New state on FM!

k9rzz · Aug 14, 2016

We had a nice E's opening today from the Midwest into Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. I didn't log as many stations as others did, but I got a new state - New Mexico! This with an indoor dipole on the second floor. KLYT 88.3 is only 4kw and 1102 miles from me.

Nice catch John.

Good catch..

I got a fair bit of tropo this summer (300-400 miles), but I've never managed any E skip on the FM broadcast band.

Not bad being only a 4kw station.

Great job, am wondering what your set is and what kind of antenna are you using?

You might not get an answer. The OP hasn't been on for over a year.
In fact not since December, 2016.

Said he was using an indoor dipole. Would have liked to know which one.
