** CANADA. 326 kHz, Nov 28 at 0718 UT, dash and YQK ID from ND beacon,
which is 200 watts from Kenora, Ontario.
335 kHz, Nov 28 at 0721 UT, dash and YLD ID from ND beacon, which is
1000 watts from Chapleau, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 395 kHz, Nov 29 at 0800 UT, ND beacon ULS --- I bet it`s
Ulysses, Kansas. Yes; 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
see also CANADA; CAYMAN
** CANADA. 401 kHz, Nov 29 at 0758 UT, dash and YHD, 500-watt NDB in
Peawanuck, Ontario. See also CAYMAN.
396 kHz, Nov 29 at 0759 UT, dash and YPH, 500 watt NDB at Inukjuak,
Quebec; a new one for me, so look up that place: it`s on the east
shore of Hudson Bay, 2845 km = 1768 statute miles from me. ``Inukjuak
is a northern village located on Hudson Bay at the mouth of the
Innuksuak River in Nunavik, in the Nord-du-Québec region of northern
Quebec, Canada. Its population is 1,757 as of the 2016 Canadian
Census. An older spelling is Inoucdjouac; its former name was Port
Harrison. Wikipedia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1010, Nov 30 at 0700 UT, ID for KBBW Waco and several FMs,
``Legendary 10-10 AM everywhere in central Texas``. KBBW night pattern
has two tight lobes at 160 and 290 degrees, hardly anything thisaway.
Day pattern not much better for us, very minor lobe at 350, broad
major lobe at 170. FCC info does not mention any translators or FM
affiliates. But website is headed:
``KBBW 1010 AM 105.7 FM 101.3 FM 100.3 FM - Life Changing .. kbbw.com
105.7 FM in Waco, 101.3 FM in Killeen-Temple,
100.3 FM in Georgetown-Round Rock-Cedar Park
and everywhere on the legendary 1010 AM.
Keep Boldly Believing the Word``
Yes, it`s 100% gospel huxtering. Website http://kbbw.com/ is nothing
but a program sked. See also unID 1010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1010, Nov 30 at 0659 UT just before full ID for KBBW
Waco TX, q.v., I hear another ID sounding like KGJO -- but no such
listing nor anything fuzzily similar to be found in NRC AM Log, or FCC
AM Query. Nor is there any such call on FM in case that were a
reference. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK,, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re: "UNIDENTIFIED. 1010, Nov 30 at 0659 UT just before full

Glenn, I would bet the ID you heard was for KDJW-1360, which often
simulcasts KTNZ-1010. Both stations seem to stay on day rig overnight
from time to time. Sample attached from last month's Border Inn
recordings. HTH, 73 (Tim Hall, CA, ibid.)
Tnx, Tim. Yes, I bet that`s it. Amarillos, KTNZ nothing unusual here
(Glenn Hauser, ibid.)
** U S A. 1200, Nov 25 at 1357 UT, Spanish has overtaken WOAI, soon ID
for TUDN Radio, WRTO Chicago with the call letters pronounced in
English. More than an hour after Chicago sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1203, Nov 27 at 2217 UT, IBOC noise bothering WRTO Chicago
1200 (not WOAI), and another peak about 1177. This time the 1190
source is WOWO: sports talk by W&M ``after 5 o`clock``, mention Fort
Wayne; dominant 1190 signal but plenty of QRM. WOWO is believed to be
the only 1190 running IBOC. Don`t usually hear that or 1190 itself and
wonder if their pattern be out of whack: U2 50/9.8 kW, i.e. ND day
which is OK since Nov sunset is 2230 UT (Dec: 2215 UT). NRC AM Log
shows format as NWS/TLK, not SPT per se (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1500, Nov 27 at 2215 UT, plenty skywave already, area code
317 mentioned, ``deliverance`` and gospel huxtering vs sports talk
presumably KSTP. 317 is Indianapolis, and the 1500 there is a fit, REL
format on the other WRN group, WBRI, a 5 kW direxional daytimer. Best
time to hear it as Nov official sunset is not until 2230* (Dec: 2215*)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1520, Nov 28 at 2230 UT as I am chasing the Sa`udi het from
1521 vs KOKC, other skywave QRM with partial ID mentioning two FM
frequencies, 92.3 and another in the 100s. Nonesuch listed at 1520 in
the NRC AM Log, but in the WTFDA FM Database, among all the USA 92.3
listings, searching on 1520 there is one hit which is quite
reasonable:
``W222BG, WHOW-1520, 92.3, CLINTON IL, 0.25, 62.0, 40-05-43 88-57-51,
NEWS/TALK/FARM NEWS RADIO 1520 //W293DJ 106.5``
Back to the NRC AM Log which does match WHOW with 106.5 but not 92.3,
and there is no Group cross-ref. WHOW is a D3 direxional daytimer of
5000 watts, rather only 1000 during Critical Hours: ``The Big 1520 AM
and 106.5 FM``.
But FCC AM Query shows it non-direxional both daytime and CH; and Nov
sunset is 2245 UT (Dec: 2230 UT). Thus the synergy of these three
major references (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1520+, Nov 27 at 2226 UT, I`m straining to hear a
tell-tale het from 1521 upon 1520 KOKC, since Doha, Sa`udi Arabia 2000
kW is about to sign off at 2231* as noted by Bruce Conti, NH. It used
to be obvious when it ran all-night. I do detect a JBA carrier, but
sounds less than 1 kHz, so maybe KRHW Sikeston MO which has varied
before; and still there at 2233 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2010 monitoring: almost confirmed Saturday
November 30 at 2050 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO. I do
have a JBA signal with talk rather like my ``monotone``, but blocked
by heavy local line noise which still infests this part of the
spectrum. Next:
0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415] {but I missed checking}
** CANADA. 2749-USB, Nov 27 at 0814 UT, marine weather by YL in
French, VP. Per EiBi at 0810-0830 it`s VCS Halifax but in English via
sm site = Sambro NS.
2598-USB, Nov 27 at 0816 UT, YL too weak to detect language. EiBi says
at 0807-0833 it`s VOJ, Port aux Basques NL, English & French via sv
site = Stephenville NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, Nov 29 at 0745 UT, roboYL with weather in
English, ``storm warning`` time and again for different areas, S5-S6.
EiBi shows at 0740-0800 it`s VCO Sydney NS via pc site = Port
Caledonia NS.
2598-USB, Nov 29 at 0749 UT, YL with forecasts in English for various
coasts as far ahead as Tuesday, mentions Newfoundland Standard Time.
S7 and unusually stronger than 2749 despite further. EiBi shows at
0737-0805 it`s VCP Placentia NL via site sl = St Lawrence NL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Until the next, Best of DX and 73 de Glenn Hauser
