1098 Marshalls into Michigan 1120 UTC 9/25/2017

This is the type of DX that makes it all worth it.  Hearing weak exotic island music cutting through the noise, even if it does last for only 90 seconds, and then realizing you're hearing this on the crowded AM dial, from the Midwest!  Here's V7AB Radio Marshalls with an appearance again this morning:

I suspect us landlocked Midwesterners only have 2-3 more weeks of this kind of enhanced MW propagation that centers around the Fall (and Spring) Equinox.

Congrats!

FWIW, there was an amazing DGPS opening last night as well, to the Pacific NW, after weeks of poor reception. Maybe all those HAARP tests last week fixed the ionosphere  ;D
