heard throughout the 2+ hour session with many IDs for "Clear 102". NEW #306, 70KW at 1100 miles.
8:25PM - 98.3 KQYB Spring Grove, MN; very brief over KEYW (pesty tonight) but mention of "Rushford Days are Here!" Rushford, MN. NEW #307, 33KW, 1422 miles! Longest of the opening.
8:28PM - 96.5 KWWK Rochester, MN; Zac Brown Band song, ID "Taste of Country Nights on Quick Country 96.5." NEW #308, 43KW at 1373 miles.
8:32PM - 88.9 CKMW-FM Morden, MB; "My Maria" Brooks & Dunn to webstream, heard almost the rest of the session with many IDs for Country 88, local ads, Pembina Valley mentions and country music! NEW #309, 100KW at 1055 miles. This wouldn't have been new if they would have just stayed at 1570 khz to mess up my XERF et. al. reception.
8:37PM - 95.7 KNDK Langdon, ND; ID "The Rock Farm." NEW #310, 6KW at 1042 miles. Over semi-local KKSR.
8:41PM - 98.5 KTIS Minneapolis, MN; over KEYG-Grand Coulee with Newsboys' "We Believe," no ID but matched to the playlist and stream. NEW #311, 100KW at 1316 miles. First ever Minneapolis-St Paul FM from here!
8:44PM - unid 96.7 with MLB All-Star Game from ESPN Radio. Not sure who. Also heard on 100.7 earlier (at the same time as KRVY). Not sure if some of the Twins Radio Network stations went to ESPN for the All Star Game as it was from Target Field...? That would rule 96.7 as Bagley, MN.
8:48PM - 98.3 WBJI Blackduck, MN; "Real Country", ad for Seven Clans Casino located near Lake of the Woods. NEW #312, 100KW at 1222 miles.
8:53PM - 96.1 KGPZ Coleraine, MN; ID "The North Country's Best Country." NEW #313, 100KW, 1277 miles.
9:11PM - 96.7 CILT Steinbach, MB; ID "Mix 96," seems as though they have something to do with 96.5 CJPG as the music was the same as 96.5 Portage La Prairie! NEW #314, 50KW at 1119 miles.
9:21PM - 93.1 CFOB Fort Frances, ONTARIO; ID "Classic Hits, 93.1 The Border," swapping with unid country. Had to tune to 93.2 due to KDBL interference on 93.1. NEW #315, 21KW, 1269 miles, NEW PROVINCE ON FM!! I also had a 93.5 CBC FF which was likely Kenora ON, but did not ID.
9:25PM - 92.1 CITI Winnipeg, MB; ID mentioning World Class Rock, RELOG at 100KW 1100 miles. Have not heard since living in Bothell!
9:28PM - 101.1 CKXA Brandon, MB; ID "Today's Country 101", into Reba McEntire's "Turn on the Radio" (playlist match). NEW #316, 100KW, 974 miles.
9:30PM - 106.1 CHWE Winnipeg, MB; mention of "Winnipeg's New Hit Music Station." NEW #317, 40KW at 1100 miles.
9:36PM - 107.7 CJXR Steinbach, MB; brand new to the air last month, mention of DJ "Addie Lowen" (sp?) and Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party" which matched the playlist. NEW #318, 30KW at 1119 miles. Last new log. Fell off after this log and went down to 88.9 with FF jazz maybe Regina. That died off as well after about 10:20PM local.
