Post your latest DX

KLLK 1250 Willits, CA blasting in much better than usual (its fairly common here but the Seattle area 1250 doing punjabi isnt)

KSTN-AM 1420 Stockton, CA just pile driving in tonight. They were a sunrise regular in WY, often fairly well. Even heard their translator on 105.9 once in WY. Heard them at night here a few times but not very well.. tonight was just pile driving in.
 
Tonight, I heard KTBZ-1430 Tulsa, a sports station, in Austin, Texas. A long ways for a graveyard.

Also, I heard XEWA-540 out of Mexico.

you gotta understand winter time dx... things can still happen quite a bit/quite well right at or slightly after sunset. When i was in SE WY, i would hear a Manitoba AM (CKDM 730) start being listenable as early as 230 or 3pm)

Yes, many stations come in earlier than normal in late afternoon.

Just FYI, 1430 is not a graveyard channel, it's a regional. KTBZ runs 25,000 day / 5,000 night.
Still a good catch.
The "graveyard" local channels are 1230, 1240, 1340, 1400, 1450, and 1490.

They usually come in very well here in the Seattle area. I think they had a transmitter fire. Haven't heard them lately, but I haven't tuned 1180 in a couple weeks. I usually DX the MW band in chunks. This week it's the lower half of the band. :cool:

its been all over the news. they had a fire.. everything was toast. they got back on the air 24 hours after with 30 watts because the tower and antenna tuning unit survived intact.

Its going to be about christmas time before theyre up to 1kw with a new 1kw transmitter from nautel. they wont be back tyo 50kw till summer 2025

Oh, that makes sense. The 1000kw'ers, that have tiny signals but at night go everywhere, crowding the map, making the map unintelligible. 1731891148964.png
 
KTBZ 1430 Tulsa used to be KELI... a great rocker.
In 1980, my first year of college at Okla. State, recall driving in Tulsa hearing the great station.
I vividly recall Good Vibrations -- perhaps the greatest song of the 1960s -- being played on the legendary Top 40.
 
Of course, those Top 40 days are long gone, but I got a small taste of it, and it was special to capture that signal from so far away.

NEW LOG! KCJJ 1630 Iowa City, IA at 805pm AK/1105 central Nov 16th with weather, jingle and pop type song. Good signal for a bit!

KLLK 1250 Willits, CA Nov 16 615pm AK/1015pm Eastern blasting in much better than usual (its fairly common here but the Seattle area 1250 doing punjabi isnt). Dj chatter, followed by liner, network portion played, local element of liner was missing. Net spot, Net news, more spots, local psa and then liner "Turn it up louder, these are the greatest hits on either, 96.3 FM, 1400 AM KUKI"

KSTN-AM 1420 Stockon, CA 630pm Nov 16 just pile driving in tonight. They were a sunrise regular in WY, often fairly well. Even heard their translator on 105.9 once in WY. Heard them at night here a few times but not very well.. tonight was just pile driving in with hot/new country and copious 105.9 The Bull mentions.
 
Have been receiving KTNN 660 from Window Rock, Arizona, along the AZ-NM border, very well most mornings before 7:00 a.m. CT, when the Dallas station on the same frequency increases power.
It's interesting hearing the classic and modern country mixed in with Indian chants.

KTNN 660 wasn't coming in this a.m. at 6:20 am CT here in Austin, Texas. Not even the Dallas station.
However, I was able to capture KGNC-710 Amarillo loud and clear, with KEEL Shreveport underneath. KGNC is often the strongest of the two.
 
Last week, I heard 670-KLTT from Denver, a rare catch here. Usually, it's the Chicago sports station.

KLTT's daytime makes it to Amarillo.

KLTT's nighttime signal goes more into western Colorado, though I recall it being very weak when I was in Trinidad, CO (south-central CO), and Raton, NM.
