Trop’s Up
Last time we told you about TA DXing.
This time we are loaded for bear with page
after page of DX loggings. Scan these pages;
you might be able to ID an unid of yours.
Due to unexpected computer problems
last month (hard drive failure), the August
eVUD never got published and all those who
asked for paper VUDs should have them by
now. One great thing about paper…it won’t
disappear from your computer’s C drive. And
you can read it in the WC whenever you want.

$23.00. Send your check or money order to FM
Atlas, PO Box 336, Esko, MN 55733-9413 and
keep it next to your car radio or in the glove box
of your car!
Sportsradio!
Jim Thomas tells you who’s on what station and

Lehmann(MA), Uli Onken(Germany), Glen
Boche(MN) and Michael Lazaro(NY).
That’s the list; thank you all and thank
everyone who used Paypal.
One quick note about Paypal. Yes, you
can buy a Station Guide with Paypal. You
can join or renew at the $15 student rate
with Paypal. You can order a copy of Sports
Radio with Paypal. BUT…you can’t use the
webpage for doing that. Email me first and
I’ll show you the way. It’s extremely easy.
A short email from Garret Wollman
pointing out that he is not in the radio biz
and he is not an engineer. Well, that’s two
strikes on me; one more strike and I’m out
for good. Sorry Garrett. I should have gone
right to the source and asked YOU!
Well, the memories linger on. The
summer 2003 skip season was good for
almost everybody. A few of the DXers in the
British FM TV DX Circle did spectacularly
well with TA skip this season while
WTFDAers out west and the southwest did
great this year compared to the last few
seasons. Some of us here in the northeast
were lucky to log Bermuda in July and a few
of us logged some very unexpected double
hop Es to boot. There was also a report on
the WTFDA list of an FM DXer in Maryland
who logged CO, UT and ID during a severe
thunderstorm. I would never recommend
anybody doing this. The person was one
lucky dude. He could have been killed.
BRUCE ELVING AND RADIO WORLD
MEMBERS AND MORE
Here’s a short note from Bruce: “I have an
article in the current issue of "Radio World"
newspaper, in which I mention the WTFDA and
having attended their convention in Oklahoma
City. The article is about meeting George Marti,
Cleburne TX. We went to Cleburne last year
after the WTFDA ended and stayed with
friends a few days. I interviewed Marti, 83, who
is well known in radio engineering circles. They
printed a picture Carol took of Marti and me.
Most radio stations get "Radio World," and the
piece is on p. 45 of the Aug. 13 issue. Strange,
but it took them over a year to print the article.
This month we welcome another West
Coast Canadian to our lovable group of DX
misfits. His name is Steve McDonald and he
lives in Mayne Island, BC. Welcome, Steve!
It also appears that Steve is just a short
swim away from long-time member Mike
Cherry on Saltspring Island. Small word,
isn’t it?
Talk about small worlds. Our next new
WTFDA member is Bob Rush. Bob lives in
Holyoke, MA and over the years I’ve talked
to Bob on the phone a few times but I’ve
never met him. I hope we can fix that. Bob
does FM DXing in his Honda Accord. Hi
Bob!
Also this month we welcome some new
members via Paypal. The first is Ken
Alexander in Aurora, ON and the next is
Curtis Sadowski in Paxton, IL. Curtis has
been very active on the WTFDA list and
we’re happy to have you and Ken along with
us for the ride.
Now we’ll find out who renewed for
another year. The winners are: John
Lentz(WI), F.J. Issard(ON), Glenn Hauser
(OK), John Tudenham(MO), Randy
Miltier(OR), Ryan St. Arnold(MN), Howard
Fountain(GA), John Hourigan(OH), Al
Tobia(CA),
Ken Bedley(ON),
Jeff
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
We read an item that appeared on the
Skywaves reflector that reported the
reception of audio from WCBD (2) in
Charleston, SC in Portugal on August 11th
by an amateur radio operator in that
country. Time of the reception was about
noon GMT. At least four audio files of this
reception were posted on the internet. The
quality of these clips was good. The clips
included an ID, real estate spot, a Rob
Fowler Stormview 2 promo and a Ford spot.
Amazing!!
That’s it for this month. CU in 30.

NOTES:

Rulemaking #03-185 was opened seeking
comments on changes to the LPTV rules for
the digital transition. The docket is open for
comments until early October.

Some proposals to be considered:
" Should DTV translators be allowed to alter
the content or resolution format of DTV
signals? (it would seem to be this would
become a moot point if the translator
switched to LPTV service)
" Should digital LPTVs be required to provide
one free-to-air service of at least equal
resolution to analog?
" Which channels should be available for
digital LPTVs? The Commission proposes
2-59 but asks whether 60-69 might also be
used during the DTV transition.
" Should the existing contour prediction
method used to protect higher-priority
stations from LPTV interference be replaced
with the new DTV prediction method?
" Should existing LPTV, translator, and Class
A TV licensees receive priority in filing for
new digital LPTV permits?
" Does the Congressionally-mandated 2006
shutdown deadline for analog TV apply to
LPTV, or only to full-power stations? If it
doesn't apply to LPTV, should different
triggering criteria be set for low-power
stations?
" Should a digital TV (on-channel) booster
service be created?

CHNM-1 calls are unofficial. The channel

variety of languages is also planned.
substantial power increase.
Another skip target will become more difficult
to find. Note KCSG-4 in Utah has been
granted permission to reduce power from 38kw
to 980 watts, and tower height from 836m to
318m. This is listed as a reduction for their
main transmitter but I really have to wonder if
they really mean to create a new backup
transmitter? (on the other hand, does anyone
live in the area that will lose service if this is
the main transmitter?)
The channel assignment changes I mentioned
last month have appeared in the FCC
Database. WCMV-DT 58 and WCMW-DT 17
in Cadillac and Manistee, Michigan have
swapped assignments.
In Laredo, Texas,
KVTV-DT has changed assignments from
channel 14 to channel 31. Channel 14 has
had issues with front-end overload in two-way
radio equipment near 470MHz.
Jefferson County, Colorado has approved
zoning for a common tower for DTV on
Lookout Mountain west of Denver. KCNC-4,
KMGH-7, KUSA-9, and KTVD-20 plan to
replace three main towers and several smaller
ones with a single 730-foot facility to broadcast
both analog and digital TV. Other stations will
use a separate facility on nearby Mt. Morrison,
which has already received zoning approval.
Most of the call changes this month are the
result of a corporate decision by Libco to
remove the -TV suffixes from their stations.
Why bother? Good question. This way,
nobody can use those calls for a radio station.
(for example, you couldn't have a KAIT-FM
unless Libco changes their Arkansas station
back to KAIT-TV) But anyone wishing to do so
would have to have Libco's permission
anyway. Maybe they're just trying to ensure
against FCC errors? Hard to say.
Area homeowners bitterly fought the Lookout
Mountain facility. They fear interference to
consumer electronic equipment, reduced
property values due to aesthetic concerns, and
health effects of the additional RF.
The
possibility of a lawsuit to overturn the zoning
decision has not been ruled out.
The KBCA in Louisiana is not related to the
one that recently existed in Elk City,
Oklahoma. (and then moved to Borger, Texas)
The Oklahoma/Texas station has changed
calls to KEYU. Their old KBCA calls do still
appear in some places, notably with regard to
the move of the channel from Oklahoma to
Texas.
(editorial comment: NIMBYism at its worst. )
The NYC blackout darkened stations
throughout the affected area. In New York
City, channels 5 and 9 were off completely
while channels 7, 11, and 13 were on reduced
power. Elsewhere, some stations operated on
generator backup power while others were off
entirely . In Detroit, analog stations continued
to operate but backup power was insufficient to
operate the DTVs. The situation was similar in
Canada.
KXJB-4 in North Dakota has signed a LMA
with KVLY-11. It seems KVLY isn't interested
in operating their LPTV station on channel 35
in Grand Forks; KXJC-LP's license has been
returned to the FCC for cancellation.
We do have a new station this month, KCEB54 in Longview, Texas. I haven't been able to
find any programming information on this one.
Best I can tell it's running full power, so
someone (Danny? Jeff? Me?) is going to see
it soon enough.
Out of space! - good DX & see you in 30...
ON THIS MONTH’S COVER
This month’s cover consists of a summer
antenna project tackled by Greg Barker in
Greensburg, IN. What you see in the front
photo is the UHF horizontal stack(40" spacing)
of the Televes Pro Range 75's fed to the high
side of the CM 7777 preamp via a CM 0538
combiner and a Yaesu G-800SDX Rotor. Greg
reports that this rotor is so much quieter than
the CM9515 he’s been using and the variable
speed control plus 450deg rotation is just
great.
Also in North Texas, major programming
changes coming to the Dallas market.
Common Es target KDTN-2 (which has been
calling itself "KERA-2" on the air, leading to
considerable confusion...) has been sold to the
owners of KMPX-29. The channel 2 station
will switch to the Daystar religious network.
Their channel 29 will then be sold to Liberman
Broadcasting, operators of KRCA-62 in the Los
Angeles area, among other stations. KMPX
will become an independent Spanish-language
station. Note that KMPX has already filed for a

How does that saying go: “Go west young man go west”, for me it was, “go east old man go east”,
and that I did. On July 11 with MUF rising I loaded up the truck with a cut ch. 5-6 antenna, R-10
ICOM, and a small portable TV. I went east about 15 to 20 miles and caugt some rare channel 6 TV
Es out of the WLNE-6 shadow.
So far this season for tropo, April has been better for distance and quantity of DX signals. May, June
and July have been way down and spotty. To my south always seems to be much instability with rain
or showers, and when good down south our area in the northeast has been rainy. Hope for better DX
in fall.

Four more overnight openings in this report, keeping with this summer’s general trend. Highlights
would be my first ever ON station by E-skip, CBWFT7-2 in Kenora on the 18th and then on the 21st,
the second one, CHFD-4 from Thunder Bay, an old target of mine. “TB Television” logo was very
clear and seen a couple of times during the opening. Hope everyone is having a good DX summer!

I stopped putting down WPBT and WFOR, because I see them both at least twice a week. No reason
to keep marking them down, in my opinion (at least in skip season).If it’s October 8th and I’m getting
WPBT… hey different story. Got a nice QSL from WPBT too. In my first year as a TV DXer I’d say I
did pretty good… it’s not over yet, either.

IDs of KDBC and KRGV were made possible by Ryan Grabow’s logo gallery. WTVF-5 Nashville’s
logo used to be very similar to the current KRGV configuration until WTVF switched from “Eyewitness

squarish red background.

KDHX 88.1 was noted off the air on the afternoon of June 12, enabling me to pull in WNLD and
WPTH. Both are relatively low power, but it took a stroke of luck to pull those two in. I tried for KCOU
Columbia MO, but came up empty. WDLJ 97.5 is officially in my logbook now; they’re relatively strong
at my QTH whenever my antenna is pointed toward southern Illinois.
The opening on June 22 was a combination Es and trop opening, where trop was masking the
MUF. I did pull in KEPX Eagle Pass TX (across the Rio Grade from Piedras Negras CL) with Spanish
language Christian programming. At the same time I was pulling in southern and western Missouri via
trop. I also added a new trop catch in KLJC 88.5 in Kansas City. It turned out to be the only Kansas
City station in, pulling it in through KUMR. I thought I had WGCA Quincy IL at first, but the legal ID for
KLJC was a welcome surprise! The calls stand for King and Lord Jesus Christ.
July 17 also noted a new station in WNIJ 89.5 (their website lists WNIU as being on 90.5) with
BBC World Service // KWMU 90.7. On the morning of July 19, though, the band really opened up.
With South Dakota in on my television set and on the NOAA weather radio frequencies, I thought I’d
try my luck on FM. Sure enough, KNBZ 97.7 made it in with semi-local KHCR nulled. The jingle ID
clinched it for me. KISD was my only new Minnesota logging, noted with oldies from the ‘50s through
the ‘70s (not common for FM, which has shed most pre-British Invasion hits). KUQL 98.3 was a major
surprise, even with a local on 98.1! The mention of nearby Huron clinched that one. By 1100, the
action had shifted into Nebraska and Kansas; after 1800, these two states were still in. Lincoln was
even noted on my car radio while I was getting my dinner! One of the few excuses I had to keep the
shortwave converter off! The 700th station at this QTH was noted in the form of KPOW 97.7 (again
with KHCR nulled); could never get this one on 97.1 due to KFTK. Another station I got in my logbook
was KJCK 97.5. I never logged it on 94.5 due to Kirksville being on the frequency, and a local on
94.7. This was also the first time I noted KFH on FM; the AM side (1330) had made it to this QTH on
occasion. The she show it was carrying, “Coast-to-Coast AM,” now originates from KTRS (AM) in St.
Louis. Also noted new calls on 93.1 in Pratt KS (they now rimshot Wichita). The final new station
noted was KSKU 106.1 (KOQL was notably absent). I also worked an amateur radio operator in
Coffeyville KS on 146.520 MHz; he was kind enough to “roger” me into a simplex net in Oklahoma! If
you are looking for a reason why God made Oklahoma, then the DX could be it, hi! 73, Eric (N0UIH)

It’s been a long time since I last reported. Work &
married life have at times eaten up all my energy.
Still was DX’ing, but never got around to reporting.
Well, to try to set a new trend, here’s this year’s
activity. Don’t expect to see a lot of new loggings!

Too bad the season seems to have played

of variety in the last week, in sharp contrast to the
XHBC etc. show which dominated most of the

1300 fade-out of tropo signals
7/21 tr
The 7/18-20 weekend was simply the best tropo I
have ever experienced anywhere, period. Friday
night alone was good, but conditions stayed in all
day Saturday, and then in the evening things went
nuts. I took a few breaks to sleep but made sure to
check in the middle of the night when the local PBS
stations were off to look for DTV signals. I had
Chicago near snow-free, a first for me. The
shockers for me were the increasing distance of my
DTV record, with Chicago, Indianapolis, Dayton
and Morehead, KY coming in that order. I hoped
after Jeff Kruszka’s big DTV loggings to break my
355 miles DTV record. I almost doubled its
distance!
My all-time favorite tropo logging from any location
is now WVNS-59 Lewisburg, WV. I couldn’t believe
my eyes! I never would have thought West Virginia
possible by trops out here, especially given the
terrain over the last 100 or so miles. Ditto Virginia,
courtesy WLMB-40 whose transmitter is a couple of
miles into Virginia-another new tropo state. What a
weekend! I look forward to reading about what
others logged during this event; I’ve heard of some
loggings of my area from Kentucky and Tennessee.
Simply amazing! This makes up for a so-so skip
season on TV! My log total is now 696 with 88
DTVs. 73s Matt.

This report is for July 2003. Southern-CA tropo (to
San Diego/Tijuana, up to 200mi/320km) again
existed the entire month, though after July 20, I was
distracted and was not very accurate after that.

Wasco Report
Again, with distractions, I had forgotten to
note some new regulars seen in Wasco in the
recent past. Very quickly, here is a list of those
overlooked signals with dates first seen.
22 Es
2002: Sep 5, K27GT Mariposa (ex-ch. 28)
145 mi, tentative only, CCI under KFRE-CA 27
Bakersfield 35 mi.
2003: Jan 18, KCSO-LP 33 Sacramento 240
mi (tropo), tentative only, CCI u/KJOI-LP
Bakersfield 35 mi.
Apr 12, KSDI-LP 33 Fresno (MTV2) (ex-ch
34) 85-100 mi?.
May 5, Ch. 22 (KGMC-LP Coalinga?)
(KGMC-43 Clovis translator), change from
KGMC_LP Ch. 48? 85 mi?
May 5, KFAZ-CA 9 Visalia )Azteca America_
40-60 mi)?
Jun 5, KJKZ-LP 27 Fresno (Shop at Home)
(ex-ch. 28) 85-100 mi?
Jun 5, KJOI-LP 34 Bakersfield )A-C-N) (exch. 33) 35 mi.
I was in Wasco July 25-27, and sighted the
following stations:
July 25, KAZB-CA 19 (KVPT-18 Fresno
translator) (ex-ch. 65) 45mi (new regular).
July 26, Es, chs. 2-4, noted briefly at 0845
PDT, no Ids.
Altogether at this point, not counting tentative
signals and always subject to revision, my
reconstructed Wasco total is 205.
Best of DX to All.

I’ve seen a mystery station and call letters on
wrong channels this month. Several times, in a due
easterly direction, I saw identical Chicago 66
programming on ch 61. A logo EDT-CDT was in
the lower right. Reception was not Cleveland-61
according to other dxers. Is a new ch 61 xltr
located in northern IN?
An internet search with another dxer on the
evening of July 31 possibly solved the three other
mysteries. Doug Smith’s list of U.S. stations was
down, so we looked elsewhere. I stand to be
corrected on the following conclusions. KARE-11
on ch 41 is KPXM-41 St. Cloud, MN. KGWC on ch
5 is KGWN-5 Cheyenne. KFNB on ch. 5 is KGWL5 Lander. Also a dxer informed me KTWO-2
Casper is now KCWY-2. Pix were taken of the
assorted calls on the wrong channels.
Plattesburg, NY-5 was received July 21 after
nearly 50 years. A tower of 900’, a power of 2.5
kW, and a distance of 812 miles should not be
difficult. WPTZ-5 is rarely reported as a mountain
is rumored to block the signal to the west. Five
excellent pictures were taken of the ID. Fourteen
consecutive days of dx over 400 miles was logged
in July, the longest string of dx ever.

Location, location, location is prime for great TV
DXing and Southern Oregon is probably one of the
worst locations in the country for Es. Living in the
mountains and at the western edge of the country
sure doesn't help. I had much more fun with Es
when I lived in San Jose, California with locals on
all channels! I guess Southern Oregon is just out of
the "skip zone".

Many times there were multi-layered signals
and Jeff Kadet, K1MOD and myself suspected
there was Es2 between us on ch 2, possibly on ch
3 as well. It’s been 8 years at least since I’ve seen
any TV Es from Iowa! Es from north-east Alberta
usually happens only once a season—this is the
second time this part of Canada has opened to
here this summer.

(KAKE-10) (switched from channel 22 a day earlier)
A nice opening in the middle of July. I
apparently missed some good skip in June when I
was in Albania. KMCI-38 moved to Kansas City,
Missouri from Lawrence, Kansas although it is still
licensed to Lawrence. Quality of the signal in
Topeka is no longer local and I have seen a couple
of DTVs on channel 38 since the move. I hope to
pick up some new NTSC stations on 38 as well.
There are only two more area DTVs to go on
KSHB-42 and KPXE-51 in Kansas City. They will
be on soon so I hope for a good tropo opening to
pick up a few more stations before they go on.

The E-skip openings seemed to be fairly routine,
with no new surprises. Another new E-skip station
was noted on July 7 in the form of KVBC-3; the
mention of their Web site (www.kvbc.com) clinched
it for me. They were running "Wheel of Fortune"
around 7:00 p.m. local time (9:00 p.m. CDT). July
17's trop opening toward Chicago and Milwaukee
finally brought WISN-12 into my logbook; it was
tough copy with WILL and KFVS on the channel.
Imagine my surprise when I turned on my television
set on the morning of July 19! My reception of
KWWL-7 told me that something was going on, so I
tuned around, and found KMEG-14 with CBS
programming; they were a split second behind local
affiliate KMOV-4. My relog of KSFY-13 confirmed
that this was going to be a major trop event; the
first one in nearly two years. The biggest surprise
was KTSD-10, noted with South Dakota Public TV
programming and ID. At 645 miles (1,038 km), this
becomes my longest VHF-High band trop
reception. Another record was shattered 30
minutes later when KPLO-6 was noted with it's
"KELO-Land" slogan (//KELO-11) and CBS
programming. It not only shattered my previous
best (KMTV-3 Omaha, NE) by 260 miles, but was
the second propagation mode in which I logged the
station (I previously had KPLO via E-skip; my
shortest E-skip reception at this QTH). KPWB is the
third WB affiliate logged on channel 23 (after WBUI
and KMWB); I also noted another station mixing at
times on the channel (might have been the SDETV
station in Sioux Falls). I also noted my first UHF
from South Dakota (KTTW-17), even KDLT-46 was
ghosting under local WRBU. The action switched to
Nebraska by 1100; I noted ABC's golf coverage on
KLKN-8 and KHGI-13 (it was also noted on KTVO3 and local KDNL-30). I even noted the KHAS call
letters ghosting under local KSDK-5! By 1700,
Omaha was still in; KXVO and KPTM had halfway
decent video. Too bad I couldn't get 26; KPLR-DT
has ruined that channel! I also noted a TBN on 17
//K18BT; Doug Smith's list notes K17ET with TBN. I
finally snagged KWCV-33; I couldn't get it on the
last opening into Wichita several years back. By the
time everything quieted down, Kansas City was in
with near-local strength signals, WIBW-13 had a
31
decent picture, while KTKA-49 was noted with an
infomercial in K49FC's null. I even made a contact
to Coffeyville, KS on 146.520 MHz simplex!

Note # 1 XHGC-5 relayer with 3-line ID LC.
"TEHUACAN PUE" is on the first line.
Calls are on second line and difficult to read, but I
think they are XHHHN, the same as the XHGC-5
relayer on channel 2 in Huajuapan de Leon OAX.
The July 4th weekend brought intense, long-lived
Es from Mexico. (I fully understand why most
DXers consider Mexico Es boring: It is difficult to
ID. This skip, being on a July 4th weekend, also
came at a particularly bad time.) Oddly, most of the
Es was on a path from Las Lajas VER to Cerro
Burro MICH. The skip did deviate from that path for
short periods once in a while. Stations along that
path were in-and-out for many hours on July 4-6.

received this summer running programs during the
midday hours that are not on the XHGC-5
schedule. Televisa network schedules can be
found here:
http://www.esmas.com/televisa/programacion/progr
amas/programacion_1.html
Concerning XHCH-2/XHIT-4 Chihuaha: For years
XHCH-2 has been considered an independent/nonnetwork station,but in reality it has mostly been
relaying Azteca-13 // to XHIT-4. This year a major
change took place in Chihuahua. XHCH-2
continues to carry the Azteca-13 network feed,
which has Central Time noted on news programs,
etc. XHIT-4, however, now runs Azteca-13
programs delayed by an hour, which is Mountain
Time. Both stations continue to super two-line IDs
UL at thirty minute intervals, in addition to "TV
Azteca Chihuahua" and "Azteca-13 Chihuahua"IDs.

This has been the best Es season I can remember,
especially to Cuba and Yucatan area. Really no big
lulls to speak of the entire time. Saw 18 stations for
the first time by Es. Usually I'm doing good if 5 new
ones are seen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Most common Es stations were:
(*KBEJ-2 TX is probably way up there too but IDs
are rare. Some UPNs could be XHHUPN.
*XEFB-2 NL was probably seen many more times
than listed but never IDed)
WPBT-2 FL 27 days

WEDU-3 FL 22 days
*XEFB-2 NL 16 days

Also added 39 new DTVs from July 16-20.
A very nice opening. DTV total now at 180.

F2 DXING FROM THE EAST COAST
BILL GRANT
Back during the sunspot peak of 1979-80, Jerry
Pulice (Staten Island, NY), Glenn Jacobs
(Moscow, PA) and I were actively DXing the TAs
from Europe. I recorded hours of British and
French TV audio including all of the BBC
regional outlets. In addition, with the assistance
of Glenn, I purchased an RCA 12" B&W TV
(Model AB 301 WCC) (manufactured January
1978, CCIR standard, 220V) from an exporter in
NYC along with a step-down transformer. With a
video camera aimed at the TV screen, I taped
frequent F2 openings on 48.25 and 49.75 MHz
using a Betamax VCR. The antenna was a
Channel Master VHF fringe type. Unfortunately,
no audio was noted. As you well know,
Sudwestfunk(SWF), Ch E2
recognizing images on a TV screen via F2 is far
from easy (poor sync). I've attached digitized copies of a Polaroid print of Germany's Sudwestfunk
(SWF) ID slide (E2, 48.25 MHz) (also seen by Jerry) and one of Russian or eastern European TV on
R1 (49.75 MHz). These photos were taken 12-15-79 between 1500 and 1515 UTC. In the mid
afternoons local time, I occasionally received weak video from New Zealand on 45.25 MHz. I still
have the TV set in "cold"
storage.
I would reference the August 1980 VUD
article "Transatlantic F2 TV DX Tips" by
Jerry Pulice for additional background
material.
During the past sunspot peak, I did my
"listening" on an Icom R7100 with 48 and
49 MHz in often. I had no luck with audio on
53.75 MHz or with Es TA reception this
season

Commentary: I'm a new member, but I've been doing FM DX in my own private way for the past seven or eight
years. As I live in a condo (and before that in a city apartment), I'm not able to put up outdoor antennas, so
most of my DXing is in the car. This time, I pulled up in front of the ATM and noticed a multipath null of rimshot
AAA WXRV; on my way back out I paused a few moments and I heard WYUU pop right up. A scan of the dial
did not reveal any interesting catches besides the two I've mentioed. Back in June I had a couple of nice Es
penings to Fargo -- 1305 mi -- but I didn't keep a log either time.
July 20 Tr
I went out to the car and did a complete bandscan on tape between 2325 and 2400 EDT, and conditions in the
lower atmosphere were quite interesting. Full log is available on request (and might make an interesting VUD
feature during a slow month as an example of what it's possible to hear in a suburban area with a modest
receiver). This is the reason for the odd format.

Funny how those TX stations popped up every so often. With Es, one really
never knows. It is also clear after the WA & MT opening, that RDS is a rare item
with that part of the U.S. Very few stations were using it!

Notes
#1
Web site schedules are confusing. The program page says it is on WRAF at this time, but the station
page says no. It is listed for a station affiliated with WAQV Crystal River on 104.3 during this time.
#2
A real stumper. Ad seems to say Don (Ron?, John?) Johnson’s Cabin Critters (cruisers?), with
locations in Manteo and Concord, NC, followed by an ad (possibly a second station) for Bahama House on the
ocean shore. There is a Bahama House in the Bahamas and in Daytona Beach. Others reported hearing
Bahamas 104.5 during this time.
#3
NS CBIB? NL CBTL Millertown? // 90.3
Other: WFBQ 94.7 reported last month was not confirmed by station. So where is Richardson Suzuki if not
in Indianapolis?

This was my best opening in a very long time. It sure would have been nice to have had at least a little taste of this type
of activity during the convention 2 weeks ago. FM was open to the top of the band for much of the time. I've got a few
mysteries - any help with those would be greatly appreciated.

There was much more tropo between 07/18 and 07/21 than my loggings indicate…I unfortunately didn’t have much time
to spend by the radio. When I did check, tropo was extremely strong and in from so many directions that it was very
difficult to ID stations. It was quite an event. 7/9 and 7/12 saw some “real” Es…a rarity this year. There have been a lot
of openings, but most unstable and only touching FM once in awhile.

1835 Unid 89.1 I have this on tape. This was hiphop/rap
with the dj talking over many parts of the music. Very
distorted but in stereo. Creole. Signal level got up to 5
leds on the Carver for a while, but as a whole it was
weak. A likely suspect a pirate in FL.
