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 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; ICR-75 E-W longwire
** MEXICO. 800, Oct 24 at 0605 after multi-verse XE NA, barely hear a ``Cañón``
ID, so XEROK, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua is still here, but much QRP vs KQCV OK
nulled as much as possible; also a ``punto siete`` reference to FM //? But none
is listed for XEROK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1521 kHz, Oct 25 at 0126 UT, in a TA JBA MW carrier bandscan I do
detect one here, very weak against KOLM & KOKC 1520. By 0130 with extremely
narrow bandwidth on the NRD-545, I think I am squeezing some audio thru,
possibly Qur`an? So is the Saudi 2-megawatter at Duba back in business; or
could it be CRI Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, reported testing last week after an
absence, scheduled 00-02 in Russian? Aoki says 100 kW, WRTH says 500 kW, but
it`s big in Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re my 1521 kHz, Noel Green, NW England replies: ``Glenn, I've
been trying 1521 in our late afternoon / early evening but not heard either of
these stations. Maybe due to propagation, but I don't think so as Saudi's 1600
kW station on 1440 is often heard well. 73 from Noel``.
The same evening but no time specified, Bill Whitacre says about Sa`udi, ``BTW,
1521 is no longer the 'monster' it has been in seasons past. In fact, it's not
in here at all! Must be having tx problems. Bill Whitacre, Alexandria, VA``
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Well, besides CRI Urumqi, hardly any other
1521 options from AfroEurAsia (gh, DXLD)
** MEXICO. 1560, UT Mon Oct 24 at 0319 UT, `La Hora Nacional`. topic cultural
events in Guanajuato, which I had heard publicized last week in a promo on some
other XE. Not // much stronger 1570 XERF. Loops SW, whence the only possibility
is XEJPV, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, more like WSW.
At 0331, 1560 has moved on to something else, while XERF is just wrapping up
LHN from/about Guanajuato, so playout must have started at least a minute late
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 21, UT:
at 1216, 774-NW, 693-NW
at 1221, 828-NW, 1098-W
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search October 23, from 1227 to 1232
UT: mostly NW from Japan/FE at first, then some WSW, DU, all as usual on the
hand-held DX-398 with internal ferrite antenna only. The big guns from NHK,
774, 747 and 693 initially were strong enough for some audio, especially 774:
774-NW, 747-NW, 738-SW, 702-NW, 693-NW, 666-NW, 657-?, 612-WSW, 594-NW, 567-NW,
792-WSW, 828-WSW, 837-WSW.
At 1234, 1098-W.
Our sunrise at 1246 UT.
At 1250, 774-WSW, 702-WSW (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 24 at 0557-0601, all
roughly NE to ENE, u.o.s.: 773-E (Mauritania), 747, 738 [could also be opposite
TAHITI already], 603, 846, 882, 1044, 1098, 1368.
(No TP search circa sunrise Oct 24: much needed sleep catchup. Per Richard
Allen, didn`t miss much) (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, October 25 at 0119-0125,
looping roughly NE except 783-East as in Mauritania: 612, 774, 783, 837, 1017,
1053, 1152, 1215 --- and see separate 1521 entry. On the handheld DX-398, I
also have one on 1125, but suspiciously + and it vanishes when I turn off the
NRD-545 nearby. That also emits its own birdie carriers on a few other
frequencies; beware (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific pre-sunrise JBA MW carrier search October 25:
nothing lowband, only 1566 from the NW at 1227, presumably FEBC S Korea and/or
the N Korean jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 27 UT:
576-NW at 1236
612-WSW at 1246
702-WSW, 2 carriers beating at 1237; also 1245, maybe one more from W?
774-WSW at 1238
828-WSW at 1240
936-WSW at 1241
