The Last Frequency you DXed?

B

Buckeyes2001

What was the last frequency you DXed and what did you hear? (or if you're DXing a frequency as you're reading this, which one is it and what are you hearing on it?

For me it was on the car radio, 102.5 MHz and I last heard WIOG/Bay City, MI (CHR) mixing with WZOO/Edgewood, OH (Oldies) from Vermilion, OH
 
Still got a few on FM. I don't recall logging anything on 92.7 yet, nor 93.5. Also 95.9, 96.3, 96.7 yet to be filled.

WLEW-FM 102.1 Bad Axe, MI, heard near Farmington Hills, MI. DXing has become increasingly difficult in the Southeastern Michigan area due to the proliferation of new Canadian stations and translators on second adjacents to local stations, and IBOC sidebands of local stations on first adjacents. WLEW-FM, being near the tip of The Thumb, also has a clear line of sight to many shoreline areas across Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay. Despite being a Class C2 at 500 feet on land that is not particularly high, it has a signal that rivals many Class C1s over hilly terrain.
 
From Coldwater, MI-

105.7- Usually the home of superpowered WSRW Grand Rapids, MI, but in a complete null just south of due west, I can listen for meteor scatter and fade ups from WIXO Peoria, IL.
 
The last DX I had was KBPC Crockett, TX airing country as "Pine Country 93.5" about an hour ago.
 
I haven't DX'ed any FM stations in a while, since the band is pretty much saturated (stations, boosters, translators) in SLC.
I listened to 540 AM, CBC yesterday morning at 3:30 AM, driving to work.
 
Are you just talking FM? On AM, last freq. I DXed was 1370, trying to ID an UNID Spanish language stn.; heard KXTL Butte for sure, though.
 
It's hard for me to determine what was the last frequency I DXed, as when I'm DXing I usually do a lot of channel surfing, not staying on one frequency for long. (By contrast I sometimes see stories of DXers who will park on one empty or crowded frequency for hours at a time hoping something comes up.)

The last frequency I got a new log on, though, was 1290 AM, either last or Wednesday night sometime after 9pm (when Dave Ramsey on 840 KXNT had ended for the evening). I was listening to the religious station out of San Bernardino "Good News Radio for the Inland Empire", and kept hearing sports play by play and other sports talk. I was thinking hey maybe my first HSFB "STA" log? (see ABDX group on Yahoo for why I used that term.) I looked up the sports stations on Radio-Locator, but couldn't determine which one it was, though.
After a while, I heard CBS Sports Radio mentioned, heard a sportscast headlines sequence (the ones that are usually done every 20 minutes), then heard "The Source".

Turns out it was KCUB Tuscon, AZ. They're 1kW ND fulltime, I wonder why I haven't noticed them before? Btw also KAZA Gilroy, CA, was in and out, so I doubt it was aurora.
