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)
