These logs are excerpts from my daily
all-band reports, mainly SWBC, 
also VHF/UHF, sometimesÂutility, 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

** MEXICO. 820, Jan 15 at 1344, ``Canal ocho-veinte, A-B-C Radio`` 
canned ID between tunes, like at almost every break; with WBAP nulled, 
which can be very weak here, as XEABCA Mexicali hops in by SRS; just 
before, the only SS propagating lower were on 660, 720. Our LSR is 
inching earlier, 1342 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA? Replies to my 1521 kHz carrier in daytime:

Up until a couple of years ago, 1521 used to be the strongest TA on 
the dial, strong enough to be heard on a portable many times. Since then, 
though, it has been heard occasionally here, but not strong. I don't know 
why. It makes it to the Cape okay. I was told that it signs off much earlier 
now (Mike Bugaj, Enfield, CT, -72Â 30' W/41Â 59' N, FN31RX, WTFDA 
Forum via DXLD)

Glen[n], fwiw. I've been hearing the German time signal, on 77.5 kHz, as 
early as 2 pm CST. The AF & EU LW stations (153, 171, 183, 198, 225, 
252) have been following about an hour later. I'll listen for your 1521 & 
see what turns up. IIRC, KRHW 1520 Sikeston, MO has wandered off 
frequency, before. We'll see. (73, Ed NN2E, Owner / Operator - Murphy's 
Law Test Site & Thunderstorm Proving Grounds, KY, Jan 13, ibid.)

Spent some time checking 1521, today. I can report that I hear no local / 
regional signals on that frequency during mid-day. Beginning 90 minutes 
before my Sunset I started hearing a carrier from the northeast. I have 
no way of telling if it was from the KSA as there's too much Stateside 
QRM to detect any audio. 73, (Ed NN2E, Jan 14, ibid.)

** KOREA SOUTH. 1566, Jan 16 at 1341 I start continuous monitoring of 
the NW carrier here, until it cut off at 1344:31.5*, i.e. FEBC Jeju, 
250 kW HLAZ switching from Japan to China beams. LSR here is 1342. 
After my full JBA MW carrier bandscan, see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Jan 16 at 1330-
1340, barely preceding our LSR of 1342: 558-WSW-Fiji?, 693-NW, 702, 
774-NW, 873-NW, 882, 972-NW, 1044-NW, 1413-NW, 1422-NW, 1557, 1566-NW
(2), 1575-NW, 1602-NW. Those with no DF are either too weak/QRMed to 
tell, or maybe from both direxions. See also KOREA SOUTH (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
