Nice e-mail received late yesterday from Dusty Rhodes at WDJO Florence KY. He confirms my October 21 2006 reception of the station (October 20 according to EDT). He writes: "We are running 5,000 watts days, but just 990 watts nights – and have been impacted by WYLL in Chicago going from 5,000 watts to 50,000 watts nights. They are supposed to be directional north from southwest of Chicago, but there is a lobe coming down here which is killing our nighttime signal in the northern parts of our market. Surprising that we bounced into your part of the world." Surprising? Yes! DX-ing is a hobby full of surprises. That is why the hobby is so exciting.
By the way, WDJO is my second verified Kentucky station. Except from WHAS-840, Kentucky is a quite difficult state DX-wise in our part of the world. So, thank you, Dusty!
