** CANADA [and non]. 326 kHz, Nov 8 at 0802, dash and YQK, which is
200 watts from Kenora, Ontario. Also on same frequency, different
pitch, MA, 400 watts from Midland, Texas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. 341 kHz, Nov 8 at 0803 UT, no signal from Enid`s
only beacon, EI; just OIN from Oberlin KS. Of course hardly any
flights would need it at this hour of our minor regional Woodring
airport. Still no EI at 1955 UT daytime Nov 8 {but OIN is already
audible during the following hour long before sunset} (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 362 kHz, Nov 4 at 0649 UT, NDB sending dash and SB. It`s
500 watts from Greater Sudbury, Ont., per dxinfocentre.com
366 kHz, Nov 4 at 0650 UT, dash and YMW, i.e. 500 watts from Maniwaki,
Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 379 kHz, Nov 4 at 0652 UT, ND beacon RUE. It`s 25 watts from
Russellville, Arkansas. I was tuned to 380. See also CANADA for two
more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 521-MCW kHz, Nov 7 at 0720, NDBeacon ORC, 25 watts from
Orange City, Iowa. Yes, a few beacons still exist on this band just
below AMBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 720, Nov 10 at 1335 UT, TexMexmx, break for super-hype voice
actor to proclaim, ``--- 104.1 y 720 AM, la estación de la raza``.
Null/separable from WGN, but soon outfading, is KSAH Universal City
(San Antonio) TX. NRC AM Log says the slogan is ``Norteña 104.1``
which is not a mere translator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Nov 10 at 1329 UT, WKY, OKC, with double audio!
Closing pubaffs show `Sunday Morning Magazine` about elexions in OK,
when to register for primary, etc.; and ID for WWLS 98.1 The Sports
Animal which is its normal programming source. No one paying attention
at station to suppress TSA at least during this breakaway! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1110, Nov 10 at 0753 UT, KFAB Omaha in C2CAM normally
owns this clear channel at night, but now has some musical QRM with
SAH, hard to DF with KFAB nulled. Of course, the only other 50 kW at
night 1110 station is WBT Charlotte NC, but it`s news/talk too; with
deep nulls toward each other. Suspect it`s one of the numerous
daytimers in between running at night. Or maybe KRDC Pasadena CA, all
20 kW supposedly WSW into the Pacific but C&W/Disney format (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1160, Nov 7 at 1401 UT, ``AM 1160 The Hope``, church info
for Naperville, soon losing to Spanish presumably Kansas City. WYLL
Chicago, U4 50/50 kW but seldom heard here and never well since day
pattern is circular tangent to SE, and night pattern tight to the
north (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1210, Nov 9 at 0705 UT, ad for texting RANK to some number,
and another ad for something in northern Michigan, Petoskey. So it`s
certainly 50-kW ND daytimer cheating again, WJNL, Kingsley near
Traverse City. I`ve often checked for this but there has been too much
KGYN even nulled. Now I`m not even trying to do that, on the east-west
longwire which should favor KGYN. Its own adherence to legally nulling
toward Philadelphia at night is questionable, but maybe now they
really are (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Sunday Nov 10 at 1339 UT, surprised to hear the tones
of Jim Bohannon in the light of day, guest author who is a
``Bible-believing Christian``. This is certainly my semi-local KQAM
Wichita KS, atop remnant of Vietnamese KNGO The Metroplex making a
slow SAH. But KQAM is not a JIMBO affiliate per:
http://www.jimbohannonshow.com/station-finder/
rather 3 other 1480s all at normal nighttimes or later repeats
pre-sunrise. But what do they know? Jimbo is among the Big Talkers at:
http://stecklinecommunications.com/kqam/
Sundays at 12-14 UT; and weeknights live at 03-06 UT (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1550, Nov 10 at 1352 UT, ``Cape Radio 100.3 News-Talk``,
1359 local PSAs for Cape Girardeau, caperadionews.com; rapid legal ID
I think fits in a 1550 mention, 1400 Fox ``news``. Is KAPE now on 5 kW
direxional day power. Lucky MO has two others 1550s. From ENE, I`m
really trying to null it and hear wanted KMAD, Madill on the south
side of OK, often silent but lately reported active (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1580, re my log of KQFN Tempe AZ, Rick Barton, AZ, replies:
``Hi Glenn, the KQFN story is about as confusing as it gets. KMIK did
transmit from Tempe/Mesa, but the rumor was, when KQFN came on, they
moved the transmissions from there to a site in SW Phoenix. I drove to
the site and confirmed it. The station is transmitting from a single
tower located just a cupla blocks south of 38th avenue and Indian
School Rd. The nearest address I could give you would be 3883 N. 38
Ave., Phoenix. The signal really loaded up my car radio at that
location. The tower can easily be seen from nearby Grand Avenue, just
to the east. regards from the southwest - rb`` (Glenn Hauser, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2006 monitoring: Vern of WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO,
now explains what happened with WOR last Saturday night. Due to a
program schedule error earlier in the day, it ran at 0301-0330 UT
Sunday, just before I tuned in, and preceding TWIAR. Says he will see
about updating the websked. And:
``In equipment, I replaced the DAP-310 audio processor with an
Inovonics INO223 Audio processor. three independently adjustable
bands, digital look ahead processing; a 5 kHz brick wall bandpass
limiter. Also, pre-emphasis to enhance intelligibility. 5 kHz is the
minimum available, I would have preferred 4. It allows me to set +
103%, -95% peak modulation level with no occasional over-modulation
spikes. With 360 watts radiated power from the antenna, it does a
reasonable job. I will try to keep better tabs on log timing. Thank
you for your input, and keep up the good work. Vern``
WORLD OF RADIO 2007 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday November
11 at 0426, 11 minutes into on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, so started circa
nominal 0415. Readable but marred by local high noise level between
1.7 and 2.4 MHz, and another narrow peak at 2.68 MHz, but fortunately
no problem higher. (I dread the Holiday Season with Xmas lighting all
over, altho 2 or 3 neighbors run Xmassy lighting yearound.)
Until the next, Best of DX and 73 de Glenn Hauser
