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 is no longer in use.
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
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1210, Jan 6 at 0104 UT, KGYN Guymon is blasting in
obviously on day pattern failing to protect Philadelphia, ``The Big Talker,
1210 KGYN``. I try nulling it and from right angle can hear a list of stations
in the Rio Grande Valley, obviously the network including KUBR San Juan whose
night pattern is supposed to have tight major lobe toward its west; and
cardioid null toward WPHT in daytime (??), per NRC Pattern Book. I thought
these might be reversed, but confirmed as such in FCC AM Query. In any event,
we should not be getting so much signal from either station; together they make
a heavy 160/minute SAH = 2.67 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
==========
** U S A. 840, Jan 12 at 1400 UT, KTIC ID with temp minus 4, and ``Classic
Country 98.3`` with translator call I don`t copy; NRC AM Log had it as K252EG
West Point NE and slogan as ``Rural Radio``. The latter applies to a bunch of
Nebraska stations including KRVN 880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1067 & 1093 peaks, Jan 7 at 0232 UT, IBOC noise is back out of 1080
KRLD. Mark Sills in Dallas had welcomed its absence during December. DXers hope
that CBS disposing of stations to Entercom would also lead to the end of IBOC
upon them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1120, Jan 7 at 0227 UT, KMOX interviewing conductor Leonard Slatkin
about the classical music world, surprisingly. Show is `KMOX Profiles` at 01-03
UT Sundays, followed by the classic rock show deviating from news/talk, `Route
66 on KMOX with Johnny Rabbitt`, UT Sundays 03-07 per sked:

** U S A. 1210, Jan 12 at 1405 UT, Huron ads following ABC News, i.e. KOKK in
SD; temps -5 F, windchill -24. Over KGYN OK easily nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1710 kHz, Jan 12 at 0706 UT, soft strumming guitar music, some pirate
other than Bâton Rouge LA? 0710 UT announcement sounds like Spanish, and I hear
a ``siete`` mentioned, perhaps referring to their FM frequency (not really
busted and off?). By 0718 UT voice changes to something more strident, which
would be the usual gospel huxter from Radio Retén lo que Tienes. Certainly
holding on to what they`ve got, legal or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1810 kHz, Jan 11 at 0049, JBA carrier, seems to be pulsing a bit. Tnx
to Don Moman for forwarding a current Topband thread about this, IDed as WKYW,
Frankfort KY, 1490 kHz, oldies format, somehow radiating in the 160m hamband,
with many hams on the case, hearing it much stronger all over east America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Another thread figured it was someone
relaying this station, and it was gone in an hour or so
