Hopefully the first of several new this year.

950 CFAM MB, Altona - Weak under KJR with classical music, Manitoba reference and calls "CFAM" at 0100-01 PT 9/14. NEW #719, 10KW @ 1,080 miles. It is Manitoba #9.

Also heard
820 KUTR UT, Taylorsville - Very strong at 2259.45 PT with ID and mention of 95.3 translator. Day power, 50KW well over Seattle.
1330 KOVE WY, Lander - Fair in CJYM null @ 0105 PT, with ID "AM 1330 KOVE" into country music. Day power, 5KW.
870 KLSQ NV, Whitney - Fair with ID "Univision America" at 0045 PT, over 250w KFLD Pasco.
960 KLAD OR, Klamath Falls - Fair with mention of "ESPN 93.3 and 960" at 0058 PT, nulling CFAC AB.
1050 CJNB SK, North Battleford - Good at 0102 PT with ad for Battlefordjobshop.ca, over San Jose, others. Common.
 
Your signature line says you logged the new station 4 days from now. :)

I also heard KUTR and KLSQ.

Plus, trace of WBBM E-W, and a possible logging of KLAA N-S behind KNCO Grass Valley on 830 khz.
 
Now it says "9/14." Thanks for catching that.
 
Nicely done with CFAM. I remember a couple of years back when I posted on this board that I was hearing classical music on 950 and couldn't figure out what it was. Since then I've heard CFAM here a few times. They have a nice signal. The stick is just north of the border about 50 miles south of Winnipeg, but they come in like a local there 24/7.
 
And hopefully this DX season will be better than the last one. From my location, it just didn't do much for me last year.
 
Yesterday morning (missed it, wasn't up at 5:45-6AM) there was a super TP/Asian opening in the west...just watched a YT video of a Victoria DXer's experience. 531 was Japan, 558 was Korea, 567 was Japan, 576 was Asian, 585 Japan, 594 Japan, 603...you get the point. ALMOST EVERY 9KHZ CHANNEL HAD AUDIO. Too bad I didn't have the 3-ft loop and the wake-up call or I would have tried for the many big-gun Alaskans that I need. To this day, I have one log of KINY, dozens of KTKN...but ZERO of KFQD. What gives? Guess it's KXTG's fault, and maybe a little bit KOAL/KERR. KYUK should be easy, KDLG, even KICY. I've tentatively heard KBBI 890 as well. My radio doesn't have the best AM filters, so picking up TPs on a frequency too close to a local won't happen.

Friday night was of course, Friday Night Fever all throughout the dial. 1400 KXGF-MT, 650 KMTI-UT, 1400 KRPL-ID, 1240 KRJW-OR, etc. with various high school football games. I listen for those who cheat...HSFB seems to always mean at least a few day power cheaters.
