Post your latest DX

Check south tonight! Major CME will hit today from an M8.2 flare that was directed right towards the Earth.

When the meteorologists are talking about Northern Lights possibilities, it's quite possibly a big one for reception.
 
World Music Radio has made it here to west central Alaska from Denmark a few times and in this recording it's one of the better reception moments. This is April 28th at 0527UTC .. whats more astonishing is WMR heard here is on 15700 and uses only 300 watts into a 3 element yagi beaming 180 degress due south from its Transmitter site!

Es all day long on the east coast. Bermuda SDR (FM DX webserver) had many stations from Detroit, Cincinnati, and other areas around noontime ET (1PM Atlantic). Now listening to WIBC 93 Indy on Bryce Foster's SDR in Mashpee MA (Cape Cod) mixed with Decatur IL. Around 5:30 ET, St. Louis 92.3/93.7 was noted from Bermuda at 1500 miles.

Very hopeful this will head all the way west tonight.

While waiting for any residue skip to come this way, I have uploaded a massive number of old 2024 (and some 2025) FM DX clips to Mediafire. Here you go, any 2025 clips were captured here in Cascade or nearby Warm Lake.

 
6/3 9:30 PM CST 1480 KC WABF Mobile, AL
Oldies/adult standards good copy. 4.4 kW 4 towers nighttime.

Unknown rock format station on frequency.
Both stations appear to be from east/west direction. This frequency has been hot tonight. Unknown Latino station on also.
 
6/11 10:15 PM CDT 930 KC WMGR Bainbridge, GA Christian Contemporary 500 watts.

10:30 1380 WELE Ormond Beach, FL

Es noted this morning/afternoon from northeastern US to LA/MS/TX.
Listening to WWNO-89.9 NOLA from an FM DX server in New Jersey. RDS and Fresh Air
Also noted 93Q Houston (KKBQ, 92.9) and KDAQ 89.9 Shreveport.
 
A G2-level solar storm has sparked some auroral FM DX in Idaho! Two new ones so far, all heard in the last half-hour, all muffled and garbled like usual:

97.7 KNWN WA, Oakville; mention of Northwest NewsRadio. This is the 2nd FM I have heard from the Seattle area. KDDS-99.3 heard on meteor scatter several months ago. NEW #249, 69KW at 401 miles.
89.7 KLCC OR, Eugene; muffled but quite strong with promo and a "more at KLCC.org" at the bottom of the hour (6:30 PT, 7:30 MT). NEW #250!! 81KW at 351 miles.
Also hearing Bend on 97.5 and 95.7, usual scatter pests but with the muffled Au effect. Quite a few signals up and down the band, at times through to the top.
 
6/13 8 PM CDT 1260 KC WDKN Dickson,TN
Very weak Id, but it's 18 watts!

Have also gotten "Relevant Radio " on this frequency, probably from IL.

It's possible 18 watts from 396 miles away though the conditions that allow a signal of that strength would need to be nearly perfect with all the other stations on the air at the same time

though I wonder if that 18 watts could even reach the ionosphere and hit it, and bounce back down. I would try again earlier than 8pm and see what the station sounds like and wait for the power to be reduced from 5kW to 18 watts.

I've been fooled before thinking I got a low powered night signal only to find they were on daytime power. Many stations either have not programmed power reduction timing correctly, or are careless. A few might not care, but who wants a fine from the FCC?

I do remember hearing a station from Northern Michigan on 1110, WJML, many years ago and according to the radio listings - 10 watts! 284 miles. But do I know - for sure - that the station was on nighttime power, or daytime of 10 kW?

I believe there is another Relevant Radio outlet in the DC area - WQOF - I was trying to ID it; two Relevant stations mixing together...but I lost it due to pattern change and/or WSDZ Belleville, IL was starting to completely drown out the possible DC station. But it could be what you heard in FL, signal pattern favors your area. WSDZ nighttime pattern seems likely as well into FL.

I agree, it's most likely WSDZ, as this area seems to favor signals from directly north of me.
 
6/14 9:20 AM CDT 101.9 WHHY "Y102"
Montgomery, AL 100kw 1096 ft.
This is the first time I've heard anything on this frequency. Listening on fringe frequencies and hearing some activity, though too weak to id yet. Mild opening.

approximately 137 miles good catch!
I use distance.to find approximate distance to the tx
 
WILD Es on the East Coast right now. 2 meter MUF

From an SDR in Akron OH... too many Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas to count. Full band of Dallas, WRR, Jack FM, Hank FM, Lonestar 92.5, KSQX, KEOM, 107.1 KESS, etc. etc. all in. Waco 95.7 (KBGO), 105.5 KYEL in Arkansas, KLUR-99.9 Wichita Falls and 92.9 KNIN as well, 100.5 KBLY in Graham TX, 94.5 KFPW Fort Smith, 103.1 Kiss FM in Killeen, lots more.
 
Between 5:45 and 6:15 CT this morning in San Antonio, I was hearing soft pop/classic hits intermittently on 1280 (Piano Man, Tainted Love, You’re in My Heart).

The radio was aimed N/S, and the station was only in for brief snatches, with XEAW (Monterrey) mostly dominant.

Could this be KPRV in Poteau, OK? The format and direction would seem to fit. Other possibilities would be XEEG, KXEG and KQLL; however, their streams/playlists did not match.
