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:

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside or randomwire; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified
** MEXICO [and non]. 580, Aug 17 at 0541, ranchera music is holding its own against WIBW Topeka, presumed XEMU Piedras Negras, and as the two are not exactly opposite, by carefully positioning the DX-398 I can null or minimize the WIBW signal without totally nulling the other one. Live DJ with timecheck, but no ID, before WIBW regains (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521.0, Aug 19 at 0240, carrier hetting KOKC OKC, which has got to be the 2-megawatt BSKSA Duba transmitter in the NW corner, the #1 beacon for trans-Atlantic MW DX conditions; WRTH shows sked is 15-03 UT, which seems strange, except they obviously find it worth running only during night hours.
>From mid-August, the ``season`` is supposedly back for us. Can`t pull any audio on 1521 or detect anything on 1566 or 1512 (Glenn Hauser, OK, NRD-545, ALA-1530S [but I can also hear the 1521/1520 het merely on the DX-398 with ferrite], WORLD OF RADIO 1787, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
The WRTH has listed Duba for a long time on 594 kHz with 2 megawatts on air at 0300-1500. Could this be the daytime frequency [better groundwave propagation] and 1521 kHz the nighttime frequency 1500-0300 [better skywave propagation]?
