Some nice Father’s Day E-Skip along the East Coast brought 23 new FM logs to the Hudson Valley, including 17 from Florida. Here are the particulars.
First noted “regular“ “Joy-FM” (WJIS-88.1) at 10:36am, and heard a whole bunch of previously logged stations, like Way-FM (WAYF-88.1), Spanish WYUU-92.5, WFBX-94.5, WTNT-94.9, WQPW-95.7, and WBZE-98.9. Finally after nearly an hour, DX got stronger and I started snagging some new ones.
