LOUISIANA AND TEXAS AND MORE ON FM IN NEW YORK FRIDAY

[dx1ng]

Friday May 26, E-Skip was in much of the day on the lower TV channels, and made it up to FM at times, being especially strong and widespread between 3 and 4pm.New FM Loggings here in the Hudson Valley, New York State.12:06pm - KLSA-90.7 Alexandria, LA, with “Stardate” then classical. 1248 mi.12:08pm - WMBU-89.1 Forest, MS, Moody Bible station, call letters given. 1072mi.2:28pm - WUUU-98.9 Franklinton, LA, with country, mentioned Pittman Broadcasting. 1176 mi.2:48pm - WMPR-90.1 Jackson, MS, with blues/soul and upbeat DJ. Fun to listen to. 1110 miles.3:00pm - KKST-98.7 Oakdale, LA, Star 98.7, ID after long spot break and mention of “Star Team 5 Meteorologist”. 1269 miles.3:15pm - KRUF-94.5 Shreveport, LA, “K-94.5” with “Bad Day” song. This was FM logging #700, 4th LA of the day, for LA #28. 1265 miles.3:22pm - KYKS-105.1 Lufkin, TX, country “Kicks 105”, mentions of Jasper and Tyler. 1353 miles. 3:38pm - KESS-107.9 Lewisville, TX, Spanish “Que Buena” slogan heard. I matched up audio with their web site feed. This is #6 most-distant FM at 1392 miles.4:06pm - KCSC-90.1 Edmund, OK, mention Paseo Arts District and Oklahoma City. First OK station in quite a while. 1338 miles. Fortunately regular WXHD-90.1 was off the air probably resulting from earlier thunderstorm, opening up a nice channel. I was actually sitting on 89.9 around 2:15pm, listening to fringe WVIA-89.9 PA fading in and out with classical, waiting for the earlier skip to return. All of sudden, I realized I was hearing WWNO-89.9 LA with New Orleans and listener support mentions. WWNO was previously logged, but the skip was back!!Other previously logged FM’s: The New Bayou WKBU-95.7 LA with classic rock at 2:23pm, WFMF-102.5 LA at 2:30pm, and 99X KTUX-98.9 TX at 3:04pm.I also had an unID TX on 105.7, strong with Texas Dodge spot, then lost. (3:48pm).One new TV station to note: while watching WBRZ-2 fade in and out, all of a sudden KQTV-2 MO faded up, with visual showing map of Missouri for some June event, and the visual and aural ID as “KQ2”. 1:00pm.So far Saturday morning, no TV/FM skip noted, but I'm hoping for some more great holiday weekend DX!

":06pm - KCSC-90.1 Edmond, OK, mention Paseo Arts District and Oklahoma City. First OK station in quite a while. 1338 miles." You were most DEFINATLY getting our KCSC! There is a arts fest going on this weekend I believe in the Paseo District! Very cool! Just for your info, KCSC runs a pair of Continentals combined for 100k ERP at about 800 feet or so on their own tower in the antenna farm in NE OKC. Non-comm KYLV @ 88.9 also shares the same tower. I'm sure Hal Smith (their engineer) and the UCO guys would LOVE to hear about your DX of that kind of distance! Very neat!
