E-skip of RECORD PROPORTIONS!! 7/02/15

C

crainbebo

Tonight I broke a huge record. I'm on cloud 9 for this opening! I had a wonderful opening.

1718 93.3 KKOB Albuquerque, NM; song match to playlist, "Chains" by Nick Jonas. Relog, 21.5KW at 1077 miles.
1729 92.3 KRRL Los Angeles, CA; briefly in with traffic report mentioning "the 101" and local streets; also heard later on with "All New Real 92.3 FM" ID. Relog, 42KW at 865 miles.
1732 95.5 KKHK Carmel, CA; very strong with ID "95.5 Bob FM." NEW #453, 1.7KW at only 694 miles! Not the record, but nice short skip...and strong as well.
1732 95.1 unid Classical music, likely the Monterrey CA translator of KMZT-AM 1260. Also fading in was a Regional Mexican station from an unknown location.
1734 92.7 KTOM Marina, CA; strong with ID "92.7 K-Tom." NEW #454, 6.9KW at 694 miles (same site as KKHK).
1738 95.5 KLOS Los Angeles, CA; good with ID "Rock of Southern California, 95.5 KLOS". Relog, 63KW at 865 miles.
1740 93.1 KCBS-FM Los Angeles, CA; strong with "Crazy" Gnarls Barkley and ID "93.1 Jack FM." NEW #455, 27.5KW at 865 miles.
1746 100.7 KFMB-FM San Diego, CA; Hyundai commercial mentioning "east of San Diego." NEW #456, 30KW at 967 miles.
I briefly went through the rest of the San Diego channels - received 88.3 KSDS, 93.3 KHTS, 94.1 KMYI, 95.7 KSSX, 96.5 KYXY and 98.1 KIFM. All relogs, didn't need to check.
1907 I BROKE A RECORD!!!!! 93.5 KJAX Jackson, WY; fair with "Crazy Town" Jason Aldean, ID "we're playing another of their country favorites on 93.5 K-Jax." NEW #457, 90KW at a personal shortest-ever E-skip distance of 526 miles!!!!!!! :eek::eek: Amazing how short this signal was, no 2-meter skip noted on DX Maps.
1908 97.5 KDLY Lander, WY; very strong with "Time After Time" Cyndi Lauper; ID "97.5 KDLY". NEW #458, 62KW at a short 639 miles!
Also in at the same time - 93.3 with "Fame" David Bowie, probably KMOR. Also unids on 97.9 and 98.3, and 96.1 with CHR (Worland WY?)
1914 95.1 KCGY Laramie, WY; ID "Y95 Country." Later heard with local commercial mentioning K2 Radio (KTWO AM 1030). Relog (not heard since 2013), 100KW at 830 miles.
1914 95.3 KZJH Jackson, WY; ID "KZJH Jackson Hole," back into classic rock. Like KJAX, NEW #459, 100KW at 526 miles!!!!!! After hearing the ID, I couldn't believe my ears. It will be a LONG time before I get 526 mile Es ever again!
2000 97.3 KRGY Aurora, NE; partial TOH ID "KRG..." and into another hour of the Nikki Sixx Show. NEW #460, 50KW at 1192 miles.
An unid 96.5 with country (KRGI?) and 93.5 classic rock (KKOT?) were also heard, but both did not ID - and both would have been relogs anyways.

What a night!!

Then there's me. I've been trying for skip with the hot weather, but all I'm getting are the usual tropo suspects. I did get a new fm log, CBUF's 99.7 Victoria repeater came in for the first time last night, but that's the only new one. I've also relogged KRXY for only the second or third time this last week, actually received it twice last week.
