Got lucky and caught some excellent Es. 7/12 on 103.9 I’m sure it was a translator, but who? Could have been a station from out west here being translated via Es! Hope 2004 has a few days of hectic Es!

Onkyo T4087 tuner with a 6 element Radio Shack antenna at 22’
Didn’t have much time to DX as had a breakfast meeting with the local ham club, but made one good catch at 0855 CDT 4/17. Identified as a new station on 105.1 was KWMW Maljamar NM with ads for Ruidoso area. Station has several translators in the mountains of southern New Mexico. Estimated distance was about 600 miles, one of my best tropo catches and the first NM on tropo.

From the Editor
Looks like the season is off to a fine start, at least in this part of
the world. Bill Hepburn’s tropo maps keep looking better and better. Now
with a little Es we’ll really be off and running. Send those reports in
and let everyone know what you’ve been hearing! See you next month……
