Perseids Ms Catches

[Dave-OR]

Here are a few, just for fun. Perseids were kind of a bust last night, but I spent my time on 2 challenging frequencies.

99.9

KGOR Omaha NE, 1282 miles
KEKB Fruita CO (Grand Junction), 728 miles
KXLY Spokane WA, 323 miles (this was close, but DEFINITELY Ms)

106.9

KASS Casper WY, 747 miles

Outstanding Ms catches Dave!
I recorded 3.5 hours last night while I zzzz and not a single id out of dozens of 3-10 second burns and hundreds of pings.

I have one today (Aug 13) id'ed
The 101.7 Country 1650z is surely KBKB Fort Madison, Iowa at 755 miles. I hear weakly "Country's 101.7 The Bull"

And one very impressive burn on a Spanish grupera station on 101.7 Thursday night at 0349z about 70 seconds long.

The 99.1 1844z might be KJIL or KTLI? both are religious format. It almost keyed RDS too but I don't see anything that matches on the RDSlist.com

Randy, I can practically guarantee that it wasn't KJIL, as they most definitely do NOT run RDS. I've had them in every Es opening to KS and they don't run it (whereas many W KS stations do, surprisingly!)

I have had two today (Aug 13) that are close to id but nothing 100% positive.
The 101.7 Country 1650z has a generic slogan "country 101.7" which might be KVOE Emporia, KS but maybe not....

This one took me a little while to figure out; on first listen I didn't hear the "downtown St Paul" at the beginning. Based on the temperature report (it was in the 80's in almost the entire US that night) I finally narrowed it down, then heard the city. My first Ms, so I am very happy!

Congrats, Brett! I just started Ms DXing seriously last Winter, and it's really added to the hobby. I'm at 156 stations via Ms now.
