I was hearing WSCD in Duluth, MN here in northern VA as I write this... Maybe more to come later.

Just got back to the office. There were a bunch of others that were fighting with local/semi-local stations, but the window seemed to close around 1:20.

What struck me was how much local news these stations have. Many were doing local newscasts, something you don't see much of in this area!!!!

Interesting how today I decided to check the Sporadic E map to see if anything was going on maybe a little early and I noticed an MUF cloud of 91 over about the Ohio/Indiana border.

I'm sure it was a higher MUF before I saw it.

The first thing I thought is that someone in the northeast may have heard some midwest FM if they were listening.

This thing sure comes in handy.

I tapped into this Es opening as well. Here in Michigan, I positively ID'ed seven new stations from NY, NJ, PA and DE.

88.7- WKNZ- Harrington, DE- 'The Bridge' CCM with Bill and Denise morning show mention
93.1- WEZW- Wildwood Beach, NJ- 'Easy 93.1' with webstream match! NEW STATE!
92.3- WXRK- New York, NY- CHR w/ Nick Cannon morning show and NYC mentions
95.5- WPLJ- New York, NY- Hot AC w 'PLJ.com' mentions and song matches
93.3- WMMR- Philadelphia, PA- 'MMR Rocks' with Philly mentions and even a brief HD lock!
100.1- WJRZ- Manahawkin, NJ- Local spots for Brick Township and Highway 88 and the thickest Jersey accent i've ever heard!
88.9- WBZC- Pemberton, NJ- Dance music- Z89

The Es shifted north from here, bringing mostly French stations in. None of which I could ID.

This brings my total to 1,598 stations and will probably be the swan song for my trusty FM-6 antenna. I'm having my Winegard 6055P antenna installed tomorrow.

Lawppy--what time were these logged?

DANG IT! I MISSED IT! AT 1PM I WAS ON MY WAY TO A RESTAURANT TO FEED MY FAT-SELF. I HAD ON A LOCAL STATION SO I WOULDN'T NOTICE SKIP! - BRISTOL, CONNECTICUT

I was picking up a country K98.5 in the Philadelphia northern suburbs today - now I wonder reading these reports if it was KOEL in Waterloo, Iowa?

Most likely yes.

I live in the green/spartanburg area and I picked some spanish station on 96.5 but it was fading in and out. I also picked up a rock station on 100.1 but I couldn't catch what it was because I lost it.

Looks like this was a real nice FM / TV opening. Unfortunately I was as work, but in the car on a lunch break I heard a few stations in downtown Poughkeepsie, NY.

Just before 2pm, a Spanish on 94.9, I assume Miami. (often heard)

Then:
KJJY-92.5 W. Des Moines, IA
KGGO-94.9 Des Moines, IA
"Cows"-100.9, (KOWZ) from Minnesota
KSTZ-102.5 "Star 102.5" Des Moines, IA.

All but "Cows" were logged in 2006.

All were on car radio, in a poor location surrounded by steel buildings and parking decks.

At home in the evening, it was long gone. But later in the evening, I noted some DTV signals on ch 2,3 & 5, but nothing decoded.
