E-skip in Yakima 7/3/22 - several new

Wasn't able to post until today, as I was busy. There were several new stations heard yesterday from Yakima, one from CA and several from the upper Midwest. Some of these aren't new to the ELLENSBURG logbook, but ARE new to the Yakima logbook. There are about 250 less FMs in the Yakima logbook than in the Ellensburg logbook, which is still 900-something as I need to finish recordings from 7/14 and 7/23/21 to get a final count. Thus, I start at 698 logs.
If not for those narrow filters in the Supertuner, many of these logs would be impossible, being 6-12 miles from local transmitters.

First opening
11:50am - 90.5 KGDP Santa Maria, CA; only signal on the band except for a weak SS Rel. on 89.7 briefly, with Family Life Radio and KGDP legal ID. NEW #699, 17.5KW at 818 miles. Relog in Ellensburg.

Second opening
5:48PM - 92.7 KGFX-FM Pierre, SD; with severe thunderstorm warning information and local American Legion baseball on The River. NEW #700! 50KW at 991 miles. Relog in Ellensburg (meteor scatter).
5:50PM - 94.1 KSDN-FM Aberdeen, SD; RDS logged and local ad for restaurant in Aberdeen. NEW #701, 59KW at 1059 miles. Relog in Ellensburg 6/10/20.
5:55PM - 98.3 KUQL Ethan, SD; with Kool 98 weather forecast. NEW #702, 100KW at 1094 miles. Relog in Ellensburg, also from 6/10/20
5:58PM - 88.3 KESD-FM Brookings, SD; 'SDPB' RDS on car radio. Relog, 50KW at 1138 miles.
5:59PM - 89.7 KUSD-FM Vermillion, SD; 'SDPB' RDS // 88.3. NEW #703, 32KW at 1187 miles. Relog in Ellensburg, 6/10/20
6:00PM - 90.9 KDSD-FM Pierpont, SD; local TOH ID 'public radio for the South Dakota Great Lakes region, this is KDSD-FM Pierpont/Aberdeen, at 90.9'. NEW #704, 70KW at 1098 miles. New overall!

6:10PM - 99.1 KXLG Milbank, SD; with local promos and ads, one mentioning to support local businesses in the Watertown/Milbank area. NEW #706, 37KW at 1140 miles. New overall!
6:19PM - 93.1 UNID with loud sweeper and '(something)-93' into national ads. Seems like a satellite format. KGCX Sidney MT (short-ish skip)? Will post later. Not KKYA SD.

6:27PM - 92.3 KEZO Omaha, NE; ID 'Z92' and promo for Todd & Tyler in the Morning. Relog, 95KW at 1269 miles. Mixed with at least 2 other stations, one which had Georgia Satellites and other '80s rock at an undermodulated level. Maybe KXRA Alexandria MN? I don't think it was KYOY WY as I did not get into that area.
6:30PM - 93.5 KSCR-FM Benson, MN; local ad for a church in Benson. NEW #708, 25KW at 1200 miles. New overall!

Congratulations!
Re: (6:27), I don't think that was KYOY, because half the time their signal isn't even working right. When I can hear them, it is the correct modulation.
