Mon 11 August: Es
11.11 ** WQCP-FM 91.1 Fort Pierce, FL - Faded up, RDS decoded. Mary J Blige record, RDS showed Q 91 FM playlist match.
11.12 ** -FM 91.1 - Faded up over above with "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac, and lost. Thinking Society Hill, SC but can't count it; no RDS and can't find any playlists anywhere. Lost.
11.19 ** WFKS-FM 95.1 Melbourne, FL - Faded up with lots of QSB; local ads, including one for Cocoa. Lost.
11.28 ** WFCH-FM 88.5 Charleston, SC - Poor with QSB; Family Radio.
11.33 ** WJFR-FM 88.7 Jacksonville, FL - Faded up over local CIMX for a moment with religious spot, clearly heard Website promo! Quickly lost to local again. New catch!
11.42 ** WVDA-FM 88.5 Valdosta, GA - Faded up strong enough to decode RDS, AFR programming. Quickly lost.
11.43 ** -FM 88.5 - Faded up strong with High Seas Forecast, spots mentioning Beacon Mobile and something else about campus safety, then the Tropical Weather Forecast from the National Weather Service of Miami, as of 8:00 AM on August 11. Lots of QSB. Seemed to be right from NWS, but no idea who this might have been. Lost.
Very hit or miss, and lots of QSB. Mostly miss. Still, not bad for this late in the season.

About K211DY...90.1 had only THREE Sonlife stations listed, all translators. SD would not be it, and IL would be more tropo. While there was SOME tropo in here, it wasn't THAT strong. Plus, Natchitoches seems to be more or less in the same area as everything else at the time. For an opening that only lasted about 45 minutes or so, it was not too bad!

And this completes the Eastern USA for states represented in my logs. Only took me about thirty years of DXing FM to catch NH and VT; the last three I need to complete the Lower 48 -- ID, OR, and NV -- are going to be considerably harder!
Lots of people around me got lots more from the eastern opening. Nothing stayed in much, except for CBAX. Still, three new ones from SD is three new ones!
