[IRCA] Superb western cx

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Best westerly cx of 2006 tonite. Note that loggings are ususually made by 
phasing easterly or usual pests.

CKWX 1130 is blasting in at times and actually on peaks can be noted on car 
rx ! New tonite is KSLL 1080 which left day power on somewhat late and was 
actually lost to KVNI(rare, but IDed) around 1941 CDT. New tonite is KIRO 
710 with a ment of the New York Vinnie Show on "kiro" during a break in news 
at 2004. Also new is XEFZ 1000 with Ranchera/Nortena type mx thru phase null 
of WMVP w/La Rancherita ID 2140.

Vancouver also in on 1040 u/WHO and on 1410 (West BOGs null WRMN very 
nicely) AB 1140 very loud at times. Dakota Country on 1220 and rare // 1600 
also dug out u/heavy SS QRM from MN and some talk from Harvard IL.

700 KXLX clearly listenable with endless ESPN promos 1957-2000:30 switch 
with WLW phased. I tuned over to 870 briefly to nab a KFLD ID mixed with WLW 
at 1959:30. Not new since I have caught them with Mariners (late Sept SSS DX 
can rock!) but first time to hear an ID.

KSL 1160 extremely strong for you guys back east who may need Utah. Chopping 
up WYLL and cheating KHPP badly.

Final and 4th newie is KEIN 1 KW from Great Falls MT. I noted MYL/NOS mx and 
recalled that this is their format. Amazingly almost no WIBA or other QRM 
and a fine long promo for a health fair mentioning MSU and Great Falls 
Techical College 2148 and into mx and then an ID at 2151. I don't get too 
many 1 KWers nearly 1200 miles away on crowded regionals, although a few can 
sneak in from far far south in deep AU's.

Quite often tonite, distant western stations are skipping right over closer 
semi-pests.  73 KAZ Barrington IL.. R8A, Quantum Phaser and terminated 
phased BOG's at 271 degrees, 355 ft // 532 ft (I measured everything this 
past weekend)
