E-skip 7-24

I was on vacation in Niagara Falls driving down the road and heard country on 100.3. I thought it was country from Eire,Pa but it turns out it was KRRV-FM from Alexandria,LA! (1,315 miles)! I then starting scanning the dial with my insignia portable HD radio and got 99.3 WBVV-FM Boonesville,MS (1,149 miles), 95.1 KMXL-FM Carthage (Joplin),MI (1,046 miles), 95.1 KICT-FM Wichita,KS (1,201 miles). This is all i was able to ID due to so many stations on one frequency!

I'm in Eastern Kentucky near Paintsville. Wonder if anyone heard our stations out in some of these areas?

Another station I captured had RDS of "THE ZOO!" but I forgot to jot down the frequency. Great.

Adam, was the Zoo station on 92.7? If so, it's KZUH Minneapolis, KS, in the same target area as all the other skip you got.

Was there a Tropo in California last night and tonight, around the SF Bay Area??

Probably 101.7 Elk City, OK KKZU. I had them here in VA a while yesterday evening.
 
I live in Sulphur Springs TX. On 7/24 around 6:15 PM local time I picked up WYYY 94.5 FM in Syracuse, NY (1462 miles away). Occasionally WYYY would fade out and I would hear classical music; perhaps I was hearing WNED 94.5 FM in Buffalo, NY as well.
 
You know what's really funny

I'm ready for this all summer, with radios and TV...nothing, all 2 months

I put everything away..Not caring til the AM DXing

This had to happen when I'm off guard
 
Wow! This is really one of the first big E-skip events that I was finally around for!!! Trying to pick up any E-skip around this area is always nearly impossible! There was opening up & down the dial but here was what I was able to pick up from a shopping center parking lot on my car radio, about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.......

98.7FM - KSID Sidney,Nebraska
100.3FM - KRDQ Colby,Kansas(The Ride)
101.1FM - I know I heard this station ID'd as KFNL but looked online & the frequency was listed as 92.5FM?? out of one of the Dakota's. It was def.a country format that I heard as well, so I don't know!
103.3FM - KJLS Hays,Kansas
103.7FM - KXKT Glenwood,Iowa-(Omaha,Nebraska)
I picked up a number of different stations on 104.1 throughout the evening that I was listening.....
104.1FM - KNAB Burlington, Colorado :eek: This station was coming in like a local toward the later part of the evening & is by far my furthest catch ever!!!
104.1FM - WNKU Highland Heights,Kentucky
104.1FM - Sounded like they were getting ready to broadcast a Texas Rangers baseball game & had advertisements with an 479 area code..
104.5FM - Some type of religious brodcasting
105.3FM - KIOD McCook,Nebraska
105.5FM - KVSV Beloit,Kansas
106.3FM - KBZS Wichita Falls, Texas (The Buzz)
106.9FM - KLGD Stamford,Texas

101.1 is KFNF Oberlin, KS. I've heard KNAB twice before here in WA state. The Rangers 104.1 is KILX Mena, AR. 104.5 could be MN but that's way out of skip range.

KidDooWop:

Your 104.5 reception was either KJLY, Blue Earth, MN or KCVN - Cozad, NE. KJLY's stick is in extreme south-central MN near the intersection of I-90 and US-169 and KCVN's x-mitter is 5mi SW of Lexington, NE along Hwy 283.

Awesome! That's about as far as you can get for a single hop.

It's interesting how this E Skip event slowly moved completely across the country.
