It didn't last long, but I had a few new logs from an E-skip opening today, August 1st. 6 meters was open for a while, but it broke into FM briefly. MUF 95.5.
This may be my last e-skip opening in Yakima. I am outta here August 12th for Cascade, Idaho.
10:58AM - (TROPO) - 90.5 KWCW Walla Walla, WA; briefly mixed with e-skip signals, via Tr enhancement, ID "KWCW - Walla Walla" and back into music. NEW #897, only 160 watts at 107 miles. Earlier this morning I had KATW-101.5 Lewiston and a strong KHTR-104.3 Pullman, so the new heat wave we are going through must be helping.
10:59AM - 90.5 KTLF Colorado Springs, CO; with worship music, RDS PI 434F as seen on the TEF6686. NEW #898, 20KW at 963 miles. Previously heard in Ellensburg, 7/15/2021.
11:00AM - 89.3 KLBV Steamboat Springs, CO; K-LOVE local TOH ID. NEW #899, 2.6KW at 811 miles. Previously heard in Ellensburg on 7/19/21.
11:00AM - 90.5 KLEC Liberal, KS; flipped back to find a promo for a Liberal KS church and TOH ID. Spanish religious station. NEW #900!!! 50KW at 1204 miles.
11:01AM - 94.7 KRKS-FM Denver, CO; with Abounding Grace radio program // schedule on The Word website. Relog, 100KW at 886 miles. Also, an UNID 89.3 with NPR News. I don't think KUVO would have NPR news at the top of the hour, so it was likely a translator.
11:10AM - 89.7 KXGR Loveland, CO; with sermon program, RDS PI 4D69 and PS 'Grace FM'. NEW #901, 80KW at 866 miles. Previously heard in Ellensburg on 6/26/2020.
11:14AM - 88.3 KFFR Winter Park, CO; with what sounded like a Rolling Stones B-side and then into 'Little Hotel Room' by Merle Haggard and Ray Charles, RDS PI '1DC7' and the Radiotext mentioned 'Mountain Community Radio'. PI matches and also matched the playlist on the station. NEW #902, 10KW at 870 miles.
Skip faded after I logged KFFR-88.3. E-skip isn't as common in August, so I'll take it. Audio coming soon.
