After a ten-day break, Es returned tonight. Not very strong skip compared to the 4th of July, and it looks as though I missed some earlier in the evening, so I only got about 25 minutes of skip, but there are multiple NEW FMs to the logbook.
8:40PM (MT) - 93.7 KLBB-FM Lubbock, TX; with Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" and 93.7 the Eagle ID. NEW #387, 100KW at 1073 miles.
8:42PM - 92.5 KMWX Abilene, TX: with local ads for R&R Tire Express and a restaurant selling acai tea. Relog, 28KW at 1223 miles.
MUF stayed around 94 but it was weak except for 92.5 and some Religious FMs in the 88-92 area. 88.9 had a religious UNID with Unshackled or a similar show, a drama. Not Adventures in Odyssey.
8:53PM - 89.7 KJWA Trinidad, CO; unexpected Colorado's Way FM fadeup, didn't even get it on tape... NEW #389, ONLY 160 WATTS AT 783 MILES!!
8:55PM - 88.5 KSAY Hamlin, TX; with 3ABN and RDS hit. NEW #390, 45KW at 1175 miles.
8:58PM - 97.1 KVRP-FM Haskell, TX; with Dolly Parton singing "I Will Always Love You" (yes, THAT Whitney Houston song...I had no idea she covered it years before Whitney did). RDS and "Big Country 97" in Radiotext. NEW #391, 100KW at 1169 miles.
8:59PM - 99.7 KBZD Amarillo, TX; Radio by Grace promo. NEW #392, 22KW at 993 miles.
9:01PM - 90.5 KOGW Clayton, NM; Kingdom Keys radio with network ID. NEW #393, 6KW at 874 miles.
