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:

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open access:
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page34

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified

** MEXICO. 740-, May 3 at 0628, heavy LAH to KRMG, and with Tulsa nulled I can make out some Spanish: ``Radio Fórmula, 740`` promos, 0630 back to YL talk show, someone on phone. So it`s the same one previously IDed for this awful QRM, off-frequency XEQN, Torreón, Coahuila, 10/1 kW, which is conveniently close to 90 degrees away from Tulsa; altho there is another Fórmula in Cancún QR, XECAQ, 20/10 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Oops, I should have included following in my Domestic report, but here it is anyway, and remember MW goes up to 3000 kHz ---

** CANADA. 2749-USB, May 1 at 0151, marine weather by YL in English, 0152 ID ``--- Radio`` and into French by another YL; poor signal improves somewhat and I copy a few phrases, ``Avis à la navigation`` several times, 0159 ``La Nouvelle-Écosse``, ``conditions de glace`` (waters still icy by mai?); 0200 Temps Universel Coordonné, which was probably a schedule announcement, and off by 0201.

Per Bill Hepburn`s 
http://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
this is VAR-3, somewhere around the Bay of Fundy, NS, WX starting at 0140, 1040, 1640, 2040, and NA (what`s that?) starting at 1240, each in English and French. Coördinates are 43 44 24 / 66 07 19 which puts it near or in Yarmouth at the SW end of NS. 2749 is shared with three other stations, next being VCS-2, Halifax from 0240, and it`s only in English. Also checked 2598-USB for the N&L stations, but nothing heard: VOK in Labrador starts at 0137 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1772, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
