Late for the logging (I had a busy evening collecting my daughter after her big trip to DC) but recorded the show and am pleased to say that the signal was up to SIO 333 at times. First logging of the Relay Station yet! You can make it out west. Thanks for the show!

thanks MDK2.
i did expect those results after observing my signal strengths on several SDR's located around the US and abroad.
not bad for 500w especially on AM but the "mirror in the sky" should take %95 of the credit ;)
if i came to the party a bit earlier before the band stretched her legs (and most left for the night), the local reports would have been better but despite that, i enjoyed the hour long broadcast.
i was actually listening on my RSP2 for awhile before i decided to broadcast (also checking out QAM256 streams from my internet/cable)
im surprised Chris was able to receive anything at that point in time considering the signal should have flew right over his QTH as observed on nearby remote SDR's.
but then again, Chris has an amazing setup that can catch signals most of us cant even see on the spectrum.
edit:
thanks for the thread discussion link Chris, an interesting read for sure.

There's actually an interesting paper I just found the other day (due to some searching I did based on a discussion with MDK2 in fact) titled "Nighttime above-the-MUF HF propagation on a midlatitude circuit".  There's a link in the Propagation thread: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,42441.0.html
