Rare late-season Es with 2 newbies, 8/15/14

Tonight I had some E-skip, very late in season, with two new logs to NV and AZ.

8:24PM - E-skip first noted on 88.9 with Latin guitar music, prob KAWC or KNPR. Did not match Hermosillo. Skip had been brewing for about 20 minutes before this.
8:29PM - unid 100.3 (the MUF) with Spanish Urban music, likely was KQMR Globe, AZ. Couldn't ID either!
8:34PM - 94.1 KMXB Henderson, NV; song match to "Sky Full of Stars" by Coldplay (played at 8:32PM as said on 94.1's website). NEW #384, 100KW, 785 miles. Nice short log! I now have nine FMs logged from the Las Vegas metro area.
8:44PM - 95.7 KPKR Parker, AZ; promo segment mentioning their calls, "brought you in part by KPKR", mixing with KKSR Walla Walla. NEW #385, 25KW at 921 miles.
88.9 then came back with Latin guitar yet again, but it did not match KAWC nor Hermosillo SON. I thought KNPR was ONLY NPR News and Talk, not music? Could have been them, yet AGAIN. Even as short as 770 miles, KNPR still is common as heck during Es.

I also logged, earlier this morning, a brand new LPFM on 107.9 for NEW #383. KYRF-LP Yakima. They are Spanish Christian, operated by a church located on East Adams Street in Yakima. Not as strong as I thought it would be - I can still null them out and hear K300AP Sunnyside with K-LOVE. Which speaking of 107.9 (and 106.5/106.7), KFFM's spurious interference has ended again! YAY! Today I heard KLTH "106.7 The Eagle" from Portland clear as day for a few minutes as well as RARE relog 104.3 KHTR Pullman.
There was Es as well earlier this morning, with an unid 95.5 Regional Mexican (KAIQ?) heard around 10AM. VERY little else noted.
