FINALLY got a moment to type this up. Cx really seemed more like tropo scatter, as nothing would hang around for very long; it would fade up for a bit, then out. WMIT and WGMV were the only ones in from their respective areas; when they came in, I checked for others in their areas, with no luck; Monday evening cx seemed quite attenuated, except for the two I noted. Very strange.

FM DX is something I have been dabbling in for a while but I'm not very proficient at it yet. I've been doing some DXing when the e-skip is occuring. So far I've logged about 100 new ones on FM.
Here are a few logs from this afternoon. Note: I usually don't keep as detailed of a log for FM and don't record program notes. Maybe I should :)
Can't wait for the AM DX season
