[IRCA] Sunset Skip (SSS) Top Ten Targets

[Les Rayburn <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Earl Higgins made some good suggestions. But his reply pointed out how 
veteran DX'ers can sometimes assume that everyone is as familiar with 
the AM Band as they are. I didn't know exactly where each station was 
located, and felt the need to add a few notes to help me log them. If 
you're keeping score at home, or just compiling your own target list, 
you might want to add the following:


660 KTNN, Widow Rock, AZ (Navaho language) 50KW, nighttime pattern 
protects WFAN in NYC. Look for them before pattern change
720 KDWN Las Vegas, NV 50KW, nighttime directional. News/Talk format. 
"K-DAWN". Look for them before pattern change
850 KOA  Denver, CO 50KW, Clear Channel-Check for this powerhouse to 
appear earlier and louder than normal.
1030 KTWO  Casper, WY 50 KW, nighttime pattern protects WBZ in Boston. 
Mix of country and news-talk format. Look for them before pattern change
1160 KSL Salt Lake City, UT 50KW, News-Talk format-Listen for this one 
to appear earlier and louder than normal
1580 KMIK Tempe, AZ 50KW Radio Disney format- Check before pattern 
change, sometimes after.




Of these, I've logged KTNN, KOA, and KSL only. But I haven't tried for 
them at sunset yet. What would be the best bet for a station in 
Washington state? Any other recommendations to fill out the Top Ten? 
Seems I recall a target station in South Dakota (?) that used to be 
pretty well heard at SSS...as I recall, they broadcast farm reports, 
commodities pricing, etc. Content really stood out from the usual fare.

Thanks Earl!
