[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, January 8-14, 2016

--- Begin Message --- 
All times and dates strictly UT [5 hours ahead of `ELT` during EST; when changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-05 UT period to the previous date by ELT].

Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; IC-R75 with E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire

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:

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

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Jan 13 at 0104 UT, S6 YL voice in English with marine weather, mainly wind forecasts for Friday, Saturday, Sunday at uncopiable locations. Canadian Coast Guard site shows St Anthony, Nfld starting at 0107 UT, but there must be something just before it: yes, further down the page, MCTS Placentia, VCP via St Lawrence site starting at 0048 UT, ``Technical marine synopsis, forecasts and wave height forecasts for marine areas 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237 and 238. Weather and Wave height forecasts for marine area 213`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CANADA. 2748.98-USB, Jan 10 at 0156 UT, YL in French, not synthetic? S5 with marine weather. Nominal 2749, but sounds better slightly off-tuned. VCS Halifax starts at 0140 UT in English to be followed by French, via Chebogue, Nova Scotia site. Nothing on 2598-USB now, nor 2514 or 2582 after 0200 UT, when far-north stations are scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

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

** U S A. 600, Jan 10 at 0545 UT on the R75 [from Brandon] with E/W longwire, first check for the WBOB Jacksonville FL DX test which started at 0500 UT. Really too much WMT on this antenna, so switch to DX-398 nulling WMT IA as much as possible, i.e. aiming SE instead of ESE, which leaves a mix of Cuba and who knows what. Soon I hear Morse code spelling out JACKSONVILLE, so I could stop right there; 0549 UT sweep tones; 0550 UT rising beeps, phone-off-hook pulses; 0554 UT fire alarm siren & bells; very slow Morse spelling out WBOB a few times; 0555 UT phone-off-hook; 0557 UT WBOB in Morse many times; 0558 UT sweeps upward; 0559 UT beeps upward; 0600 UT phone-off-hook; 0603 UT fire alarm; 0605 UT I hear a voice mention Jacksonville, but suspect it was coincidental at end of Fox ``news`` from WMT; etc., etc. Tnx for the test, reportedly with 35 kW non-direxional day power and ND pattern rather than 9.5 kW out into the Atlantic normally at night (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 760, Jan 14 at 0703 UT, WJR Detroit is still very much on, altho Tom Jasinski in Joliet IL had notified us one bihour earlier: ``WJR 760 should be going off the air for maintenance tonight. Heard brief announcement just minutes ago while listening to John Batchelor show``. No time was specified; maybe they went off later, but I`ve seen no reports confirming that; or a last-minute postponement. Jim Renfrew in NY also reported they were still on between 05 and 07 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 860, Jan 11 at 1326 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS with birthday greetings, and one  of them gets a polka dedication played at 1328 UT, regular weekday feature at this time. 

Slow SAH from another 860 station playing gospel music, almost same or opposite direxion. Format UC:GOS fits for KMVP PhÅnix AZ, 940/1000 watts U2, but if it was really C&W that could be KPAN Hereford TX, 250/231 U1, per NRC AM Log. KMVP night pattern does have a little lobe this way; and at same time I`m getting further Sonora on 700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 930, Jan 14 at 1320 UT, after some local ads, ``Great Oldies 24/7, KCCC``, from Carlsbad NM; slogan maybe alternative to rather than replacing listed ``Pure Gold`` in NRC AM Log 2015-2016; 1000/60 watts U1 and PSRA 500. Jan SR/SS: 1400/0015 UT; Feb 1345/0045 UT. PSRA could start at 1300 UT. With WKY OKC close to right angle, mostly nulled (watch out for WKY La Indomable lapsing to commercials in English when trying to sort them out) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1060, Jan 14 at 1322 UT, rap in Spanish, 1323 UT TC for 6:23 and ``Fiesta 10-60`` non-ID, i.e. KXPL El Paso TX; more rap. It`s a 10 kW ND daytimer, but with a 500-watt PSRA which could start at 1300 UT. Jan SR/SS are 1400/0030 UT; Feb: 1345/0045 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1540+, Jan 13 at 0152 UT, mix of KXEL Waterloo IA English talk and KEDA San Antonio TX TexMexmx, but also still with the low-audible-heterodyne on the hi side from off-frequency KGBC Galveston TX Hum FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
