Nice catch!  They are weak here, 80 miles away!

 This evening I reversed the feed and termination points on my broadside

 HSFB to my west. New with HSFB was KAIR from KS. I have enough directivity
 to slice past WMBD but the usual was then KWAY.

 My 2300 Perseus recording had a couple of California ments during an ad
 about 1 minute prior to ToH o/u KELO and then at the TOH somewhat under a
 weak KELO there's a KCTC call and West Sacramento and ESPN 1320 mention.
 Even if they left day pattern on, this doesn't put all that much of their 5
 kW in my direction! Shocked to log this!

 On 1430 I also was able to add KLO with a decent signal and dominant at
 the same time! KLO was also just logged in Michigan's UP by John Reiger.
  Are they running day power at night?

 Anytime I've improved my antenna system's directivity I've improved my DX.
