850 KEYH, Houston, TX heard in Wisconsin, 05-08
« on: May 09, 2013, 0419 UTC »
Caught this one completely unexpectedly.  Here's the log I wrote after getting back to the apartment.  QTH for this catch was my go-to location when I'm DXing, the Wisconsin state capitol lawn.  I'm amazed how faint KOA was; I didn't think anything could drown that flamethrower out! 

850, KEYH - La Ranchera 85, Houston, Texas, 0203-0213.  Ranchero music with one clear male voice ID between songs, wording might have varied a little, but the ID itself was plain: "La musica de mi tierra, la ranchera ocho cincuenta."  The music of my land, la ranchera 85.  Signal good at first, fading down to fair.  Only a whisper of KOA in Denver audible beneath.  SINPO 33344.
