All times and dates strictly UT [5 hours ahead of `ELT` during EST; when
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-05 UT period
to the previous date by ELT].
Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S
inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; IC-R75
with E-W longwire
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:

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of
USA, unidentified [if any], separated by ======= Within each, they are in
frequency order
[Note: altho MW clubs are reluctant to publish logs like the following, I
classify them as MWBC, since: MW really extends up to 3000 kHz; and, these are
one-way: broadcasts, not two-way. This also applies to harmonics of MW stations
falling below 3000 kHz; in fact, even above 3000 such spurious transmissions
are certainly relevant to MW]
** CANADA. 2749-USB, Feb 4 at 0454 UT, YL robotic English marine weather, VP S7
at same level as noise.
2598-USB, Feb 4 at 0455 UT, sounds like same YL with robotic marine weather,
gale warning, mentions times in EST, and then AST; slow fades past 0458 UT.
Surprised to find this stronger than 2749, not usually the case with NS vs NL
distances. Don`t have two receivers at hand to match them, but at this hour may
well be // and both from Québec as per Canadian CG listings, from most recent
start times, and nothing further after these for a few hours:
0437 UT, 2598, VCF Les Escoumins, site: Natashquan QC 50 08 40 -61 48 00
0437 UT, 2749, VCF Les Escoumins, site: La Vernière QC 47 21 26 -61 55 36

** OKLAHOMA. 1600, Feb 8 at 2110 UT, KUSH Cushing with several classic country
and classic rock tunes; 2116 UT ad string including promo for News9 (KWTV)`s
latest weather gadget coming soon; 2118 UT ``Oklahoma`s Americana Station, KUSH
1600 and KUSH.com, The Kush``. No longer with talkshows in afternoon, such as
the sparsely-affiliated Marilu Henner show.
Upgrade from 1 to 5 kW ND daytime was completed some time ago, resulting in
slightly better groundwave signal here; with 70 watts at night, we`d never know
it exists vs the skywave from Denver, St Louis, Dallas, etc. In fact, during
above log occasional fades produced SAH of 5 or 6 Hz, probably from Vietnamese
Metroplexer KRVA, which is its major nemesis once skywave starts to kick in

** U S A. 770, Feb 3 at 0248 UT, plugs for ``promo code W-A-B-C`` to some 800
number, vs CCI, presumably including KKOB/KKOB. Unusual for WABC NJ to make it
~1315 miles out to here. In case you think it`s in New York, check this
coverage map
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WABC&service=AM&status=L&hours=N
which shows it not even reaching Scranton at night from just east of Clifton
NJ; never mind skywave (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Feb 8 at 1334 UT, extended weather forecast, ``Newstalk 770 and
92.5, WVNN, where Alabama talks, depend on it``, 1335 UT on to `live & local
Dale? Dave? Jackson Show. I was expecting to hear bleed from KKOB/KKOB already,
8 minutes after sunrise here, but WVNN is in full daytime, not faded out yet,
7000/250 watts U2, Athens AL. 92.5 is not a mere translator, but 3.1 kW WVNN-FM
licensed to Trinity AL, which is way down the other side of Decatur.
Too bad Athenians can`t listen to WABC at night. NRC Pattern Book indicates
WVNN is the closest non-daytimer 770 to WABC, i.e. 817 statute miles by air,
per distancefromto.com --- that`s enough for no ``clear channel` protexion

** U S A. 880-CUSB, Feb 8 at 0455 UT, KHAC Tse Bonito NM is dominant with no
LSB, as always running 10 kW day power at night, and at :55 past most hours for
about 2 minutes, interrupting programming for `American Family News` which is
anything but, pushing far-right agenda, pro-Gorsuch & pro-DeVos (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1060+, Feb 8 at 1338 UT, KIJN Farwell TX, Spanish ad with heavy
gringo accent for a pro-beef cattle-feeder in nearby Hereford TX, back to
praise music; off-frequency on hi side making usual fast SAH with anything else
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1590, Feb 8 at 1352 UT, KVGB Great Bend KS with `News from the Oil
Patch` by guy with non-radio voice; ads for petroleum businesses such as
fishing lost equipment out of wells (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
