Today, a big Es opening happened. It was amazing. I logged several new stations. Here they are, relogs, unIDs, whatever, starting w/ the first one, ending with the last one logged. This opening lasted about 2 1/2 hours.
Around 10AM, I had 89.9 KUNM Albquerque, NM relog, 1189 miles.
Then I put the radio on 88.9, and heard what sounded like "KJIL Weather", which would mean a translator!!
It's K205CW Follett, TX!!!
The station is only 226w and a whopping 1367 miles from here!! It beats KATP as my farthest FM station ever here, and my lowest powered!! WOO HOO!!!!! 8) 8)
Next, at 10:07AM, I had relog 102.1 KTRA Farmington, NM, which I have not logged since my first ever opening on July 29th, 2007.
At 10:10AM, I had my first new log of the day.
93.7: KRAI Craig, CO: I heard an ID for "93.7 and 102.3 KRAI". Before this, I had Adult Contemporary music.
Distance-874 miles! It was my closest distance today. NEW #111
At 10:19AM, I had log #112.
96.9: KCCY Pueblo, CO: Strong w/ country, weak ID "Y-96.9". Confirmed online.
Distance-1067 miles!
10:21AM: 101.9 KKHI Denver, format change. It's not smooth jazz now, it's the WAY-FM religious network.
Distance-1018 miles relog
10:28AM: I had new log #113.
101.1: KOSI Denver, CO: Heard commercials for The Wildlife Experience which is in Parker, CO, and had Maroon 5 "This Love" song match.
Distance-1008 miles!
99.5 at about 10:30AM had:
99.5: KQMT Denver, CO: Song match w/ "My Hometown" Bruce Springsteen. An unID religious station, likely KBIJ-OK, was in too.
Distance-about 1010 miles!!
At 10:38AM, I got new log #115!
95.1: KATC Colorado Springs, CO: Heard country music, and ID "here on the Cat." Not easy because of severe IBOC hash.
Distance-1068 miles!
Then at 10:39AM, I had SS on 92.1, which was likely KJMN Denver. 93.5 had a classic rock station with low audio, like an AM station. ID was useless as was fading in and out. I think this was KLMR Lamar, CO. I also had what sounded like KVAY Lamar, CO on 105.7 w/ country, but no IDs.
I got my next new log around 11AM. It's new log #116.
93.9: KZRD Dodge City, KS: Wanted this station. Heard Dodge City ads.

94.5: KSKL Scott City, KS: Good signal with Scott City commercials.
Distance-1242 miles!!
I had an unID "Mix 94" on 94.5 w/ John Tesh.
Next I had the game of "take your pick." On 89.9, I heard "Support for WPR (Wyoming Public Radio) comes from...". It's either KUWI Rawlins, WY 2kw or K210AF Torrington, WY 250w.
My 94.5 turned out to be KRFD Merino, CO. This is NEW #119, and is 1065 miles away!
Then I had 92.9 w/ spanish music, likely KOLT Warren AFB, WY.
93.7 KAZY Cheyenne checked in w/ active rock music, 967 miles. 101.9 KIGN Burns, WY also checked in w/ song match, 989 miles. They are both relogs.
