Railroad Skip. (DXing)

[BNSFrailfan]

Hi everyone.
Yesterday and just this morning I recorded some Video/Audio of some Railroad Radio action when the Railroad DXing was at it's strongest. In the morning. I was receiving very strong DXing from the Union Pacific and the BNSF Railway. It was just unreal. I would hear Train Dispatchers as far away as 200 Miles away. Have a good weekend.

The midwest was red several hours ago indicating maximum propagation.

I have the Kansas City one. A lot of it is outdated like the freqs that are listed they may or may not still use those. Other things are like sidings or detectors not listed, but then the timetable only goes to 1999. Its still a very good resource to have with you.

I was in Indiana and there was some super blockbuster ducting going on to Illinois. I even heard a detector a good 140 miles away. Not bad for something that CSX has turned the power down as low as they can on the detector radios.....
