All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT` during EDT; when
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-04 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
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 [if any], unidentified [if any], separated by ======= Within each, they are
in frequency order
** U S A. 1310, June 30 at 0222 UT, ad for Madisonville, also mentions Hopkins
County, which match in KY; ergo, this is WTTL, U2 1500/500 watts but with a CP
for U1 1500/40, per last year`s NRC AM Log. FCC AM Query now shows it`s
licensed for the latter, no longer a CP, so nice to get a 40-watter, if we can
believe that. Madisonville is in western KY, halfway between Evansville IN and
Clarksville TN. Not to be confused with Hopkinsville KY which is in a different
county to the south (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1580, June 30 at 0217 UT, adstring including area code 479, 474-0006
for Able Construxion; 0218 UT a ``101.1 Flashback`` about a historical
gunfight; 101.1sports.com ? Movemart, 646-MOVE, movemartinc.com another ad for
Able roofing, mentions Oklahoma, 101.1; 0220 UT finally some music, a torch
song. AC 479 means this is Arkansas, where we have KHGG Fort Smith (almost
Oklahoma). NRC AM Log shows it as U1 1000/49 watts, TLK/SPT, ``The Sports Hog``
but no FM. Lots of QRM but now well after sunset I would lean closer to 1000
watts.
WTFDA FM Database does not show an AM // but instead: [K266BS //KHGG-FM 101.1
VAN BUREN AR 0.25 0.25 83.0 0.0 35-26-51 94-21-54 THE SPORTS HOG 103.1 [sic]
SPORTS]
Yes, there is a non-translator on 103.1, so why do they keep announcing 101.1,
a mere translator? [KHGG-FM 103.1 WALDRON AR 6.1 6.1 412.0 412.0 34-58-44
93-56-42 3F20 - THE SPORTS HOG 103.1 SPORTS]
Because Waldron is some 40 miles SSE of Fort Smith, not good enough! while Van
Buren is truly a suburb right next to Fort Smith. The `real` FM station is
neglected not only by the original FM, but eclipsed by its translator in The
City? Not exactly:
1580 website linked from radio-locator.com http://sportshog1031.com/ says
nothing about a 101.1, except logo grafix for sibling stations include: ``101.1
FM THE JUDGE Fort Smith`s Country`` --- so apparently the Fort Smith Radio
Group has recently flipped things around. Could be HD2 is also involved here,
but what really is on main channel of 103.1 now? Anyhow, day and night coverage
maps for 1580 show that site definitely on the AR side of the border (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
