These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives without much delay, such as http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html These logs are in four sexions, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of USA, unidentified, separated by ======= Within each, they are in frequency order ** OKLAHOMA. 530, July 20 at 0530 UT, ``K530AM``, Vance AFB has modified its incredibly boring rotation of PSAs slightly: how to prepare for hurricane evacuation! Tho by the time they occasionally get here, there is no threat to shorelines or high winds, just lots of rain. And H1N1, plus the perpetual one about booster seats for children in cars (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 960, July 22 at 0500-0505 UT, KGWA Enid provides another Fox-hole of dead air, mainly inhabited by ABC news echoing, presumably KMA/KGKL. With the DX-398 hand-held in precise null of KGWA, its weakened signal is axually low enough that I can`t tell when modulation cuts back on a few seconds after 0505, and astonishingly, Spanish heard is from KGWA, not an understation: a PSA about WIC from el Departamento de Salud del Estado de Oclajoma (WIC = Women, Infants & Children, Supplemental Nutrition Program = food stamps). KGWA English programming resumes at 0506 from the business network, but when I turn it back on at 0545, dead air again! And at 0546 I can hear KMA Shenandoah IA promoting its news both from ABC and NBC (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1120, July 19 around 1930 UT, KEOR Sperry is on with praise music in Spanish; in fact whenever checked the last couple weeks in daytime, it`s always been on, with music or preaching, so may have finally settled in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ==================== ** U S A. 690, July 25 at 0525 UT, KGGF Coffeyville KS is still running open carrier after formal sign-off circa 0500 UT with taps; and presumably all-night. It`s atop presumed KTSM El Paso TX. Had not reconfirmed this in some weeks. Occasionally a late west-coast baseball game will keep KGGF in programming past local midnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 710, July 18 at 1856 UT on caradio with non-direxional antenna in Enid hotspot, I notice that KGNC Amarillo TX has the frequency to itself, hardly any sign of KCMO (originally WHB), Kansas City MO. Both are 10 kW in the daytime, but along with 5 kW KNUS Denver CO, I see in the 2005 NRC Pattern Book that all three protect each other. MKC is slightly further than AMA from here. As would be expected, KGNC puts an even better signal into OKC at about the same 400 km distance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
