FIRST and LAST are the respective logging dates (in mm-dd-yy format) of the station by Es.

Whenever possible, the CALL letters are those in use at the time of the FIRST Es logging.  Any call in parentheses was the one being used when it was LAST logged.  Some of these stations have gone thru call letter changes over the years so any call that they are now currently using could be even yet different.

Where transmitter coordinates are known, the distances have been calculated.   Otherwise, the Feb 1968 National Geographics US Map (72 mi/in) was used for measuring to the center of the city of licensee, with that then being rounded off to the nearest 5 miles.  Various other maps were used for the non-border Mexico stations as there is a distinct lack of coordinate information available for them.

My location prior to 06-17-72 era was about 6 miles sw of the current QTH, and any milage variations resulting from that move are not taken into account here.  Only around a dozen Es stations were uniquely logged from that prior address.

Equipment used from Nov 1970-Aug 1973 was mostly a Wards AM/FM/POLICE portable with indoor wire, with some use of an Allied 426 tuner from July of 1972 with an Archer V-100 at 20' with rotor.  After that an SX-62 with some simple International Crystal preamps, using a 6-el Archer FM yagi at 20' from Apr 1977.  Since October 1979 the current Realistic TM-1001 tuner has been used with two of its four 10.7-MHz ceramic i.f. filters being replaced with 150-kHz bandpass units in June 1990.
