[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, December 9-15, 2016

--- Begin Message --- 
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

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:

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open access:

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 

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Dec 9 at 0021 UT, YL voice in English with marine weather, S9 peaks, but noise level is S8. CCG schedule shows starting at 0007 UT is VCP Placentia, via St John`s transmitter site. Nothing now on 2749-USB from NS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

===============

** OKLAHOMA. 4600, Dec 15 at 1357 UT, weak but clearly audible signal matching 1390 KCRC Enid sportstalk, again making appearances. Not a plain old harmonic, and previously logged early this year:

``4600, Jan 28 at 1352 UT, JBA talk, which on a hunch I match to local KCRC 1390, ESPN, so it`s some kind of local mix, not a harmonic``

Had I researched my archive further then, I would have found this strange computation from 2014y:

``4600, May 18 at 0112, JBA modulation from local Enid mix // 1390 KCRC ESPN audio. But our other strong signal, 960 KGWA has to be involved. Formula: 4 x 1390 = 5560, minus 960 = 4600``

No longer with ESPN. But there is no sign of audio on 4600 from KGWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

===============

** U S A. KCKN had another transmitter malfunction and has been off for about a month I'm told. No other info other than they are "working on it" Take care (Jerry Kiefer, Orlando, Dec 9, WORLD OF RADIO 1856, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

That is 50 kW 1020 in Roswell NM, where Jerry used to work. Now that he mentions it, has not been noticed lately, QRMing nearby KOKP 1020 Perry OK, but might have just finally fixed their null toward KDKA. KCKN was a 100%(?) relay of WWRV 1330 NYC, RadiovisiÃn Cristiana, complete with local timechex and ads (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1856, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1050, UT Sun Dec 11 at 0142 UT, talk about University of Minnesota Gopher football, hockey, Perkins ad, over XEG, certainly unusual. Confirmed only 1050 Gopher FB affiliate is KLAH Pipestone MN:
http://sportsaffiliates.learfieldsports.com/affiliates/minnesota1
which is a diversion from its normal format of ``Blazin` Country``. It`s licensed for 9380/432 watts U4, so obviously on day power and pattern with two major lobes NNE/SW, rather than minor nights to NW/SE. Pipestone is in the SW corner of MN. Above affil list linx to day and night radio-locator coverage maps of each station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
