[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, November 4, 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.

** MEXICO [and non]. 650, one of the most reliable sunrise-skip signals is XETNT: Nov 4 at 1240 UT, about six timechex in a row for 5:40, mixing live OM DJ voice and canned YL, now that Los Mochis, Sinaloa is back on MST of UT -7 instead of MDT of UT -6. Then ID as ``Doble-ú Radio, Radio Sesenta y Cinco``, back to wakeup music. By 1257, WSM is dominating with local music performance ad. 

680, at 1245 Nov 4, off-key singer and band from another XE, but did not hold up long enough for further clues or ID. Maybe XEORO Guasave, Sinaloa, in keeping with 650 source, but there are also stations in Chihuahua, Sonora.

On 710 at 1241 Nov 4, also heard a 5:42 = UT -7 TC, which might be XEBL, Culiacán, Sinaloa, in the proper zone, tho I was expecting the usually dominant XEDP in Cuauhtémoc, Chihua2, where on CST it should be 6:42 am. Again at 1252 UT, a timecheck over the music as 5:52 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 3160, WPJK I did not get tuned in until 1200 Nov 4, and it was underway with the usual Gospel Train music, 2 x 1580 de Orangeburg SC. At 1202, 3250 Honduras and 4052.5- Guatemala were still barely audible before fadeout (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 830, Nov 4 at 1304 Huckaby commentary gloating over Republican wins, 1305 promo for ``Fox Radio Network`` community calendar input to Poplar Bluff MO address, so it`s 10 kW KOTC in Kennett, bootheel, but per NRC AM Log with studios in P.B., and a CP to move city of license to Memphis TN. 

Obviously, the national Fox network has nothing to do with a local community calendar, but station calls itself that for self-aggrandizement, flopping as far as I am concerned, not impressed. NRC shows format as rock/oldies rather than talk, but did not stay tuned to confirm that. Instead, while this English was E/W, noticed Spanish N/S, likely either Nuevo León or Coahuila. No sign of WCCO now, but more than an hour later at 1408 it had the channel with ``traffic and weather together`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Nov 4: on the DX-398 in USB mode, upward from 1227 UT: 612, 738, 774, 792, 828. 738 had the usual SW bearing instead of NW, so presumably TAHITI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
