It came back on at 0228 with distorted audio. Back with normal audio at 0230. Radio-locator does NOT have patterns. This has been explained several times. It has "predicted coverage area" maps. It uses the word pattern at the bottom of the maps, which I think is unfortunate. Some resemble the

KNX has been reported as being off air and while the signal isn't huge here in Redding I can usually hear them every night. Combine KNX being off and I guess good conditions, I logged 2 new stations to me. "Comedy 1060" Calgary, Alberta. Didn't hear any liners or id's, but listened long enough

I just noticed KNX-1070 is off. UNID SS was there with a good signal then suddenly disappeared. Then very weak EE oldies. After a few minutes the SS station reappeared all at once. It has an auxiliary tower and must have a generator. I wonder what has happened. Sent from my iPhone __

Last night's geo storm certainly seemed to wipe out the TP DX here in Alberta, but perhaps contributed to some other unusual DX. At 1000 UTC I heard 1010 KRNI in Mason City under CBR for only the second time ever.Even presuming they were on day power for some reason that's still onl

A number of stations in Florida have long standing STAs to run day facilities at night to overcome Cuban cheaters. We have one in Northern California. XED is a big time cheater. KTCT has had that kind of STA since 1999. It's licensed for 10 kW at night but gets to run 50 kW. Sent from my i

It's been like springtime in Seattle lately. Temperatures peaked in the low 60s yesterday and today. So, it's perhaps no surprise that today's TP DX was typical of May or June. I had pathetic, wispy little carriers making very brief appearances on 972, 1386, and 1566. That was it. Maybe

It was back to earth with a thud today. Only Australia's 4QD on 1548 prevented a shutout on audio. That one had poor to fair audio from about 1440 to 1455, but the Aussie opening didn't extend to the x-band, and Asians were totally lacking, with even the carriers being few and feeble. 7
