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, unidentified [if any], separated by ======= Within each, they are in
frequency order
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Oct 21 at 1236 UT, WKY OKC transmission has finally stopped
hiccuping, interrupting Spanish chat every 1.36 seconds (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
=================
** U S A. 570, Oct 27 at 0518 UT, ``American Pie``, 0520 UT ``104.5 FM and AM
570, Las Cruces`` non-ID with no calls, right back to another classic rock
tune. Good signal mutually separable from KLIF. Hard to believe KWML Las Cruces
NM is on night power of 155 watts instead of day 5000 watts, both
non-direxional. 104.5 despite top billing is a mere translator, K283CG (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 650, Oct 25 at 1231 UT, Fox ``news``, into KGAB news center, i.e.
Cheyenne WY, dominating way above any XETNT, let alone WSM at this hour.
Obviously on 8.5 kW ND day pattern instead of 0.5 kW direxional night to the
NW; yet local official FCC sunrise for Oct is not until 1315 UT (November: 1345
UT). Not the first morning I have heard them lately. Community of License is
Orchard Valley, a south-side suburb; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1190-, Oct 27 at 0546 UT, unfamiliar rock music, ``You are listening
to Boulder and Denver`s premiere independent radio station, 98.9 and 1190 AM in
Boulder``, no calls, but per NRC AM Log 2016 it`s student-operated KVCU, with
an AOR/VAR format. 98.9 with top-billing is a mere translator, K255DA. Hard to
believe 1190 is 110 watts night power instead of 6800 day power, both
non-direxional. Is slightly off-frequency to low side; fades a bit vs some
Spanish CCI, more likely Mexican than United Statesian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1380, Oct 24 at 0321 UT, sports talk in English about Cubs is
dominating and // echoing with 1020 KOKP Perry OK which is with Fox Sports
Radio; 1380 from NE/SW, instead of usual KRCM Spanish religion from SSE on day
power --- it may be there but very weak now. Altho KKRX 1380 Lawton OK has
flipped to sports, it`s south of here, and with CBS Sports Radio (but
exclusively??), and never heard at night. KHEY El Paso TX, 5000/500 U1, is Fox
Sports Radio, and indeed at 0332 UT I hear Fox SR mentioned, so very likely
this (and Juárez stations are in well). Only other could be KXFN St Louis,
silent since last December, had sports format, and would have to be on
reactivated 5 kW day pattern southwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1620, Oct 24 t 0315 UT, YL with weather for Pensacola, Milton, etc.,
in some detail, lows to be in mid-to-low 40s in the FL Panhandle; purple flags
on the beach warning of jellyfish. ``Look at satellite weather`` so maybe a TV
simulcast from a 10 pm CT newscast? So it`s WNRP, Gulf Breeze FL, 10/1 kW. This
one is amazingly rare here --- 1620 dominated by NE, TX, or from that direxion,
R. Rebelde, Cuba, usually without any sign of WNRP. Maybe they failed to
decimate their power tonight? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
=============
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1180, Oct 27 at 1256 UT, open carrier/dead air making
SAH of 160/minute = 2 and 2/3 Hz with sports talk, but traffic report at 1259
UT, ID as ``1180 Zone 2 the Deuce``, i.e. KZOT Omaha NE. OC/DA loops SW/NE so I
think it`s KLPF Midland TX, which I recently confirmed had completed its
upgrade move from 1150, with Guadalupe Catholic network programming in English.
About to sign-on? No, still OC but fading at 1302 UT. Both these are 25 kW day
power, KLPF non-direxional, but KZOT is broadly direxional southwest, nothing
unusual here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
