Re: [IRCA] 1250
KWSU holds a special place in my DXing annals. Back in the late 1980s and on into the early days of 1991, I lived on my parents' farm just to the east of Council Bluffs, Iowa. I had a "Most Wanted" list of stations from all around the country that I had targeted, and 3 of them were KWSU-1250, KOAC-550, and KUAT (now KUAZ)-1550. In short, the 3 NPR stations on AM that broadcast from Pac-10 universities. The last of those I got with little trouble, as it was a regular visitor at Tuscon sunset every winter. I never did get KOAC. But KWSU paid a visit to the farmhouse in the wee hours of January 7, 1991, just 5 days before I moved off the farm and 200 miles east to Iowa City. At 0200 Central Time, I got a faint reception of KWSU's sign-off, which included mentions of "...now ends another broadcast day..." and "KWSU is located...". 1133 miles from transmitter to QTH, across the Rockies at 5 kw on a crowded regional channel. Needless to say, it was my best catch ever from the farm. 73,Rick DauSouth Omaha, Nebraska EN21af

Another new logging for me.. this one at about 600 miles to my northeast.
The signal was very weak and almost buried in the mud at times, but heard a mention or two of NPR and their typical delivery style during news reports.. so this would be KWSU Pullamn, WA
Caught just about 5:20 pm or so, still on day power.
