In 10 hours last night on 102.5, I had 5 usable pings (out of maybe 200 total pings), no IDs via audio, 1 ID via RDS (relog KNIX Phoenix with "wrong" PI 1023).

This on a completely open channel with no slop from locals and only minimal Tr interference from KZOK Seattle, which is 256 miles from here.

Bring on the winter Es! I'm ready!

I've noted the same conditions here, Dave. No Ms ID's in the last 2 days and I have been running on 101.7 aimed north typically from 1am-noon. Hardly any burns over 3 seconds and often no more than 5-10 total pings in an hour. It should pick up about New Years. Aqua-something-ids has always been good.

Yes, last year Jan 4-6 I had a tremendous number of Ms loggings.

Here's hoping!
