[IRCA] Oh those crazy Cubans!
Heard 3 consecutive Beatle songs on 610 kHz between 2238-2245 UTC: "And I love Her," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and "Hey Jude." This was interesting because I normally get 2 news/talk stations: WGIR & WIOD. Turned out to be Cuba's R. Rebelde parallel to 560 and very loud 600 kHz. Rather disappointing although 560 is a bit rare.

Re: [IRCA] W. Russell Withers, Jr.
It's always sad to see the older, more traditional owners disappear, on by one, into the ionosphere. I have always liked colleagues who play hard and take their work seriously and yet remain cordial, collegial and able to keep their egos in relative check. Nice eulogy, John - Withers would seem to fit the bill! The 940 gets out well on sunset skip here. I think I've had it twice in the last couple of weeks without actively looking for it, so perhaps it's a "pest". OTOH it's one of a few markers I have for determining cx, and in all the years it's been coming in, it's always struck me as one of the community-minded local stations rather than the unattended syndication relay services that plague radio today. I have also had the 94.1 by two different propagation modes - E-skip and Tropospheric ducting. Given that it's about 600 miles from here, neither is an easy catch (Tropo is generally harder the farther out a station is, Es tends to be most common between 800-1300 miles, less so at each end).

[IRCA] W. Russell Withers, Jr.
I learned this morning from a Mt. Vernon, Illinois Facebook Group page that W. Russell Withers, Jr., owner of WMIX-940 and WMIX-FM 94.1 since 1973, had died last night at his home in Mt. Vernon. I posted this message on the group page's wall: If ever I thought anyone would outlive me, it was Russ Withers. I was one of two surviving staff members when Russ purchased WMIX after John R. Mitchell's death. WMIX was the cornerstone of his broadcasting dreams, as he was growing up in Cape Girardeau, Mo., with the goal of owning the AM and FM stations Mitchell put on the air in 1946. Russ had a wicked sense of humor, in the Don Rickles mode, as those who have attended gatherings he emceed over the years can attest, but I personally enjoyed his barbs, even when they were directed at me. I put in a lot of hours at WMIX ... doing both news and sports play-by-play ... sometimes as many as 70 hours in a week when there were ballgames and music to cover, but I can honestly say that Russ never questioined or criticised the way I covered the news or broadcast the ballgames. Later, when financial considerations (and an easing of my working hours) resulted in my move dto the Register-News, the mutual respect we held for each other continued. He was prominent in the broadcasting industry, one of a few station owners who kept local news and information programming alive during a tiime when most radio stations, after deregulation, were dropping news to do wall-to-wall music programming, mostly via satellite. His stations integrated satellite programming into the local mix. He was also a prime mover in national media politics, a member of the National Association of Broadcasters board and a pioneer in the move to allow AM radio stations to be relayed by FM boosters, a move that extended the lives of many AM broadcasters to whom the FM band would not normally have been open. Russ, as most who knew him know, had his flaws. Like most entrepreneurs, he enjoyed power and used it. In the late 1990s, when a local power play evolved over the Mt. Vernon EDC, he and I had different ideas over how the contoversy should have played out. Neither of us got what we wanted, and for a time, Russ was critical of how the R-N covered the stories that evolved. When I returned to the King City twice this century for MVTHS Sports Hall of Fame occasions, I was surprised at the friendly reception I received personally from Russ, with no reference to the conflct a decade earlier, and to the -- I have to say glowing -- words he used to describe my sportscasting work in an R-N article covering that year's HOF program, I am grateful.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP''s for 1-25
Hello All, Nick apparently got his wish this morning-- a major drop off in Asian propagation compared to yesterday (so that he could sort out his recordings). My session started off at 1500 with only 972-HLCA very vibrant (good signals in and out), but that was about the same as yesterday's situation during the predawn darkness. Unfortunately the sunrise enhancement this morning was far less potent than yesterday's, generally nudging both the high and low band Asians only up to slightly better levels. Around 1520 the low band received its moderate boost, raising 594-JOAK, 603-HLSA, 639-CNR1 and 738-BEL2 up to fair levels (in and out from 1530-1540). None of these sounded particularly vibrant like during yesterday's session, and they didn't stick around for long when they did fade up. The high band also received a moderate sunrise enhancement boost with 1377-CNR1 and 1503-JOUK reaching fair levels in and out around 1540, and 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 reaching brief good levels as well (in domestic splatter). There were no exceptional signals like yesterday, and the entire session seemed pretty mediocre by comparison.

A big DX session was followed by an even bigger day, so I didn't even get to (part of) the recordings until after 9pm local time. At the moment, I'm rather hoping for a big wipeout tomorrow morning so that I can spend more time with this morning's recording.
