HOT TIPS May, 2026
NOTES/QUOTES!
May 26: heard C&W on 1270 not for a few seconds. w/cx as they were, WRJC-WI? Heard only ONE time in 5+ decades! Will never know!
May 22: A couple of quick loggings. May is usually pretty quiet. Also: Strong Sporadic E reported into FM yesterday (May 21) and also going today. I could hear signals coming and going on FM but nothing punched through enough to ID.
May 18: Bad storms o/night, lightning crashes on AM, bad cx overall
May 14: Open wide of late:950 1150 1160 1380
May 12: Odd w/Chicago 950,1160 totally gone! Yesterday was nothing noted. Sat on 950 for 15 mins. WWJ w/others
May 7: Not much DX here due to there being lots of yardwork and other things. Local 1340 WTRC is off for unknown reasons. So far, three new ones. Lots to still review.
May 5: More snow (big flakes) this morning. Doesn't seem to end, hi. Cx not all that great.
May 3: DX really dried here up here, but plenty of storms.
May 2: Still a nice long window here for SRS.
May 1: Snowed earlier this morning. Merry Christmas. Quite a few got aways too. Season not done at all
