I noticed alot of hissing on my Columbus locals today in the car...I knew something good was going on!!! I didn't have time to sit down and listen, but here's what I did get...
102.7 "The Mountain" KSMT Breckenridge, Colorado @1270 miles
An great catch, considering its power is only 6kW
102.1 "Kissin Country" WKZN Witchita, Kansas @795 miles
100kW, lots of drop outs as other stations were battling with it.
Oh, how I wish I had more time to listen. :-[

Strongest E skip I've seen in years. Treats include a low power FM & 2 translators in the Melbourne, FL area under 400 miles, very strong, short skip to the Houston area, XERV Reynosa TV7 on E skip, was in for over 10 minutes. 162 MHz stations in Texas and Illinois and many FM's from all over right over the top of Pensacola and even local station 102.1 clobbered by Kansas City, MO. RDS even. several 144 MHz ham radio contacts in Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska.

WMKL is fairly hard rock & Christian rap, one DXer mistook it for a pirate today.
Heard this one here in Cheatham Co. as well. Interesting idea.
Likely MIami (Goulds).
I had Hot 104 from the Cayman Islands which might possibly have been your hip-hop logging.
Channel 6 in Miami is NBC; they were running the same thing as channel 4. (and probably 48 which is probably easier to see down there during a big skip opening!) Was channel 4 running tennis? I forget...

It probably was Mexico from where you were. DM601 is fairly close to where I am in central Tennessee, where most of the DX was Florida & Cuba. (but we did have some Mexico and Texas towards the end)
Yes, there are (lots of!) ads on Mexican stations. They also run lengthy IDs - call letters and city of license are only a small part. You can distinguish Mexican stations from Cubans that way (among others); there are no ads on Cuban stations.
I don't know spanish so it's meaningless. I tried to show my best friend in seattle RR but too much computer noise was blocking it.
Though, the CW did break through.
I need an outdoor antenna.
I would like to see logs that my neighbour in FWB picked up. (though I'm 30 minutes from town)

More skip today?
Looks like there may be some skip today as well, but probably not as strong as yesterday. I only have three interesting logs, though...
94.5 KKLR Poplar Bluff, MO
95.5 KJEZ Poplar Bluff, MO "The Bone"
102.5 KMKS Bay City, TX "Hot Country"
Odd combination, I usually get things on the same & opposite headings, but not today. This was from Greenwood, MS with an OEM car stereo. ;D
