[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, September 15-October 5, 2018

--- Begin Message --- 
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 
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:Â

These logs are [potentially] 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]. 890, October 3 at 1821 UT, KTLR OKC is the 
first station I hear running the much-publicized nationwide EAS test 
(eclipsed by text version 2 minutes earlier I am not equipped to 
receive). It`s an impossible task to evaluate the 1-minute EAS, 
without recording the entire local AM and/or FM bands for later study 
as if they were DX --- did anybody do this? 

As zero-minute approached, I was set to scan up MW ASAP starting at 
550. After KTLR, many others were heard, but nothing seemed to be 
synchronized. One station still playing music while others EASed, was 
1130, KLEY Wellington KS, but moving on, I don`t know whether they did 
run it earlier, later, or never. At least they long ago solved the 
transmission breakup/noise pulsing which plagued KLEY most of the 
first half of this year.

Notably, 930, WKY OKC ran a Spanish version of the EAS announcement 
circa 1822 UT. At least I did not hear any horrible echoes or 
distortions as has happened previously, due to too-lengthy relay 
chains! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
