[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, November 12-29, 2018

--- 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:

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. 640, Sunday Nov 25 at 1332 UT, dead air from KWPN Moore 
instead of silly sportstalk, but reducing CCI to KFI. Probably ran 
non-sports weekly pubaffs show at 1300 UT, and failed to resume when 
it finished; also plays out on sibling station 930 WKY in English 
instead of Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

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

** U S A. 640, Nov 27 at 2132 UT I am bandscanning on caradio at a 
quiet parking lot in western Enid, finding dead air again from KWPN, 
but turning up the volume, somestation is audible under --- it must be 
WOI, public radio in Ames IA. I hasten to A/B with 91.7 KOSU to make 
it // during NPR ATC, but ``ESPN 1390`` blasts back on in less than a 
minute. Anyhow it would not be in // as WOI is amid BBC Newshour, no 
ATC there until 2200. TROTS: if OU had not stupidly sold off its 
legacy AM station, WNAD 640, today Oklahoma would have public radio on 
AM (and a lot better reception in the hinterlands than its low-power 
FM successor KGOU and satellites can muster) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 710, Nov 28 a 2038 UT, counting the SAH fades between KGNC 
Amarillo and KCMO Kansas City both on groundwave: 156/minute = 2.6 Hz. 
Again on caradio at a parking lot in western Enid.

1090, Nov 28 at 2040 UT, SAH here of 5 Hz, talk station vs music 
station. One is certainly KEXS Excelsior Springs MO, 10 kW, which 
barely makes it here by groundwave; the other could be KAAY Little 
Rock, starting skywave as it`s really too far for groundwave. No other 
1090s likely (a couple in further reaches of TX). (Glenn Hauser, Enid 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Nov 28 at 2101 UT, `The Tiger` ID after weak 
sportstalk, which I knew had to be KWKH Shreveport, as nearer KLEY 
Wellington KS is off the air again --- better than pulsing and 
breaking up as it did earlier this year, but seemed to have recovered 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1250, Nov 20 at 1348 UT, nulling KYYS, Spanish from Kansas 
City, I have a sports station in English, itself roughly N/S, talking 
about ``The Blitz``, which I assume is some local team, then 
commercial for Augie`s Barbecue, on Broadway. It seems there is no 
current Blitz team altho there used to be one in Chicago. Blitz may 
now be some sports-oriented promotional entity or non-turf game. 

Search on the BBQ however leads right to San Antonio TX, and I also 
heard ``1604`` mentioned, which is the outer loop around SA beyond I-
410. So this is KZDC, 25000/920 watts U4, major daylobe to NW. With 
ESPN. Fits since 1200 WOAI is also still in. Don`t recall hearing KZDC 
before, maybe a previous call? But it`s been KZDC since 1995! And I 
did last log it in March, 2015. Well legal now, post-sunrise at 1300 
UT in Nov (1315 UT in Dec) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1270, Nov 27 at 2138 UT, Spanish game report involving a 
pelota and a dominicano, so bÃisbol. Groundwave would render KRXO 
Claremore OK sports in English, so skywave from The Metroplex is 
already propagating 50 kW KFLC Benbrook TX atop any KRXO (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
