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:

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
** CANADA. 1610, May 20 at 0558 UT, again no IBOC from 1600 KATZ St. Louis to
block: ``CHHA, Radio Voces Latinas, 1610-AM`` ID; 0559 plug for ``su noticiero
Panorama, de lunes a viernes``, promo some 21 de mayo event in Toronto.
And no IBOC either from KEPN Lakewood CO at a right angle to block Anguilla.
Holding breath/crossing fingers that both be gone for good, but one is often
ultimately disappointed in such cases (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1722,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
==================
** U S A. 690, UT Friday May 16 at 0501 UT, KGGF Coffeyville KS is playing the
Marine Hymn, in its rotating patriotic music sign-off, and as always followed
at 0502 UT by Taps (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110, UT Friday May 16 at 0128 UT, KFAB is sufficiently nullable to
hear something in English, but S Asian accent, inviting requests to be called
in for next show; says he will be back tomorrow morning, and then Tuesday
night, bit of S Asian music. Deep fades; 0130 UT canned ID in English as ``----
Radio, KVTT, 11-10 AM, Mineral Wells-Dallas-Fort Worth``, and more S Asian
vocal music. Radio-locator.com shows slogan as ``FunAsia Radio``. Wikipedia
link to program schedule shows different hosts at those times:
http://www.funasia.net/radio.php?radio_id=1
And includes, Hindu, Moslem, Christian shows; for Indians, Pakistanis,
Bangladeshis and Nepalis (at least).
Official KVTT sunset in May is 0130 UT (June & July: 0145), but unaware of
this, I did not note any abrupt disappearance. 50 kW day pattern
http://transition.fcc.gov/ftp/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/1390900-111898.pdf
shows major lobe to the SE, secondary to the SSW and tertiary to the NW.
However now it would be on 39 kW for Critical Hours, pattern:

Licensee is Texoma Broadcasting, and it does reach into southern OK (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1220, May 16 at 1201 UT, local news of a fatality on ``K-68 near
Ottawa``, so it`s KOFO Ottawa KS, 250/40/47 watts U1. Remnant of skywave
remains on the upper band; today`s Enid sunrise 1124 UT, with about 10 minutes
to go for earliest in about 3 weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1470, May 16 at 1206 UT, promo for Newstalk 14-70, KYYW; for weather
see kyyw.com and then hour three of Bill Bennett`s `Morning in America` with
guest host Mark Davis. Abilene TX before skywave fades out (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
==============
UNIDENTIFIED. 960, May 17 at 0502 UT, the ``Let It Be`` station again, playing
instrumental-only version of the Beatles` song at the same hour as previously
heard a few times, so a midnite ritual? Perhaps a (pseudo?)-Catholic station?
This time it`s strong enough that I can get a rough bearing on it underneath
the KGWA Fox-hole open-carrier, not just at the KGWA null --- and it`s sort of
north/south, which rules out WABG in Mississippi. That would fit for XEK Nuevo
Laredo, but we already know and frequently hear it playing the Mexican NA
and/or XEW chimes at this time. KGKL in TX and KMA in IA are ruled out, since
they both run ABC News during this pentaminute, sometimes reverbing against
each other.
KNEB in Scottsbluff NE, 350 watts, is also on ABC network, but not sure what
they are doing; C&W format listed in NRC AM Log 2013. KIMP in Mount Pleasant,
NE TX is SS:Nostalgia, with 75 watts at night, not logged yet. Further ones
N/S-ish with less than 100 watts night are KFLN in Baker MT, C&W Real Country,
Fox; KLTF, Little Falls MN, talk, Fox, etc. There is another Mexican a little
further beyond XEK: Saltillo, Coahuila, XEKS, ranchera/internacional format,
per IRCA Mexican Log 2013. There`s some internet resource identifying which
stations are playing which music, but I`ve never tried to use it, especially if
must be in real time, and I don`t see how it can be anywhere near complete
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1120, May 17 at 0603 UT, no sign of the Spanish/music station in
KMOX null that I was hearing during this hour May 15, nor was it there on May
16, making me suspect KEOR OK more as an occasional nighttime cheater. KTXW has
supposedly been calling itself ``La Zeta 11-20``, rather than ``La Nueva
11-20`` which is what I thought I heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2660.02 approx, May 18 at 0142, JBA carrier a smidge on the hi
side, which I suspect is KGLD Tyler TX harmonic as previously heard on 2 x
1330. Noise level not too bad here; my streetlight does not ignite until
*0147/0148 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
