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. 800, Feb 2 at 0549 UT, on E-W antenna without even trying I can copy
CKLW atop CCI from KQCV OKC, with Bell`s Canada ad, and something in
Windsor/Essex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
=============
** OKLAHOMA. 1600, Sat Jan 28 at 1928 UT, KUSH, Cushing playing jive music,
subformat Americana, I suppose. Weekday afternoons, it`s talk shows (after me,
the deluge from Trans-Canada).
{later: or used to be. Now music also heard weekday afternoon; can`t find a
simple program schedule on their website or active FB, but seems to indicate
local talk in the mornings ``Kush Girls``; music in afternoons} (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
==============
** U S A. 660, Jan 28 at 1936 UT, my MW bandscan downward for skywave signals
(after 1540 KXEL IA) finds something here on the E-W antenna, country music and
talk seemingly in English at 1939 UT; ads in English at 1942 UT, and ending
with something -online.com. The N/S antenna has KSKY The Answer talk from The
Metroplex as usual dominant on groundwave, but E/W brings this, also making a
1.2 Hz SAH.
I`m thinking it`s got to be KTNN Window Rock AZ, at midday! Not listening long
enough to hear some clinching Navajo chanting, but their website is indeed:
http://ktnnonline.com/ The only other 660 anywhere around here is 1 kW KCRO
Omaha, opposite direxion from Dallas, and Christian in English.
So I`m confident it is KTNN, which is 1008 km or 627 miles from here, 50 kW ND
but I know groundwave doesn`t even reach into the OK Panhandle. 770 KKOB ought
to make it too, but too much QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 660, Jan 28 at 2330 UT, I turn on the PL-880 still tuned to 660, and
there`s Navajo talk from KTNN AZ, as heard four hours earlier already in
English, but nothing unusual now, just before sunset here, and while still on
their ND 50 kW day power (sometimes, extending past their own sunset) (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 840, Feb 1 at 0436 UT, yet another try to ID the Spanish
religious station with WHAS nulled. Non-ID immediately upon tune-in as ``---
radio, la mejor alternativa`` and praise music. 0452 UT sermon, 0454 UT Mesa AZ
phone number again, (480) 467-4626, then full source ID as ``Voz y Visión
Radio, P O Box ---, La Quinta, California, 92248``. And phone there as (760)
889-4791. That chex for Indio, California area, not AC (770) as first thought
(in Spanish it`s virtually impossible to tell a setenta from a sesenta without
extremely clear reception --- why don`t they do as the French do and make 70 =
sesenta y diez??), and a missed call-letter ID ``--FM, Voz y Visión Radio, tu
mejor alternativa`` and fade. Just before 0459 UT legal ID but again I can`t
copy the call letters, just ``--- AM 840, mejor alternativa``, back to music.
Meanwhile at 0500 UT the Cuban NA is audible mixing, from Santa Clara.
Finally I have enough to go on, to nail down whether this is really KVJY Pharr
TX, as seems to be the ``only alternative`` not just the best one. Searching on
the slogan I get this webpage which is not very informative,
http://www.vozyvisionradio.com
labeled Indio CA in one spot, Phoenix AZ in another, showing traffic from
visitors in Hollywood FL, Bryan TX, Phoenix/Mesa AZ (So do they have stations
in these cities too?)
Who cares about websites? All that matters is FB, and linx lead to that:
https://es-es.facebook.com/pages/Voz-y-Visi%C3%B3n/1457015621208536
https://www.facebook.com/vozvisionministries/?ref=page_internal&hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nf
This page has the (760) phone number and a city map of presumably La Quinta CA:
https://www.facebook.com/vozvisionministries/about/?ref=page_internal
So are their flagship AM & FM stations in Mesa/Phoenix, or La Quinta/Indio CA?
These are way out east near Coachella, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree NM, etc.
Looking thru listings for La Quinta and Indio, I don`t see any obvious matches,
but maybe this translator per FCC FM Query:

Henceforth I will move all my cautious UNIDENTIFIED 840 logs of this to
accompany this USA log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1863, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
[see also last week`s logs, and further PREVIOUS ones while it was still unID:]
UNIDENTIFIED. 840, UT Jan 27 at 0420 UT, another try to ID the Spanish
religious station here sometimes audible with WHAS nulled, having to put up
with other CCI and IBOC noise from WCCO. It so happens that with LSB fine
tuning in 40-Hz steps on the acceptably misaligned DX-398, these signals fall
about halfway between, so I can`t get just-right demodulation. In a fade-up as
I tune in during gospel huxter`s monolog about how he started an AM & FM
station in Dec 2015. More than once he`s plugging for 33 (rich?) people to
support his ministry (bet I know where he got that number), as it`s
listener-supported and located in ``Mesa, Arizona`` --- so that fits for the
480-AC phone number previously copied, and which I hear again and again, so I
am sure of it: (480) 467-4626, presumably belonging now to someone other than
the Anglo woman one lookup led to.
{There are only two AM stations licensed to Mesa, neither of which looks
likely, so maybe an AM/FM duo somewhere else in the Phœnixplex are his
flagships?? There is no 840 in AZ of course, one reason being the 50 kW in Las
Vegas NV}
I still want to ID this by monitoring / research, but if all else fails, I`ll
eventually phone him and ask which 840 station he`s on, KVJY Pharr TX?
And he announces a second phone number, of which I am not so certain, (770)
989-4791. That AC is not Albuquerque, but suburban Atlanta GA, which makes no
more sense on 840 kHz than (480) does. Into a fade at 0425 UT; back up somewhat
at 0433 UT with a program ID ``--- radio`` and a website, neither of which I
can copy, both given only once. No more fade-ups caught by 0500 UT Jan 27.
840, Jan 28 at 0240 UT another try. Worse reception tonight until 0300 UT; fade
up a bit at 0253 UT can tell praise music is playing instead of verbal
proselytizing. At 0259 ID time, mixture from something sounding like WGAU, but
that`s not even fuzzy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 840, Jan 28 at 1406 UT wake-up and tune-in, WHAS ID still
propagating a semihour after sunrise here and 1:15 after sunrise in Louisville.
I null it and hear a snatch of Spanish, ``--- radio`` with SAHs, still
suspecting KVJY Pharr TX in the RGV, but fades leaving a gospel huxter in
English, presumably daytimer KWDF Ball LA. (The only other 840 around here,
daytimer KTIC in West Point NE, I am ruling out as it`s C&W and ``Rural
Radio``, barely audible in full daytime.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 840, Jan 29 at 1402 UT, WHAS still dominant with news, ID, but
nulled, a gospel huxter in English, and in third place some Spanish music,
presumably praise from suspected KVJY Pharr TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 840, Jan 30 from 1340 UT, another try for the Spanish religious
station. With WHAS nulled, at first I hear an English KTIC ID in passing from
Nebraska; by 1342 UT fades up some praise music in Spanish, and bits until 1353
UT from suspected KVJY. Night before during SW bandscan 0321-0355 UT Jan 30 I
also had DX-398 set up for this, but no shows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1330, Jan 30 at 2011 UT on caradio, KNSS Wichita KS audio is hitting
at modulation spikes only, totally unreadable, still so at 2018 UT. No one at
station is listening to station to fix it! So how can they expect any audience?
If anyone is there, they are probably paying more attention to some FM station
in the cluster, notably duplicate KNSS-FM 98.7, no problem on it? Sean Hannity
is scheduled now, after Rush. Good riddance! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540, Sat Jan 28 at 1929 UT, SBG and I wonder if it`s KXEL Waterloo
IA. Yes, mentions UNI, i.e. University of Northern Iowa, game involving fouls
and free-throws, so evidently BKB. Come to think of it, free-throws in FB would
make it marginally more interesting. How about melding all the SBGs into one?
That would save a lot of trouble.
I have been remiss in pursuing daytime MW skywave this winter, and the season
is winding up, but here`s one less than an hour after local mean noon (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
==============
UNIDENTIFIED. 1460, Jan 28 at 1931 UT, KZUE El Reno OK groundwave in Spanish is
dominant on the N-S antenna, but mixed with something in English on E/W
antenna. Most likely KHOJ, the RCC station in St Charles MO skywaving in
already (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2130 kHz, Jan 29 at 0121 UT, JBA carrier, presumably a 3 x 710
harmonic, as first reported the previous morning Jan 28 by Tim Tromp, MI, to
the harmonics yg; from bearing, suspected to be WTPR Paris TN, which he says
drops off at precisely 0127* UT Jan 29 and 30, even tho that is not anywhere
near local sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2520, Feb 2 at 1313 UT, open carrier at S9 fading to S6, maybe a
trace of modulation, presumably from 2 x 1260, WOCO Oconto WI. They really need
to boost their harmonic mod to normal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
