Very interesting Pat. I was fortunate to hear Vista once, as KMLO, from
Sacramento way way back in 1967 on a sunday morning in early december,
around 7: 30 in the morning. Like you I've tried many times after that
for KCEO with no luck at all. Back in 2003 I had only 7 stations in CA
I had never heard + 22 others not heard under current calls but logged
on previous calls. The 7 never heard were: 610-KAVL-Lancaster (thanks
to local on 610..did hear KAVL from Iowa in the early 50s when they were
on 1340). 1040-KURS-San Diego..no sign here (yet). 1050-KMAP-Frazier
Park (my local here went up from 1000 watts daytime to 50 kw 24/7 in the
last 20 years). 1100-KAFY Bakersfield (again, I have a 50 kw local
here). 1320-KSDT
Hemet; 1340-KWXY-Cathedral City (tried many, many, many times but no
go). 1550-KWRN-Apple Valley (got nearly everyone but them thru my 10kw
local)...Pardon me if some of the above have changed calls in the last 8
years. I need to bring my log up to date :-) .

Even back in the mid 80s when we were getting lots of strong AU
conditions that knocked out everything to the North & East, all I got
was KRAK Sacramento stronger. I got lots of low power goodies through
those years, Pomona 1220, Inglewood 1460, Paso Robles 1230, Mojave 1340,
Coalinga 1470, to name a few. Many with night lp too. Great DX during
that period for rare Central & Southern CA stations. But no sign on Lake
Isabella 1140. I have a few most wanted CA's and that one is one of
them, along with Vista 1000. Tried over and over for Vista on 1000 when
KOMO was off, but nothing other than Chicago, Oklahoma City and Brazil
(Radio Record). I sure would like to see those days return. However when
I do get decent CA cx, not outstanding like the 80, I get so darn much
IBOC. Those antennas of mine work, but often they work too well. I get a
taste of what the So IBOC noise is without being there. hi.
