KKOK 95.7FM, MN, 7/4/2025, 1300 UTC, Sporadic "E".

Woke up to country tunage on WVTS's translator FM FREQ 95.7FM. Even heard the full ID / Promos / Liners at 9AM WV EST time to hear it was KKOK, a 100kW blow torch.  https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?sr=Y&s=C&call=kkok&nav=home  And, this was on that little Yorek YK-901 DSP portable, connected to a VHF High Band Delta Loop. Sure enough, CB was nuts and 6M FM 52.525MHz Simplex was full of CQ-CQ's. So, quite a "E" opening indeed, and totally over took that WVTS translator for minutes at a time. NICE!!!! BTW, the Delta Loop is the VHF version of this,  https://archive.org/details/pren2mdvuhfindoortvantennaandtestpdf/6342862%2C%20Pamphlet%2011-2014%2C%20hi%20res/   Being, the VHF High Version, centered for 200MHz, no real gain for the FM BC Band, but it still is very bi-directional, and is in a North / South facing on the wall.
