[IRCA] Likely new state (620-WTMJ)

[Brian Rachford <azswdxing@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm almost certain that I logged Wisconsin for the first time here with
620-WTMJ (1428 miles) near sunrise on the 21st.  My SDR recording caught an
ad for a "locally owned and operated" cleaning service with the correct
Milwaukee phone number, but the signal suddenly died right before the TOH
call.  A few seconds later, semi-local KTAR suddenly appeared, presumably
their switch to daytime ND pattern at 7am MST (my local sunrise was
7:08am).  WTMJ would have been on their more favorable daytime pattern by
then, more than an hour after their sunrise.  Not sure that I feel
comfortable with one local ad without an explicit mention of the city but I
can't imagine what else it could be.

Also had 1180-KZOT at the same time in the same direction (1020 miles).
Even better, I had both 750-KAMA (400 miles/10 kW) and 1330-KCKM (584
miles/12 kW) an hour later, so some nice lingering skywave that morning.
