For fellow DX'ers, it was a great afternoon to be stuck in beach traffic. There was a great e-skip opening between 4 and 5:30 PM. It was tough to identify stations; stations were tuning in and out within seconds. One station that came in crystal clear for about three minutes was "Rewind 94.9" out of Cincinnati. Most of the other stations I heard were from Bloomington, Illinois and other locations in the southern half of Illinois.
One clue that DX-ing conditions were good: While listening briefly to B101, the station started to fade. When a local is fighting it out with another station on the same frequency, that is a pretty good indicator that DX'ing is good.
