Central Ohio frequency, call and station changes in 2010/2011

• WWCD 101.1 (A) moved to 102.5 (B1) Baltimore, OH which was a former move of 102.5 WHIZ (B) Zanesville, OH which downgraded and moved west to get closer to Columbus. They now call themselves "CD101 at 102.5 FM"
  
• WWCD became WOSA "Classical 101" part of Ohio State University's radio network.
  
• WOSU 89.7 became all NPR/local talk.
• 101.7 WNKO (A) "Cool 101.7" moved west from Newark to New Albany, OH and became a B1 to be closer to Columbus.
  
• 101.7 WKSW (A) Urbana, OH moved west to new frequency 101.5 WCLI (A) "Click FM" Enon, OH to become part of Dayton's market.
  
• 90.1 WXML Upper Sandusky signed on as a class B which will probably be a tropo pest to the Michigan DXers.
  
• 91.9 WXMF Marion, OH signed on in 2010 as a class A.
  
• Most, if not all of the new station changes went on without IBOC.

Really old, outdated DX stuff

Make one good antenna from two Antennacraft FM-6's.

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.

#1: 94.1 CIMG Swift Current, Saskatchewan 1388 miles.

#2: 94.1 CIMG Swift Current, Saskatchewan 1388 miles.

KWGN-2 Denver, CO

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.
