Charleston Dx'ing

C

Today, between 9:05 am and 9:25am, I picked up several stations from out of market that came through with strong clarity. These stations were heard from downtown Charleston, SC.

92.7- KSJQ, Savannah, MO, heard over the noise, "St. Joseph's Q93 Country." About 960 miles or so.

97.7- Unidentified, Illinois-Missouri traffic report coming through the static.

101.1- Two unidentified stations. One had a fast talking French speaker, and was likely from Canada. The other had an ad from Columbus Community Hospital, and I thought I heard someone say Albia in the middle of the ad, serving the farmers. The station was called "Clear 101."

101.5- KPLA Columbia, MO, local ad, then slogan-ID, "Chris and Monica in the Morning." About 813 miles.

There were also several stations that were in between the static, and would have been in if we didn't go toward Mt. Pleasant.

"Clear 101" is likely KLIR-101.1 Columbus, NE.

The French speaking station intrigues me. It could well be from Canada, and the good news is there are very few French stations on 101.1 in Canada. The only ones within skip-range, and with any significant power are:
CBF-10 Sherbrooke, QU (35 kw)
and CBGA-7 Ste-Anne Des Monts, QU (91 kw).

It would be odd that they would be coming in at the same time as the mid-western stations from such a totally different direction, especially since you heard nothing else from Quebec. But is certainly possible, and actually the most likely scenerio.

Another (but less-likely) explanaton, double-hop reception from CHFA Edmonton, AB, as they are more in the same direction, but only about 4000 watts.
