Finally some E-Skip. The season is more than half over and it's way down compared to past E-Skip seasons. I tried to upload the MUF for July 9 from my computer and it keeps asking me for the URL. Oh Well

Very nice. I also experienced the opening to the northwest about two hours after you did, near St. Louis, with the highlights being CKMP-FM 90.3 Calgary (1435 miles) with RDS/PI decode and pop music audio matching the listed format. And also KEZJ-FM 95.7 Twin Falls, ID at 1285 miles but strictly a RDS/PI code automated logging. Others in my area reported getting Colorado and Wyoming at the same time.

Thanks. I had to rejoin. I tried logging in last year but I couldn't log in and tried again to no avail. Then I was able to rejoin under my old user name but unfortunately I lost my old logs through the years. Anyway I finally figured out how to upload the MUF for July 9 2023. As you can see, most of the MUF, the half way point was close to me EM79 so in theory I shouldn't have been getting any skip on FM...but I did. Anyway, I'll take it. Hopefully we'll get another opening or two before the season is over.
