Re: [IRCA] Slightly off topic post



Bruce,
 
According to comments made regarding my posting of stations logged during this episode, this was E-skip and not tropo.  It wasn't like any skip I had heard in the past in my limited FM DXing, so I thought it was tropo.  Rookie exuberance loses out to reality again!

Okay, so this is an FM item instead of AM but at least it's about DX.
 
This afternoon, while I was driving home, someone on KPLU said E-Skip was taking place, so some of their normal listeners were getting KQED San Francisco, and some of KQED's listeners were getting KPLU.  Both are on 88.5.  This during a local news break in All Things Considered.
 
It was kind of unusual hearing them mention E-Skip on the air.  I don't know what prompted it, maybe they were getting calls from listeners in outlying areas.
 
Naturally, I started tuning around on FM but didn't hear anything unusual.
