I think it's reasonable for any of us to correct the errors of others. Moderators can't be expected to provide such assistance - I'd certainly want to know of any of my own errors. I realize this every time I spot an error in my own logbook... Now that said, I can't help but notice this typo in Paul's correction... WILY is in Illinois (Illinois) not Iowa (IA) ... OK, maybe that's getting too granular ... hee hee... Now back to DX.

Re: [IRCA] 650 UNID Mexico with audio link
Tim, was there any DU activity along with this? Cx like this (the first two hops toward DU's) often coincide with low band DU signals. KFI can be good in cx like this and KFMB can sometimes be had, although there's more northern Mexican QRM on 760 than there was a decade ago. Funny that XEDKR can provide more QRM to 2BL during brief sunrise openings than WLW does since daylight and antenna can take out most of WLW. 73 KAZ Barrington IL and very inactive now til some snow melts and I can get to my antennas. -Original Message- From: Tim Tromp kilok...@gmail.com Sent: Feb 26, 2014 9:23 PM To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America irca@hard-core-dx.com Subject: Re: [IRCA] 650 UNID Mexico with audio link Thanks for listening Sylvain, much appreciated.

[IRCA] ULR DX……New Station for the ULR LOG….810 ZNS3 Freeport, BAHAMAS!!
Hi Guys: After seeing Saul's log of Bahamas on 810, I've been checking the frequency regularily to see if I could add that station to the ULR LOG. I've heard 810 Bahamas on the Big Rigs years ago…but still needed them for the ULR LOG!!

Up to 0100 EST The Programming was a male Preacher in English, but after 0100 they switched to an EZ Listening Music Program. I was also able to parallel this to the Live Web Feed for the ZNS Network!!! Glad to add this one to the ULR LOG….Thanks to Saul Chernos for alerting me that these guys were being heard again!!

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-27
Hello All, This morning's Asian propagation featured a halfhearted sunrise enhancement boost from 1425-1445, which raised several low and high band TP's up to ghostly levels for about 20 minutes. It wasn't bad for variety, but energetic signals were sparse. Once again a band which was comatose at 1405 showed signs of life with the first appearance of daylight around 1420 as 594-JOAK, 603-China and 657-Pyongyang came out of the noise at anemic levels. 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 were doing the same thing on the high band, and it was looking like the session might turn out to be fairly interesting. Unfortunately propagation really didn't improve much after this first boost, and a whole collection of low band Asians were left floundering in and out of the noise at weak levels (558-HLQH, 594-JOAK, 603-China, 648-Russia, 657-Pyongyang and a presumed 738-BEL2). The high band Asians fared a little better as 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 both managed brief peaks of good audio around 1445, although even they bailed early around 1450, when the ghostly low band Asians had already packed it in. Unlike most recent mornings neither 972-HLCA nor 1134-KBS managed any audio at all, and even the strongest TP of the morning (1575-VOA) was only in ! audio for about 25 minutes. Overall it was a pretty mediocre session, and devoid of any truly vibrant Asian signals. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) C.Crane SWP 7.5 Slider loopstick Ultralight + 12 Experimental FSL antenna (Design photo posted at http://www.mediafire.com/view/025vcba7b3fdadk/12inchXFSL's-004.jpg ) ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, February 20-27, 2014
All times and dates strictly UT [5 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; or Sony SRF-59 as specified; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E/W longwire as specified 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: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open access: http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page20 These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of USA, unidentified, separated by === Within each, they are in frequency order ** OKLAHOMA. On an unID, the question arose whether KSIW 1450 Woodward OK might have flipped away from sports. Not when I check it on caradio; at 90 miles away I can barely hear it on groundwave, but Feb 25 at 1917 UT, sports talk and WWLS ID in passing. It`s getting a boost from defacto powerline beverage radiation I happen to be stopped under; otherwise it`s about as weak as co-channel KGFF Shawnee OK at the same distance, which is playing Elvis and gives its own ID at 1924 UT. The two make a SAH of 220/minute = three and two-thirds Hz. Possibly there is an even weaker third station in the mix, the under-powered KWHW Altus OK. On a portable second radio I am also comparing 1450 to WWLS 98.1 and to KWPN 640, all of which mostly ID as ``WWLS, The Sports Animal``. 1450 definitely not // 640, 98.1 definitely not // 640, but maybe 1450 // 98.1 but far out of synch. Then I check the website http://www.thesportsanimal.com --- nothing there about the several stations around OK relaying it. No hits with direct internal searches on KSIW, or separately on 1450. There is, however, a link to Babe of the Day, like WCKY and several other sports radio stations, WWLS feeling the responsibility to proffer soft porn to its ``animals``, adding a much-needed visual aspect: here, bare butts are OK but not breasts. You may wonder how an FM station in OK, 375 miles from the nearest bend of the Mississippi near Greenville, could have a W- call? 640 was originally a grandfathered legacy call WNAD, at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, which stupidly sold off its educational AM station to commercial interests. It became WWLS on Dec 7, 1981. At some point, the city of license shifted north a notch to Moore. I don`t know the real story, but it would seem the new owners convinced the FCC that in view of its history, this station deserved to retain a W-call. That lasted until April 4, 2012, when it changed to KWPN. Meanwhile, the same owners had acquired the 98.1 FM facility and made it WWLS-FM on Oct 23, 2006. It took another 5.5 years for the AM side to be demoted to KWPN (not KEPN as I misrecalled in my original report: I never can remember the calls since it still non-IDs as ``WWLS``, and I avoid listening to stupid sportstalk as much as possible). Also, 640 remains infested with IBOC, but only during daytime, and sometimes turned off unpredictably.

[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, February 20-27, 2014
All times and dates strictly UT [5 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; or Sony SRF-59 as specified; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E/W longwire as specified 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: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open access: http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page20 These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of USA, unidentified, separated by === Within each, they are in frequency order ** OKLAHOMA. On an unID, the question arose whether KSIW 1450 Woodward OK might have flipped away from sports. Not when I check it on caradio; at 90 miles away I can barely hear it on groundwave, but Feb 25 at 1917 UT, sports talk and WWLS ID in passing. It`s getting a boost from defacto powerline beverage radiation I happen to be stopped under; otherwise it`s about as weak as co-channel KGFF Shawnee OK at the same distance, which is playing Elvis and gives its own ID at 1924 UT. The two make a SAH of 220/minute = three and two-thirds Hz. Possibly there is an even weaker third station in the mix, the under-powered KWHW Altus OK. On a portable second radio I am also comparing 1450 to WWLS 98.1 and to KWPN 640, all of which mostly ID as ``WWLS, The Sports Animal``. 1450 definitely not // 640, 98.1 definitely not // 640, but maybe 1450 // 98.1 but far out of synch. Then I check the website http://www.thesportsanimal.com --- nothing there about the several stations around OK relaying it. No hits with direct internal searches on KSIW, or separately on 1450. There is, however, a link to Babe of the Day, like WCKY and several other sports radio stations, WWLS feeling the responsibility to proffer soft porn to its ``animals``, adding a much-needed visual aspect: here, bare butts are OK but not breasts. You may wonder how an FM station in OK, 375 miles from the nearest bend of the Mississippi near Greenville, could have a W- call? 640 was originally a grandfathered legacy call WNAD, at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, which stupidly sold off its educational AM station to commercial interests. It became WWLS on Dec 7, 1981. At some point, the city of license shifted north a notch to Moore. I don`t know the real story, but it would seem the new owners convinced the FCC that in view of its history, this station deserved to retain a W-call. That lasted until April 4, 2012, when it changed to KWPN. Meanwhile, the same owners had acquired the 98.1 FM facility and made it WWLS-FM on Oct 23, 2006. It took another 5.5 years for the AM side to be demoted to KWPN (not KEPN as I misrecalled in my original report: I never can remember the calls since it still non-IDs as ``WWLS``, and I avoid listening to stupid sportstalk as much as possible). Also, 640 remains infested with IBOC, but only during daytime, and sometimes turned off unpredictably. Meanwhile, it would take several years for OU to get back into the public radio field, and by then, no full-power FM channels were available (or affordable), so KGOU became a class-A on 106.3, and had to add another one on 105.7, KROU in Spencer, just the other side of OKC, in order to cover the city adequately.

I wonder if this is Memphis, TN? Powell From: texas4...@core.com texas4...@core.com On 1030 Kc I have a spanish station playing calipso music as well as other Carribean style music. At 2315 there was a ID given by a man with a deep voice as, Radio National nothing else but music. Also there is a nother spanish station that fades in and out but I think that one is Cuba. There is no KDKA or WHO. I checked my old WRTH for 2001 and f ound there is a Radio National listed for Colombia. Anybody else hearing this???
