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

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
** CANADA. 2748.98-USB, Feb 6 at 0155 UT, YL in French with marine weather,
0156 UT switch to English and now she seems robotic. SSB sounds best when tuned
slightly to lo side of 2749. CCG website shows it`s VCS Halifax via Chebogue NS
site starting at 0140 UT in English, then French, but nothing else following
immediately in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2749-USB, Feb 7 at 0044 UT, robotic YL in English with marine
weather at S6. CCG website shows this is MCTS Sydney NS, VCO starting at 0040
UT via Port Caledonia site, with: ``Radiotelephony --- Technical marine
synopsis and forecasts for marine areas 209, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 231
and 232. Wave height forecast for marine areas 209, 213, 214, 215 and 217.
Notices to Shipping in areas Cape Breton Shore (covering Cabot Strait to
Banquereau Bank), Gulf of St. Lawrence, Newfoundland South Coast, P.E.I. and
Miramichi Bay. Notices to Shipping revising the position of every reported
offshore exploration and exploitation vessel`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
===================
** OKLAHOMA. 890, Thu Feb 11 at 1530 UT, I`m checking whether KTLR OKC is still
partly in Spanish, as on their program schedule grid: Yes, praise music in
Spanish, 1538 UT predicating (preaching) in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
==================
** U S A. I had forgotten there was yet another Republican debate Saturday
night, originating on ABC-TV, but run across WHAS 840 Louisville KY carrying
the soundtrack at 0134 UT Feb 7 --- then scan the entire MW band for some
others //, not necessarily synchronized: 750 WSB Atlanta GA, 740 KRMG Tulsa OK,
700 WLW Cincinnati OH, 1110 KFAB Omaha NE, 1160 KSL Salt Lake City UT. All the
other big clear channel sigs I normally get were doing something else (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1510, Sunday Feb 7 at 1403 UT, financial news, loops slightly CCW
from E/W, so I figure it`s KFNN Phœnix AZ; 1404 UT PSA about asthma, 1405 UT
about diabetes, no ID, and 1406 UT welcome back to `Real Estate Today`. KFNN
program schedule is lengthy,
http://www.moneyradio1510.com/Program-Schedule/Phoenix
and does have R.E.T. on it but Saturdays at 11 am (MST = 18 UT); and there is a
big gap between 3 and 8 am on Sundays! (MST = 10-15 UT). KFNN is axually
licensed to Mesa with 22000/100 watts U3, and official February sunrise is not
until 1415 UT; nothing about a PSRA in the NRC AM Log, so they jumped the gun.
Also, day pattern major lobe is to the NE, good for us, with lesser lobes to
the WNW and SE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
================
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Feb 11 at 1850 UT on caradio, KRVN Nebraska, usual
groundwave daytimer, has CCI from another talker in English. Closest 4
possibilities: IL and TX are listed as Spanish; 10 kW KHAC NM/AZ is partly
English but far for groundwave. 50 kW KLRG AR is considerably closer, but AR
has poor conductivity for GW. No daytime skywave noted now on prime channels
720, 840. Hoping to pull more out of this on the NRD-545 at home with loop
nulling KRVN, but can`t (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Feb 6 at 0106 UT check, warbling hets roughly east-west, as
not much signal from KSTP at the moment. If not out of WPSO New Port Richey FL,
allegedly a daytimer: Probably not, but just in case, note that the other FL on
1500, WKIZ in Cayo Hueso is Spanish religion per NRC AM Log, and is 24 hours
with 250 watts. Should they lapse into anything anti-Castro, or even relay some
Radio Marti, that could get them a bit o` jamming from down south (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, Feb 7 at 0119 UT, not much signal from KSTP, so I am
hearing the blues music station and the warble-tone. KSTP is so weak that I can
get pretty good bearings on these two, nulling them without KSTP in the way:
warble is about 95 degrees, and blues about 135 degrees (assuming they are both
eastward rather than westward). Tends to confirm blues source as the station
doing that all-night, KCLF New Roads LA. At least on weeknights, with weekends
unaccounted for:
http://kclf1500am.com/shows.html
Closest to the 95 degree angle from Enid with the warble are three Alabamans
and one further Georgian: WQCR Alabaster, 2300/3 watts, WVSM Rainsville,
1000/-, WKAX Russellville, 1000/-; and WDPC Dallas GA, 5000/CH 3200 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
