--- Begin Message ---
All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E/W longwire as specified

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

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:

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of USA, unidentified, separated by ======= Within each, they are in frequency order

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, July 31 at 0540 UT, good signal with country music, no doubt KGYN Guymon out of whack again on day pattern, failing to protect Philadelphia. When properly on night pattern, it`s barely audible here. Also noticed this the past couple of nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, July 31 at 0128 UT, KZLS Enid/Hennessey/OKC is open carrier/dead air; meant to recheck it sooner, but at 0310 UT it`s again/still the case. We had a lot of rain today but no lightning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

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

** MEXICO [and non]. 710, July 25 at 0603, Mexican NA is playing underneath US station, making only a SAH, not a LAH, so XEDP is not off-frequency tonight. US station mentions an AC 913, something in Overland Park, so it`s KCMO. (KGNC Amarillo TX is not really a factor here at night; NRC Pattern Book shows day and night patterns are almost the same favoring SW to S to SE with little signal ENE toward us; yet KGNC is audible on daytime groundwave, with an edge over KCMO, whose day and night figure-8 patterns are slightly clockwise from N/S. KGNC also makes it better into OKC daytimes, contrary to pattern expectations) (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, July 25 at 0606 UT, Spanish news from KAMA El Paso TX is atop WSB again, out of whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1060, July 31 at 0536 UT, open carrier/dead air from WSW/ENE, and making fast SAH with something, doubtless the perpetually off-frequency and perpetually cheating 10 kW daytimer, KIJN Farwell TX, only lacking its Spanish praise music and preaching modulation. Now how about taking a second step, turning off the transmitter at night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1330, July 25 at 0148 UT, sunset skip is hopping, as I tune across, ``You`ll hear it all on the oil field station, KCKM``, i.e. Monahans TX of the recent DX test, but volatile propagation immediately replaces it with KNSS in Wichita (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1640, July 31 at 0459 UT, KZLS OK is still in dead air as for the last few hours, as noted at 0128 and 0310 (is no one paying attention at the station? May require a trip out to the remote Hennessey transmitter site). With its open carrier nulled, I hear ESPN Radio, and an ID for WTNI Biloxi MS, following IDs for two or three FM stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1680, July 29 at 0603 UT, very weak signal from WNW/ESE with SRN news, fast SAH with another weakie from another angle; 0605 UT ID sounds like KGEZ, hymn? and into talk show. Must be KGED Fresno CA. Since the demise of KRJO Monroe LA, have been seeking DX on this frequency more or less open here. NRC AM Log shows only KGED is with SRN, conservative talk format, 10/1 kW ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
