My sunrise DX has been less than stellar this season, despite a new log yesterday (1170 WCLN Clinton NC). Not sure why but I'm doing much better at sunset than at sunrise so far this season.
And what's up with the FM Es? Big openings to Mexico yesterday from the central US. Looks more like July than August!

October 10, 2009- Unusual FM Opening
We don't get much Es on the east coast in October, so the surprise opening on October 10 was a pleasant surprise.
I was driving around town when I noticed very strong signals on 88.3 and 88.7, which are two of my "clear" channels. When I got home, I noticed signals up the band and other DXers were reporting Es up to the top of the band.
Logs from the October 10 opening:
92.3 WLWI Montgomery AL, 759 miles at 15:45 with SEC football post-game show, ISP sports, call ID
89.5 WPCS Pensacola FL, 903 miles, 15:50, //webstream, Rejoice Broadcasting Network, Christian music
89.5 WGTF, Dothan AL, 784 miles, 15:50, swapping with WPCS, Bible Broadcasting Network
93.9 WYTK, Rogersville AL, 717 miles, 16:45, SEC football post-game show
92.5 WPAP Panama City FL, 824 miles, 16:50, country music
The TV Dxers were reporting double-hop from Ontario to Columbia and Venezuela, but nothing that exotic on the FM bands.
