2/27 11 PM 1000 KC KTOK Oklahoma City, OK 5.8 kW good copy. iHeart news/talk.

WMVP Chicago. Weak

I get KTOK only occasionally here in central TX. It's usually very weak, but enough to hear the Okla. City area codes, commercials, etc.
But as it's mostly syndicated conservative talk, it's not anything like its talk "heritage."

Two more new FM stations heard tonight.
88.9 KEFX Twin Falls (Christian rock, // 103.9 KCNU) 100KW 148 miles
98.7 KMNA Mabton WA (Regional Mexican, ID over KARO Nyssa OR) 11.5KW 240 miles

FedEx flight flew DIRECTLY over town. The Flightaware path had it within 1/4 mile of my house. This led to very steady and strong scatter, thus the logs.

Two more NEW FM logs tonight!

104.5 KZKY Ucon, ID; with Kiss "Rock and Roll All Nite" // playlist around 1840 MT 3/4. 37KW, 218 mi.
100.9 KARY Grandview, WA; ad for a business on Market St. in Union Gap, and another commercial for the Yakima Symphony Orchestra. Well-wanted! This used to be preset numero uno when I lived in Yakima for years!! 7.8KW, 235 miles.

These were thanks to more aircraft scatter. It was an Asiana 747 that flew by, and the quad-engine design pushed signals to blistering levels on many of the usual targets.

Not a new catch here, just an ears-up note.
On 1580 the other night was a fade-up/top signal for a few moments. There were back-to-back spots for places in Ohio, so I groaned. I 'knew' what it was.
Former daytimer and East Coast sunset regular WVKO is now 'WXGT', with a 200-watt night signal that sends a nice tongue sort of east and one west. It was easy to track them (the only Ohio 1580) by their female-voice ID of 'My 92.9'. Then they went into 'How Sweet It Is'.
In case you come across it in your travels ....

Heard them as WWCD once upon a time, blasting the hits out from Columbus.

WMVP Chicago. Weak

heard KTOK many years ago when the former WCFL would go off the air for equipment maintenance on early monday mornings; also XEOY México, DF (CDMX)

good luck with that happening now, ya gotta know someone is listening to WMVP/ESPN at 2 am on an early monday morning!

Kenosha, WI 3/5/2025 7:30 PM. New log WTEM Washington, DC "The Team 980". 50K day, 5K night, very good signal for the 5 minutes that I listened.

Kind of surprised to hear the ID, because WONE Dayton is typically dominant at night here, and is also sports.

That's quite a catch. Imagine not many 5kw stations from the East Coast at night make it to Kenosha (or Chicago).

Anything possible. My farthest east log from alaska is CFAJ 1220 St Catharines, Ont

Seeing reports of auroras in New York and Michigan tonight so keep an eye out for auroral conditions on AM.

 

[Dondd]

How do auroral conditions affect AM signals?

 

[Mike in Destin]

How do auroral conditions affect AM signals?

Same question I have. I thought that only affected VHF.

 

[tvnut]

An aurora attenuates signals from the north, under the aurora, and allows signals from the south a better chance of being heard. Works in reverse in the southern hemisphere, of course.

 

[radiofan2023]

Last night for the first time:
KKOB Albuquerque, New Mexico
KRLD Dallas with HD but the signal didn't lock
Unknown station on 1110 playing Hindi music - maybe KVTT, but that's supposed to be a daytimer. Surprised it knocked out KFAB.
