More E-skip hit the Kittitas Valley this morning, around 11:00-11:40 AM. One new station (and hopefully more as I go through recordings).
11:02AM - First sign, 88.7 NPR mixed with current top 40 (probably KNAU and KPNG, both relogs). Also a 90.5 with classical, likely KUAT Tucson (needed).
11:14AM - 92.3 KRST Albuquerque, NM; Jake Owen song // playlist. Relog, 22KW at 1092 miles.
11:16AM - 101.7 KQAZ Springerville, AZ; ID 'Majic 101.7.' Relog (not heard in quite a few years), 55KW at 1049 miles.
11:18AM - Highest MUF reached, 104.3 with Spanish programming and what sounded like a commercial or PSA with .mx. I will be posting a recording soon to WTFDA and see if Raymie or someone else can ID this. I am thinking it's Nogales SON. There was also swapping on 103.9, which I never IDed. I was intending to go to 104.3, looking for Mega in Phoenix which I still need.
11:21AM - 96.9 KMXP Phoenix, AZ; ID 'Mix 96.9' and scrolling RDS "MIX 96.9" and advertising a law firm. KZTA still on very low power, so weak Es can be pulled out here. Relog, 98KW at 1043 miles.
11:22AM - 96.3 KSWG Wickenburg, AZ; ID '96.3 Real Country.' Relog, 5.8KW at 990 miles.
11:24AM - 95.1 KABQ-FM Corrales, NM; just flipped callsigns from KOLZ. 'Hot 95.1' ID and into 'I Wanna Sex You Up' by Color Me Badd. Noted sporadically over the next 15 minutes. Relog, 100KW at 1089 miles. Mixed with an unid playing Johnny Cash (maybe The Wow Factor, KOAI?), and a stumping UNID with a religious program. Was I really way out into Oklahoma at that point (KQCV)? I noted nothing from east of ABQ.
11:28AM - 99.9 KXTC Thoreau, NM; ID 'XTC' and into music, weak signal. NEW #752, 100KW at 997 miles.
11:36AM - 93.1 KLJZ Yuma, AZ; just heard earlier this week and now heard again with promo for Monster Media's news coverage. Relog, 100KW at 1038 miles. KTTI 95.1 not noted this time around.
11:40AM - 90.9 UNID, last thing heard, lively Spanish music with Latin guitar, sounded like it was from the '70s. Tentative KSJE Farmington NM. Then band died.
Audio going up as soon as I can. Good to have more Es on this lazy Sunday, after a busy week.
