     KDHX 88.1 was noted off the air on the afternoon of June 12, enabling me to pull in WNLD and WPTH. Both are relatively low power, but it took a stroke of luck to pull those two in. I tried for KCOU Columbia MO, but came up empty. WDLJ 97.5 is officially in my logbook now; they’re relatively strong at my QTH whenever my antenna is pointed toward southern Illinois.
     The opening on June 22 was a combination Es and trop opening, where trop was masking the MUF. I did pull in KEPX Eagle Pass TX (across the Rio Grade from Piedras Negras CL) with Spanish language Christian programming. At the same time I was pulling in southern and western Missouri via trop. I also added a new trop catch in KLJC 88.5 in Kansas City. It turned out to be the only Kansas City station in, pulling it in through KUMR. I thought I had WGCA Quincy IL at first, but the legal ID for KLJC was a welcome surprise! The calls stand for King and Lord Jesus Christ.
     July 17 also noted a new station in WNIJ 89.5 (their website lists WNIU as being on 90.5) with BBC World Service // KWMU 90.7. On the morning of July 19, though, the band really opened up. With South Dakota in on my television set and on the NOAA weather radio frequencies, I thought I’d try my luck on FM. Sure enough, KNBZ 97.7 made it in with semi-local KHCR nulled. The jingle ID clinched it for me. KISD was my only new Minnesota logging, noted with oldies from the ‘50s through the ‘70s (not common for FM, which has shed most pre-British Invasion hits). KUQL 98.3 was a major surprise, even with a local on 98.1! The mention of nearby Huron clinched that one. By 1100, the action had shifted into Nebraska and Kansas; after 1800, these two states were still in. Lincoln was even noted on my car radio while I was getting my dinner! One of the few excuses I had to keep the shortwave converter off! The 700th station at this QTH was noted in the form of KPOW 97.7 (again with KHCR nulled); could never get this one on 97.1 due to KFTK. Another station I got in my logbook was KJCK 97.5. I never logged it on 94.5 due to Kirksville being on the frequency, and a local on 94.7. This was also the first time I noted KFH on FM; the AM side (1330) had made it to this QTH on occasion. The she show it was carrying, “Coast-to-Coast AM,” now originates from KTRS (AM) in St. Louis. Also noted new calls on 93.1 in Pratt KS (they now rimshot Wichita). The final new station noted was KSKU 106.1 (KOQL was notably absent). I also worked an amateur radio operator in Coffeyville KS on 146.520 MHz; he was kind enough to “roger” me into a simplex net in Oklahoma! If you are looking for a reason why God made Oklahoma, then the DX could be it, hi! 73, Eric (N0UIH)
