2008 TV and radio E-skip and Tropo highlights
May 29th and 30th, 2008
Strange year here so far in 2008. On May 29, I set my short FM skip record with WEGX, Dillon, SC at 445 miles and May 30 brought Calgary, Canada FM stations in. I had a new long skip record with 1676 miles with ID'ing CKFM 96.5 Olds, Alberta, Canada and a close second on 98.5 CIBK Calgary at 1670 miles.
All the while, I've had no real strong opening. Just weak, choppy skip with many stations noted but few identified. Here's a couple of audios from tonight. I didn't start recording until I realized exactly what distance of skip I had going on but managed to capture Swift Current at least.
The E-skip opening lasted a couple of hours and this station was the only prominent DX the whole time. Later in the day, the western half of the US experienced skip into the FM band.
