The last two weeks I've been looking at the new Radio Timetraveller coverage maps that was mentioned here yesterday. (I guess I should have posted here when I saw that they had been updated!) I'm using the maps to focus on specific stations that I should be able to get. That was quite successful in the wee hours this morning with two new near-1000 mile catches (6-foot tuned loop, 23-foot tuned vertical, Quantum Phaser, RTL-SDR):
1510 KGA, Spokane WA, weak at 2:59am (0959UT), 15000W, call (new; phaser), 932 miles 1540 KEDA, San Antonio TX, weak at 2:21am (0921UT), 1000W, call (new; phaser), 902 miles KGA was particuarly devious and I was lucky that one of the fade ups coincided with the TOH call, as KCKK was doing it's usual hogging of the frequency. So, in exactly 6 months I've logged 437 stations here. You can see what this looks like on Google Maps: https://azswdxing.wordpress.com/am-bcb-radio-stations-received/ I've linked to my blog page that links to the map in case the Google link changes. If you have some sort of Google account (gmail, youtube, etc.), you can upload a spreadsheet to Maps with labels and lat-lon pairs and it will plot up the data for you. When I get a chance I'm going to include more information in the pop-up labels.
