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; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire
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

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
** CANADA. 900, Jan 24 at 0251 UT, monolog about goal tenders, team formerly
with AHL, now at First Ontario Center, recap of a ``fun hockey`` game tonight.
Surely 50 kW CHML Hamilton. Its night pattern has a notch toward us, so not
normally audible. Could it be non-direxional for benefit of winter storm? But
heavy snow there no big deal. Maybe just VG conditions from the east tonight.
900, Jan 25 at 0404 UT, station in English mentions Canadian Press, so
presumably news source for CHML Hamilton, vs QRM unlike the clear signal I had
25 hours earlier, despite unfavorable nite pattern.
860, this time I check for other Ontarians, and at 0406 UT Jan 25, Radio-Canada
ID in French over KKOW, into music, and this does loop NE, not NW, so CJBC
Toronto. MusiQRM to 740 KRMG is probably CFZM too via CBL facility (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Jan 23 at 0101, YL in English with weather, S8-S9.
Canadian CG site shows starting at 0048 is MCTS Placentia / VCP, with
``Radiotelephony --- Technical marine synopsis, forecasts and wave height
forecasts for marine areas 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237 and 238. Weather
and Wave height forecasts for marine area 213``. In a few minutes at 0107 it
must cede the frequency to VOK Labrador via St Anthony. The site for this
particular VCP broadcast is: St. Lawrence, island of Newfoundland.
2598-USB, Jan 23 at 0218 UT, barely audible broadcast mostly under line noise
level, 0219 I can tell it`s French, probably by YL. CG schedule shows it`s one
I haven`t logged before: ``MCTS Port aux Basques / VOJ - Broadcasts, 0207,
Stephenville site, 2598J3E, Radiotelephony (English followed by French).
Technical marine synopsis forecasts and wave height forecasts for marine areas
220, 221, 222 and 231. Weather forecast and wave height forecast for marine
areas 215, 217 and 219`` -- Stephenville is on the southwest side, south of
Corner Brook; Port aux Basques is at the SW corner, the ferry terminal from
Sydney NS, which is how I once got to Nfld without flying (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, Jan 25 at 0242, YL in English with weather, especially
wind forecasts, S7, 0243 I thought Placentia was mentioned, but that would be
Newfoundland not on this channel; gale warnings. CCG website shows: VCS, MCTS
Halifax starting at 0240 via Sambro site: ``2749J3E, Radiotelephony, Technical
marine synopsis, forecasts and wave height forecasts for marine areas 201 to
214. Notices to Shipping in South Coast Nova Scotia area. Notices to Shipping
revising the position of every reported offshore exploration and exploitation
vessel`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
===============
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Jan 25 at 1321 UT & 1338 UT chex, WKY OKC is open
carrier/dead air; nulling what`s left, I can hear somestations but nothing IDed
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, UT Sun Jan 24 at 0249 UT on the way to 900 CHML, I notice
that local KGWA is running `Our Miss Brooks` oldtime radio featuring Mr.
Conklin. Checking website http://kgwanews.com I find a contradixion:
``ON AIR NOW --- Tom Torbjorsen 8:00pm - 10:00pm America’s Car Show``
He`s also on the very disorganized ``LINEUP`` at
http://kgwanews.com/lineup
and nothing about OMB (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1400, Jan 21 at 1934 UT on caradio, surprised to be getting KREF
Norman past local splasher 1390 KCRC, mentioning Pauls Valley, town further
beyond Norman. Is successor to onetime WORLD OF RADIO affiliate KNOR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
=============
** U S A. 840, Jan 26 at 1910 UT on caradio, Rush, weak but clear and totally
readable, no doubt WHAS Louisville KY, scarcely a semihour past local mean noon
here, which I get occasionally by skywave at midday. Without it, 5 kW KTIC in
NE NE can be heard by groundwave, and surely the source of a lite ~6 Hz SAH; by
1956 UT recheck the two are about equal level so we mostly hear the SAH (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1810, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1020, Jan 23 at 0135 UT, I am checking for 50 kW KCKN Roswell NM,
which I have heard has got its act together, i.e. restoring its null/protexion
toward Pittsburgh (and Perry, almost, and me). I`m afraid not. Maybe it`s a
little better as now it`s not overriding my semi-local KOKP, but with KOKP
nulled, a Spanish station with religious music is clearly audible, making a SAH
of approx. 4 Hz. 0151 UT, ``para la familia de hoy`` and Spanish hymn; 0158 UT
I`m standing by for an ID, but need nothing more than a mention of something
going on in Hackensack, Nueva Jersey, 201 area code, i.e. source station being
(100%?) relayed, WWRV 1330, Radiovisión Cristiana, Nueva York (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 1050, Jan 23 at 0133 UT, dominant signal on ALA-330S
antenna oriented E/W has a New Mexico health PSA, Blue Emu ad; no XEG, and even
when switching to N/S antenna, very little from it, maybe just caught in a
fade, but hardly the 100 kW ND you would expect from Monterrey. So this is KTBL
Los Ranchos NM (Albuquerque), 1/1 kW U3 substation of KKOB 770, with pattern
going all direxions except the southern half of the compass (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1130, Monday Jan 25 at 1337 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is in dead air
again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. I`m hearing WRVA 1140 Richmond VA from 0247 UT Sunday Jan 24 with
``continuing winter storm coverage`` taking callers, dominant over XEMR. They
say this will continue till midnight and resume at 6 AM (ET). Tho I
occasionally hear it, this is unusual; day and night 50 kW patterns are both
unfavorable for here, being NW/SE, so I wonder if they could or would go ND for
the emergency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re: 1340 Springfield MO, KADI Jan 7 log by gh: Glenn, the calls here
have been KICK again since November (David Yocis, NRC DX News Jan 25 via DXLD)
=======================
UNIDENTIFIED. 690, Jan 27 at 0726 UT, ``La Única, FM 99 y 690 AM`` non-ID amid
music. Nothing fits in Mexican or US listings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1460, Jan 25 at 0327 UT, station in Spanish catches my ear,
better on the E/W antenna than the N/S. PSA by kid for ``Feeding America`` from
the Ad Council; then loses out to sports talk in English. But at 0349 UT,
Spanish again with another Feeding America PSA, this one by adult. Probably ID
by SHVA, but can`t make it out in QRM, promo for an app and YL talk show for a
bit, before 0355 T-mobile 1 ad in Spanish, 0356 State Farm in Spanish with
jingles; 0358 a third! FeedingAmerica.org PSA, and something else from Ad
Council mentioning ``jaiscul``, presumably = high school. Out during possible
ToH ID time. NRC AM Log listings have several SS on 1460, most unlikely here,
in FL, FL, GA, IL, IN, NV, OK, OR, TX, VA, WI.
We can rule out KZUE OK which is a daytimer and not E/W. Others unlikely by
format are FL EWTN; NV and TX Deportes; some others look like they are musical
rather than talk, but not clear. Or was this really sports rather than general
talk? I can`t be sure, in which case KBZO Lubbock TX would stand out by
direxion and proximity (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Jan 27 at 0705 UT, blues music, in null of KSTP, which
makes it eastish/westish, or at least not NNE/SSW. Several US stations are OLD
or NOS format in NRC AM Log, but they`re daytimers or with negligible night
power. Or I suppose it could even be GOS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
