1170, Sunday March 10 at 2114 UT, KFAQ Tulsa with pillow 
commercial during `Our American Stories`, the show I ran across on 
KXEL and hoped to be non-political and non-religious. KFAQ sked shows 
three relief airings each weekend, different or same episodes?
https://www.1170kfaq.com/show-lineup
Sat at 15 UT, Sun at 10 & 21 UT for two hours each.

On website I see they carry/link to KOTV News on [virtual] 6, and 
radio-locator says Griffin is the licensee; I had not realized KFAQ is 
jointly owned with KOTV & KWTV (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

1230, March 12 at 1351 UT, WBBZ Ponca City on groundwave 
ID in passing as ``Sunny 104.7``, so still branding as defunct FM 
format; I can also get 104.7 which IDs as ``New 104-7, The Bull``, NOT 
// and playing different music. 1230 does run a legal WBBZ ID at 1401 
UT.

Another check around 1830 UT finds the same situation, but also with 
``WBBZ Sunny 12-30`` IDs. I already dealt at length with this strange 
situation in my log almost 5 months ago, Oct 17, as also in DXLD 18-43
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1843.txt
So one of our rare W-call legacy stations is still confused about 
identity (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

1480, March 6 at 0119 UT, Vietnamese still in the mix, at 
times atop, from KBXD Dallas. Is it 100% VV or at least SE Asian? 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

1480, March 13 at 0155, YL in Vietnamese more or less atop 
the jumble, into music; presumed KBXD Dallas. I ask again, is it 
partly-, or all-Vietnamese now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

1480, March 13 at 0556-0606 UT, Vietnamese still being the 
main language audible here, i.e. KBXD Dallas. I decide to compare it 
to the Vietnamese always on 1560 from KGOW Houston market, which is 
now dominant and easily heard thanx to STA of ND(?) instead of 
strictly direxional nights SE into the Gulf (of Mexico, not Tonkin) 
toward S America where it used to be a common DX catch when 
desportive. By golly, sounds like the same programming on both, M&W 
chatting with lots of laughter, bits of music, and no ToH ID from 
either. But far out of synch; listening with two sets of headphones 
upon my head from the DX-398 and the R-75, I can`t decide which is 
delayed, as recognizing keywords in VV is not that easy, and it`s high 
time to snooze (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Re: Vietnamese on KGOW [1560] and maybe KBXD [1480], Stephen 
Luce, Houston TX replies on the WOR iog: 

``Glenn, The service is called Viet Radio, based here in Houston. They 
also have a sister TV station, VIETV on KTBU 55.5. I discovered that 
the radio station's morning show is simulcast on the TV station with 
in-studio cameras. Viet Radio has a website 
http://vietradio.com/ 
which autolaunches a stream of the radio station, useful for 
comparison to what you are hearing on 1560 and perhaps 1480.

Was not aware of any KGOW STA for ND at night, but it is not a station 
I give much attention, not being the target demographic`` (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

1610, March 14 at 2007 UT, NOAA Weather Radio is JBA into 
caradio on west side of Enid; no doubt WQCL720, Jet OK, near Great 
Salt Plains, relaying Wichita NWS; lots of high winds reported. Hard 
to catch locations mentioned, but one was Wellington near there, also

Tnx for the recalled ID on 2960. That one is in again this evening,

[IRCA] TP 17 Mar Victoria version.

[Nick Hall-Patch]

Despite the K5 and K4's in the previous 18 hours, that was a reasonably fair 
Asiatic morning.  The upper band was pretty dead however.



pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least 
briefly):

594 JOAK 1413UT

747 JOIB 1349UT

828 JOBB 1323 UT





Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it understandable by a 
native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

567 JOIK //594 1320UT

738 Taiwan Fisheries  1410UT; //1143 a few minutes later

774 JOUB 1422UT

873 JOGB 1410UT




not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could 
be understood by a native speaker: 

972 HLCA 1323UT




Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by 
cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) 

558 HLQH as 603 1322UT

585 JOPG //594 1353UT

603 HLSA soft music, woman talking //558 1322UT

693 JOAB //747 1421UT

702 NHK2 //774 1335UT

729 JOCK //594 1359UT

837 JOQK frantic man //594 1321UT

891 JOHK /594 1419UT

1143 Taiwan Fisheries woman talking //738 1415-16UT

1566 woman talking 1329UT, possibly Japanese, therefore HLAZ?

1593 classical piano, not //774, 1337UT; assumed CNR1, though not normal 
programming for them either?




Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged 
by splatter)

  657 666  711 846 864 909  954 1287 1422 1575 seemed to be Asian; 
  
 1548 seemed to be DU

Re: [IRCA] Australian DXer Joining November Hawaii DXpedition

[Gary DeBock]

<<< That’s great news! It should be a lot of fun comparing TP DX results! >>>

Yes, welcoming an international DXer to join a DXpedition is always a great 
opportunity to make a lifetime friend, and share a lot of great experiences 
together.

Nick, Tom and I were honored to welcome two Japanese DXers (Hiroo Nakagawa and 
Satoshi Miyauchi) to the Rockwork cliff in July of 2016, and they returned the 
favo(u)r by welcoming Nick to Japan a year later. The 2012 Yachats (OR) 
DXpedition had Mauno from Finland, Vlad from the Ukraine and Victor from Sri 
Lanka, all of whom stopped by my Rockwork cliff DXpedition motel in Cannon 
Beach for a nice visit.

In Chris R.'s case the Melbourne, Australia DXer was scheduled to visit the 
Cook Islands (Rarotonga) in June, and he asked about my DXing impressions 
there. When I told him that my most troublesome pests on Aitutaki were his 
Australia Overnight blasters 693-3AW and 1566-3NE he seemed to gain a lot of 
interest in Kauai :-)

I  ran the SDR recording 1345-1430 today but didn't have time today to 
go through the files.  A quick review of the display showed conditions 
here were like what  Nick had: good signals from low band Japanese, HLAZ 
weaker than normal, etc.


1593 classical piano, not //774, 1337UT; assumed CNR1, though not normal 
programming for them either?


I've hear this sort of programming on CNR1 several times on Sunday 
mornings.  Apparently some sort of weekend classical music feature.
