Trans-Pacific hets and some new graveyard logs this weekend

[Kilokat7]

The MW DX season is getting closer.  I started early and caught four news ones this weekend including three new ones on the graveyard channels:

1060 WKMQ Tupelo, MS. - 8/2/2014 0305 UTC - Clear call letter ID coming out of a local ad with mention of 101.1 FM. Weak but clear and mostly alone during ID.  960w days / 12w nights - very happy to catch this one!

1230 WXCO Wausau, WI. - 8/2/2014 1059 UTC - With TOH ID "Your hometown, your radio station, AM 1230 W-X-C-O Wausau."

1230 WSAL Logansport, IN. - 8/2/2014 1103 UTC - With local ad for Indiana Beach and into local weather for Logansport, call letter ID.

1240 CJCS Stratford, ON. - 8/2/2014 0105 UTC - Presumed with ads mentioning Ontario and Canadian public service type announcement. Good during brief signal peak.

Sunrise skip was interesting on Saturday morning with several trans-pacific carriers noted on the high end of the band on 1017 (likely Tonga), 1035 & 1503 (both probably New Zealand).

Congrats on the TP carriers, KK; looking forward (with envy) to your amazing logs thru the upcoming season!

Thanks!  Seems I noticed T-P sunrise conditions were really kicking in beginning in mid August last year.  So begins another season of chasing these elusive signals...
