Oh, yeah, the RFspace SDR-IQ and other models seem to be popular too. So
anybody with experience with these might chime in as well... thanx!

I have a couple of ham friends who aren't heavily into DX listening on MW or
SW, but both of them own FlexRadio SDRs and really like them for occasional
SWLing and/or mediumwave DXing. I couldn't recall whether anybody uses this
particular brand-seems like WiNRadio Perseus are the favorites.
WTTN is a daytimer here on western antennas and was very strong last eve. Nice
catch on 760 for you. This is a good time of year for sunset skip. 15 minutes
after you logged KKZN, I have them on my Perseus recording crushing a very
nulled WJR.

Had a nice Late Morning opening to the North West this morning after
Sunrise!! 2 New Stations from Minnesota and South Dakota logged. They are NEW
to both the ULR and OVERALL LOGS!! It was a great way to start the day!!

I recorded a few minutes around 4:00am TOH a few days ago. This includes, at
the beginning, a few ads that target Mexico, read by a couple voices that
frequently do those ads. Their legal ID (in Spanish) is at 2:03 in the clip,
after a brief ESPN current/next program announcement.
Stephen,
XEPE 1700 at sunset here is S-9+20db. another station with talk is being
heard underneath XEPE. Radio is a JRC NRD 545 and antenna is 753' sky wire
loop. Took the eton e100 outside and reception was poor. If I'm around at
noon Friday
I will give them a try, I think I had KFI at noon

The
WPCN 1010 Stevens Point WI, non-directional 1kw days 10 watts nights, is
currently broadcasting a HS hockey game Stevens Point vs, Wisconsin Rapids.
The broadcast is being heard here in Madison, at times fair, a distance of
some 99 miles, so most probably station is on day power.

Strongest carriers heard in some time on 1215 and 945 this evening,
0200UTC; maybe audio is possible?
Quick check shows weaker carriers 855, 999, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1098,
1107, 1206, 1269, 1278, 1314 etc.

It's not exactly classic rock, but the 1590 in East Grand Forks,
MN simulcasts Rock 95.7, which has a modern/alternative rock format. Sticks
out like a sore thumb on a crowded frequency at sunset.

I lived in Marion, IL for 2 years.. and I can assure you WFRX pretty much
powered down when it was supposed to we could barely hear it on a car
in certain parts of Marion, not even 10 miles away from it's West Frankfort
transmitter site with 60W
Of the 4 AM stations in the Marion-Carbondale,
According to an FCC query, 910 is now KKSF and 960 is KNEW.

I was making reference to the fact Im pretty sure WFRX powers down.
And maybe I should've clarified my statement about where i worked in the
market. I was just adding a personal story to your WFRX log. The other AMs
serving the market weren't as centrally located as the tower for the one I
worked
What does the fact of whether they power down or not have to do with my dxing
catch?

Well, sometimes catches are made when stations are at high power at a time
they arent supposed to be.
i was just implying.. or trying to imply it was definately at low power..
or at least, at low power to the best of my knowledge and limited
expierience/knowledge of WFRX.

On Thu, Jan 5,
If he heard it in metro Minneapolis at 5:52 a.m. local, it sounds like WFRX
powered UP way before it was supposed to (which, in the month of January, is
supposed to be 7:15 a.m. Central). Of course, there are MANY regional channel
stations on the MW band doing this, the trick is just catching
Hockey game appears to be over, Earl Higgins and I heard Stevens Point running

knowledge of WFRX.. I was only offering my opinion and what I knew of the
situation.
That being said, you can't assume. Propogation can do weird things.,.

Conditions this morning were slightly auroral. Neat catches have been made on
auroral conditions.
My personal most exciting catch on auroral conditions in recent memory was 770
Ft. Meyers. In Iowa, I had phenomenal fun with what I call the auroral early
80's!
I'd love to hear other's
According to the CE at XEPE they are indeed 10 KW ND 24/7.

You're no doubt right about the game being over, Rick. The 3rd period had
just started when I sent out this e-mail at 2030 Central. So they must have
kept the power on after the game-- thus it remains an opportunity for
anyone who needs it.

nobody had reported anything. Sunrise enhancement just
