Dave,

I have about 90 FM stations from Es receptions. Most of mine are high-power stations, and the lowest power was 660 watts. I didn't know that the REAL low power ones could make it as well. I learned something. I've only had one with full RDS data, and it sure is nice when they deliver all the info you need right to you.

Are you the person who reports Es as "dave in CN94"?

Howdy -

Glad to see at least a few folks were able to snag KJMP last night.

OT a bit... Patrick (Griffith), FM DX is my primary DX hobby. I have
486 loggings via FM E-Skip here, and Colorado and Kansas are my two
states with the most loggings at about 50 each. KJAC is nowhere near
the weakest station I've logged via skip - 34 watt 103.5 K278AO
Breckenridge CO takes that honor, with full RDS data from KRAI Craig.
I believe I have 10 loggings of 200 watts or less including a number
of translators from NE/KS/CO.
