Re: [IRCA] New logging - 870 KJMP CO in OR

["Dave Williams" <beansdad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

73 - Dave Williams
