All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; or Sony SRF-59 as specified; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E/W longwire as specified 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 All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open access: http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page22 These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of USA, unidentified, separated by ======= Within each, they are in frequency order Last week my single post showed up more than once on some lists. I don`t know why, and I am not doing it! ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1640, April 5 at 0524 UT I find local KZLS in open carrier/dead air. So I dare to turn up the volume and turn the DX-398 around to find what else I can hear. There are two SAHs, one fast and one slow, and two audios --- one with Spanish music, which would be KBJA in Sandy, Utah, and one English sports, which would be WTNI in Biloxi MS; 0529 UT promo for ESPN. In fact, I can still hear them without nulling the KZLS carrier. But 0530 UT, KZLS resumes with Blaze Radio ``news``. Unfortunately KZLS dead air is sporadic, altho not unusual, unlike KGWA 960 which more than half the time provides a Fox-hole at 0500-0505 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
===================== ** U S A. 740, April 7 at 1240 UT, Houston ad, Gallery Furniture, traffic on the 610 and Katy Freeway, making 3 Hz SAH with KRMG Tulsa OK which I have carefully nulled. Usually it`s too strong on day pattern to get anything past it, but SRS is helping KTRH Houston. KTRH day and night patterns both have big lobes to its southwest and deep nulls toward us; out of whack? Its 50 kW may be common elsewhere, but not here. Meanwhile KRMG is running a political ad, ``don`t send our jobs to Texas`` sponsored by the anti-tax oil & gas industry which controls Oklahoma (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 860, April 4 at 1210 UT, no doubt KKOW Pittsburgh KS, as `CBS World News Roundup` concludes with an item that a super-accurate new atomic clock has been installed at NIST Boulder. So I guess WWV will be even more precise now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 890, April 7 at 1251 UT, classic ``Release Me, Let Me Go``, looping NW/SE, and KTLR OKC to the SSE can be more or less nulled, but music quickly fades out. Presumably KJME Fountain CO, nostalgia format (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1140, April 7 at 1300 UT, tune-in catches partial ID by YL in English, ``Liberty, and 102.9 FM``, into ABC News, fadeout. So KCXL Liberty MO which does have such an FM translator duplicator, and which I recently confirmed to be in Spanish before 1300 UT. Wish I had heard the transition (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]
