- Added 1000 KOMO, 27-09-16.
Conditions not so good to Asia this evening, but overnight was interesting and I think I had west coast USA.
Overall, I didn't hear a lot of North American signals. The few which were present were mostly very weak, but the following were worthy of note:
1510 had three stations around 0500: A sports station on a low offset; WMEX Boston MA around the centre of the frequency; Then an oldies station slightly higher than WMEX. I only caught WMEX's ID.
1520 also had three stations around 0500: WWKB. A talk station, plus a country music station. The latter may have been KKXA Snohomish WA.
Finally to 1000, also around 0500: Two US talk stations were fighting it out. WMVP was winning with ESPN IDs. But who was the other station? It has to be KOMO Seattle WA. But could I get an ID? No! It just faded nicely at the top of the hour, allowing WMVP to dominate.
So, I think I can safely say that west coast USA made it through this morning, even though I didn't catch an ID from presumed KOMO. Actually, I thought I heard a mention of "Komo News" at one point, but it was too weak to be certain. Let's hope things continue to improve.
Good DX!
