AM carrier first noticed at 0326z tuning up, vintage cigarette ad, then music - Patsy Cline "Crazy".  Pink Floyd "Is there anybody out there" heard mixing with Patsy Cline at 0333z.  Perhaps two stations on top of each other...No ID yet.

Other / Low Band DX hot right now - 0200z 6/30/2013

Tons of Spanish FM two-way stations coming in at the moment between 29 and 35 MHz.  E skip perhaps?  Don't know, this is new territory for me as I've never caught anything above 29 mhz on the SDR before.

Some new AM stations heard this morning at 1000 UTC (6am local), thanks to the recent geomagnetic storm (bad for HF, but things get interesting on MW):

970 KHVN Fort Worth, TX. (1kw/270w) - Weak but clear with gospel music show "Praise After Dark", call letter ID just prior to TOH.

1020 KOKP Perry, OK. (400w/250w!) - Faint but clear ID for //1580 KOKB with slogan "Fox Sports Triple Play" and into FOX News after TOH.

1140 KPWB Piedmont, MO. (1kw) - C/W music and slogan "104.9, Kickin' Country 105".

1240 KIUL Garden City, KS. (1kw/1kw) - With dual ID at TOH for KIUL Garden City and KYUL Scott City, weak but very clear IDs.  851 mile graveyard haul!

1380 KXCA Lawton, OK. (1kw/1kw) - With a very clear TOH ID over the IBOC hash. 

1410 KGSO Wichita, KS. (5kw/1kw) - Very faint call letter ID heard under dominant KGRN.

1490 KDRO Sedalia, MO. (780w/780w) - With c/w music and "Hometown Country" slogan.

Also had a nice relog of 700 XEDKR "Radio Red" Guadalajara (no sign of WLW).

S8-S9 AM carrier tuning up at 0252z and into new-age song.  Seems to be some long pauses between songs containing very low audio, talk and possible ID, but audio too low to comprehend.  Musical tracks are coming through decent though.  Definite female robo IDs given at 0312:  "..... Radio", but tough over the static.  Abruptly off during Frampton at 0317z.

I can just make out some music right above the static @ 0119z, maybe female punk but difficult to tell, measures about 6950.08 kHz.  Possible ID or announcement at 0121z.

ID at 0127z sign-off, sounded like "spongy radio" or "grungy radio" or similar.
