[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, October 17, 2010

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

All times and dates strictly UT. MW log editors are welcome to excerpt items, reformat and change to favorite timezone if necessary. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; some caradio as specified; above 2 MHz on FRG-7 with 110-foot east-west longwire.

** JAPAN [and non]. TP bandscan for carriers, Oct 17 just before sunrise: from 1217 upward in USB mode on the DX-398 at 9-kHz steps: 594, 693, 774, 792, 891, 1053, 1098, 1134. From 1223 downward in LSB mode, could hear only 1098, 774; no audios, so flip to 10 kHz for Mexican SRS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Another search for sunrise skip MW DX, Oct 17. Around 1225, usual suspects on 610, 650, 730, 870, probably relogs so kept seeking elsewhere. Strangely, I was not getting much from XEROK 800.

700, at 1231, Mexican NA from the WSW; 1233 quick jingle ID with call letters but could not copy, ``Buenos días de XE--``, TC for 27:7 so is in CST/MDT zone, into canned show ``Consejos para un mejor vivir``, maybe about astrology? At least that was mentioned, soon fading out. Per WRTH, the only fit is XEGD, 5 kW, La Poderosa, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua. All others are in the wrong part of Mexico except XEETCH, 5 kW daytimer, La Voz de los Tres Ríos, Etchojoa, Sonora, but that`s in the UT-7 zone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 660, Oct 17 at 1235 UT, Dineh drumming and chanting, no doubt from KTNN, Window Rock AZ, with KSKY Dallas nulled. Is this really on night pattern with null toward New York and us? Of course, it`s already sunny eastward from OK, so why not day pattern? No way at this hour it could be degrading WFAN in the Atlantic Northwest (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
