Apparently the principle of reciprocity still works, as I almost posted a 
message entitled "Good western conditions" last night, just before hitting 
the sack.

Among the notable signals from the west (or southwest) was that of 690 KTSM 
in El Paso TX.  I've heard them a number of times since the demise of CINF, 
but last night they were really strong, rivalling the omnipresent Cuban 
station.  Isn't anyone else in the northeast hearing these guys?

Also noted: 660 CFFR Calgary with WFAN nulled, and a surprise appearance by 
910 KCJB in Minot ND.  However, reciprocity sadly breaks down on most of the 
regional channels, which are densely populated in the east.  I've tried in 
vain many times for KOTA, but no dice... CKPT is a particular problem here on 
1380.
