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
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser
And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and
publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open
access:

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal
antenna only; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside or randomwire; Nissan stock caradio
as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified
** MEXICO [and non]. 580, Aug 17 at 0541, ranchera music is holding its own
against WIBW Topeka, presumed XEMU Piedras Negras, and as the two are not
exactly opposite, by carefully positioning the DX-398 I can null or minimize
the WIBW signal without totally nulling the other one. Live DJ with timecheck,
but no ID, before WIBW regains (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521.0, Aug 19 at 0240, carrier hetting KOKC OKC, which has
got to be the 2-megawatt BSKSA Duba transmitter in the NW corner, the #1 beacon
for trans-Atlantic MW DX conditions; WRTH shows sked is 15-03 UT, which seems
strange, except they obviously find it worth running only during night hours.

The WRTH has listed Duba for a long time on 594 kHz with 2 megawatts on air at
0300-1500. Could this be the daytime frequency [better groundwave propagation]
and 1521 kHz the nighttime frequency 1500-0300 [better skywave propagation]?
