Had about a half hour of Eskip last night from Yakima to Kansas/Colorado. Very spotty, but did get one new station. Times approximate.
8:15PM (PT) - 97.3 KKJQ Garden City, KS; with mention of grocery store in Scott City in local commercial. Relog, 100KW at 1,190 miles.
8:17PM (PT) - 98.9 KKMG Pueblo, CO; with Most Requested Live syndicated show interviewing Katy Perry. Only possible match in the Eskip area. Relog, 57KW at 963 miles. At the same time there was classic rock swapping with Top 40 on 98.1, obviously KKFM CO and KSKZ KS, both relogs, didn't try for an ID. Also 96.3 with country had to be KERP KS, another station relogged many times.
8:22PM (PT) - 95.5 KPHT Rocky Ford CO; with ID 'Pueblo's Greatest Hits, KPHT...' back into The 80's Show with Jeff Stevens, swapping with another classic hits station, obviously KAHE KS (relog there too). Relog, 100KW at 1033 miles. This station was dominant for the whole 20 minutes+ that Es lasted out there.
8:30PM (PT) - 95.1 tentative and likely KATC Colorado Springs CO with 'Toes' Zac Brown Band, while 95.5 and 98.1 Colo Springs were in. Relog, 72KW at 963 miles.
8:35PM (PT) - 97.3 KBCO Boulder, CO; weak fadeup with 'on KBCO...' into AAA song recorded live, then out. NEW #661, 94KW at 882 miles.
Audio to be posted separately. Not too many stations, not a memorable opening, but at least I pulled KBCO out of thin air!
