All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT` during EDT; when
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-04 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

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 [if any], separated by ======= Within each, they are in
frequency order
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Aug 21 at 1200 UT, ID in Spanish from WKY, as a Cumulus
station, pronouncing the call letters in English, and introducing the following
``programa pagado``, `Sunday Morning Magazine`, in English, YL interviewing YL
about American Cancer Society, some fund-raising event involving dogs,
relay-for-life. Also on 640 KWPN Moore, same show running about 10 seconds
ahead. I thought this was a ``public service`` program, not a paid one, as they
have lots of different guests from the community, not an infomercial (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Aug 19 at 0136 UT, loud C&W music at S9+15, so KGYN Guymon
has again failed to null toward Philadelphia and us at night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) And subsequently
===============
** U S A [and non]. 570, Aug 22 at 0531 UT, WNAX news of South Dakota atop KLIF
Dallas, unusual; daytime on ND day pattern, groundwave WNAX Yankton is always
there under KLIF; night goes NNE with minor lobe SW. Rock music on the side
probably from KWML New Mexico, its new ex-sports format. Also in the mix some
RRs from Radio Reloj, CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 750, Aug 24 at 0558 UT, dominating signal is in Spanish looping E/W,
rather than WSB in English. Ads with several 1-800 numbers mentioned, and other
clues it`s American, not Mexican, clinched at 0559 UT by Univisión América in
ID whose call letters I can`t copy, but it is surely Ua affiliate KAMA El Paso
TX. Then WSB starts to fade up. Both day and night patterns of 10/1 kW U4 KAMA
are supposed to go ONLY due west, so must be out of whack again. See DXLD 15-49
for more about this and a possible STA for 250 watts and U5 = non-direxional at
night; I had not logged since December, but several times earlier last year
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 820, Aug 22 at 0603 UT after network news, WBAP with local news from
Dave Alpert, as I`m still on 820 after trying to ID the Mexican. Would that be
the DXer and former ABC newsman Dave Alpert, last known to be in Studio City,
California? Or another one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 920, Aug 19 at 0143 UT, silly baseball game is dominant and from E/W.
Unusual since KYFR IA with a lobe toward us from the NNE, is normally #1 on 920
at night. Plenty of mentions of player names, but takes a while to figure out
the teams among several mentioned: San Antonio Missions vs Arkansas Travelers.
Therefore it must be KARN Little Rock, which is 5/5 kW U2, ND daytime but
supposed to be a circle tangent to southwest at night, i.e. very little signal
this way. Official site of the Travs, confirms such a match tonight,
http://www.milb.com/schedule/index.jsp?sid=t574
but seems to say nothing about a radio network; perhaps KARN is the only
outlet? All games seem to be on MiLB.TV, and some have an audio icon (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1010, Aug 23 at 0206 UT, areacodeless phone 751-9360 by some gospel
huxter, loops about NNW/SSE, or best with ESPN from Amarillo WSW nulled, with
which it makes a fast SAH. Promo for `Turning Point` on KBBW AM 1010 and ##5.7
FM, with two times, one AM, one PM. NRC AM Log 2015 shows the FM is K289BU
105.7, ``Life Changing Radio``. Then talk radio with a lifestyle coach. KBBW is
Waco TX, believe a new one here, which should not be that rare with 10/2.5 kW
U4. But let`s look at the NRC Pattern Book: day has major lobe south, minor
lobes north. Night has two tight little lobes to WNW and SSE, which makes the
minor day lobe better for us. Official FCC sunset in August was 0115 UT (Sept:
0030 UT). Apparently BBW here does not mean what we and Google might think it
means (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110, Sunday Aug 21 at 1207 UT, Qur`an vs KFAB, SAH of 48/minute [0.8
Hz] and another SAH depending on DX-398 orientation of 216/minute [3.6 Hz]
involving a third station (New Mexico?). Qur`an is of course 50 kW KVTT Mineral
Wells/Plano/Cleburne/The Metroplex TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Aug 21 at 1237 UT, KQAM Wichita talk has 156/minute [2.6 Hz]
SAH from weaker S Asian music, so KBXD Dallas must still be stunting with that
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1640, Aug 23 at 0158 UT, with local KZLS nulled, I have no problem
hearing ESPN promos, and fast SAH from WTNI Biloxi MS with a TOH ID preceded by
one for some FM station --- I thought, but none are listed, not even a
translator; rather, its simulcasted sibling is WXBD 1490, also in Biloxi, why?
Address for both ``The Champ`` is really Gulfport. Anyhow, such reception thru
my local reinforces my suspicion that WTNI is running 10 kW day power at night.
BTW, KZLS made it all the way to Patagonia, per this DX-pedition:
https://lagalenadelsur.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/pescando-radioemisoras-distantes-desde-la-patagonia-pantanito-dx-camp-2016/
including a 4-second clip of the KZLS ID, with misunderstood calls:
https://youtu.be/4p8dsn3TGLw
Altho seldom reported down there beyond WTNI, it`s not too surprising as KZLS
has a tight beam SSE toward OKC and beyond, even with only 1 kW at night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
