First good Es of the year with several new! - 6/21/2022

C

crainbebo

A nice Es opening to the southwestern United States and later to SoCal. Several new stations. This will probably be one of my last Es openings from Ellensburg as I am leaving to move back to Yakima WA sometime next week. The apartment is a mess of boxes and tubs.
I still have no idea where I am in total logs. 900-something. Been going through July 2021 recordings as I have time, and finding a new station or two here and there which changes the whole logbook. Last week I found a 99-watt translator from Manhattan KS (92.7 K224EX, Country Legends) on my 7/19/21 recording, plus a new station from WY that escaped me live.
All times PDT.

9:10AM - 97.7 KLVO Belen, NM (1103 mi, 98.4KW) with Radio Lobo 97.7 RDS and Regional Mexican music, talk
9:20AM - 93.9 KRTN Raton, NM (1090 mi, 26KW) with Enchanted Air KRTN ID
9:26AM - 98.7 KPRF Amarillo, TX (1259 mi, 100KW) with ID 'The Bomb', mixed with 1-2 others

9:34AM - UNID 94.7 not KLBU Santa Fe, Christian contemporary music and host Amanda Carroll. Might be KGRW Friona TX, but Radio-Locator shows them as country. Had a big signal for 5 min.
MUF 102.9 at this time, but weak

12:25PM - 91.1 XETRA Tijuana, BCN (1018 mi, 100KW) pummeling a semi-local with '91X' RDS and local ads...they are ALWAYS dominant

1:03PM - 92.9 KHUD Tucson, AZ (NEW! 1134 mi, 90KW) 'thebulltucson.com' mention over another Bull, KDBL Toppenish. First time I've heard a Bull take over a Bull. What a cool experience!

1:05PM - 89.7 K209AF Tucson, AZ (NEW! 1138 mi, 250W) // KUAT-90.5 with classical music. Fill-in translator for parts of Tucson.
KCMT and KUAT hung on, then it faded away. Finally, a good opening!

Congratulations on catching such a wide sweeping opening while you were getting ready to move! I was watching the maps around lunchtime MDT, and I was hoping you was getting something, since there seemed to be a lot of west coast activity today.
May I ask what Wyoming station slipped away from you?
Also, best of luck with your move (back) to Yakima!
