[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, October 6-14, 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

** U S A. 780, Oct 12 at 1204 UT, nulling KSPI Stillwater, I expect 
still to hear WBBM making fast SAH with off-frequency KSPI, but 
instead it`s Newstalk 780, WJAG, Norfolk NE, with morning news, ad for 
Battle Creek Mutual Insurance --- that could be confusing --- and 1205 
UT, Skywatch weather including records and forecast. 

WJAG is surprisingly seldom heard here at 629 km = 391 statute miles; 
1 kW ND daytimer with 500 watt PSRA but no PSSA, says NRC AM Log. If 
not for KSPI, it might be JBA in daytime like 840 KTIC, but that`s 5 
kW. Official FCC sunrise for WJAG full power is 1245 UT in October, 
1315 UT in November. In fact, I find only one previous report of it, 
almost exactly three years ago, so this must be the season for it:

``780, Oct 8 [2015!] at 1210 UT, promo for Norfolk Community Theatre, 
local news from WJAG, i.e. Norfolk NE, 1 kW ND daytimer, but before 
1245 UT in Oct, must be only on 500 W PSRA; yes, one of those few 
legacy W-calls west of the Miss. Nearby KSPI OK is nulled, and at this 
time no WBBM, after axual Chicago sunrise today at 1155 UT``.

WJAG dates back to 1922, but no explanation of the call letters:

Own website seems to lack any history:

UNIDENTIFIED. 771, Oct 9 at 1322 UT, carrier here hetting another one 
on 770. Strange, not noted before, not a TP frequency, and too late 
for that anyway. Possibly local device, but seems spot on 771.00; 
could a US station be 1 kHz off, vs KKOB, KKOB or KKAM? (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710, Oct 7 at 0604 UT, JBA talk vs noise level and CCI,
TIS? I include this frequency in MW bandscans, and often there is a
JBA carrier, but had not heard Radio RetÃn lo que Tienes, gospel
huxter pirate in BÃton Rouge LA, for months after alleged FCC bust at
least of its publicized FM side. Checking again, since Terry L
Krueger, Clearwater FL, just reported this audible again
