[IRCA] New state

[Nigel Pimblett <ntp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
   Just got back from a weekend DX session up at Lamont, and we enjoyed 
some excellent conditions to the east (especially Saturday night, but 
Sunday also wasn't bad).  The highlight had to be on Saturday when I heard 
an ESPN station under KSL on 1160 (anything else on 1160 is 
exceptional!).  When about 90 minutes later I finally bagged an ID I nearly 
fell off my chair:  "WSKW , The Score" from Skowhegan, Maine.  Undoubtedly 
they were running day power long after sunset, but I'm not complaining on 
this one, as that's state #45 for me.   I heard traces of sports under KSL 
the next night too, so perhaps they regularly "forget" to power down.
  We also heard a lot of other stuff from the east.  Some that come to 
mind are KDKA, WGY, WABC, CBA, KYW and WRVA.  Several of those were once 
common but have become increasingly rare over the years.  In the case of 
WRVA that's only the second time I've ever logged it.   Having Calgary on 
1140 has meant that one has never been easy.  With the quiet solar 
conditions we had hopes of hearing some TA's, but it wasn't to be.  We did 
log some Japanese on the Sunday morning though.

73,

Nigel Pimblett
Dunmore, Alberta
