--- Begin Message --- Between 1 and 2 p.m. EST / 30 DEC there was quite a bit of skip DX activity on FM as I noted while driving in the Yarmouth / Barnstable / Sandwich, MA area. Right away, at my house, I knew something had gone wacky when local 100.5 "Koffee" was replaced by a country

It was a good opening which used to be more commonplace in December back in the day but not as much recently. I was at work but let the ELAD roll for a couple of hours switching segments every 10-15 minutes. I had forgot to hook up the Airspy again...if I had done that my captures would have
