All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 or
PL-880 with internal antenna only; 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

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, Aug 13 at 0151 UT, music looping ENE/WSW, 0158 UT Spanish
announcement, no doubt CHHA Toronto; was also hearing it a few minutes earlier
on the caradio. By no means a regular here, at some 1100 miles with odd 6.25
kW; day and nite patterns are both circles tangent westward with minor lobe
eastward. Audible tnx to the deletion of IBOC by 1600 KATZ St Louis a few
months ago, which N0UIH assumed would only be temporary; strangely, 1600 KEPN
Denver (Lakewood) also deleted IBOC at about the same time, clearing 1610 for
DX here in all direxions. But CHHA is the only broadcaster in North America on
1610, as the FCC is keeping 1610 for all those TIS/HAR reluctant to move to
1710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
===============
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1650, Aug 14 at 0555 UT, open carrier, dead air
obviously from KYHN Sallisaw, atop some weak Spanish, probably R. Luz, Denver,
rather than ESPN Deportes, El Paso (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
===============
** U S A. 690, Aug 11 at 0606 UT, open carrier/dead air from KGGF Coffeyville
KS per DF; still signs off slightly after local midnight 0500 UT with rotating
patriotic tunes and Taps (except for late baseball games), but not necessarily
cutting the carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 750, August 7 at 0559 UT, Spanish from KAMA El Paso TX is still
cheating, overcoming the clear channel station entitled to be heard even here,
WSB Atlanta GA; giving phone (?)522-1235 for Univisión América call-ins (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1440, Aug 14 at 1219 UT mentions ``here in Quincy``, so WGEM sports
in Illinois, but rotating soon finds another with livestock market report, ad
with 303 area code, 963-number, so obviously KRDZ Wray CO on 5 kW day ND day
pattern, official August sunrise being 1200 UT (Sept: 1230). Strangely, I am
not hearing the usual dominator, Spanish gospel 50 kW KTNO, The Metroplex TX,
not even dead air which it sometimes supplies. Then at 1227 UT there is some
Spanish with a 970-AC phone --- but 970 includes Wray, one of the two CO ACs
wrapping around Denver/Boulder area which keeps 303. So KRDZ mixes some Spanish
too? Or did I mishear 972 which would be KTNO? Wray is right next to the KS/NE
borders, a tri-state area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, Aug 8 at 0606 UT, ``16-80, KGED`` ID audible amid storm
crashes, but fades in stronger at 0607 UT resuming financial advice show.
Fresno CA, with nothing to impede it between here and there. Opposite direxion
and slightly closer however, is station with equal 1 kW ND, WOKB Winter Garden
FL, which I`ve yet to hear, also with nothing in between. Maybe it`s the fast
SAH sometimes against KGED, if not WPRR MI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
