All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT` during EDT; when changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-04 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

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:

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
** U S A. 570, UT Monday May 30 at 0541 UT, dominant signal is from WSW/ENE, definitely not SSE/NNW which would be KLIF Dallas --- hardly anything from there. It`s on Fox Sports Radio, and would you believe they are running about 5 minutes straight of FSR promos? Geez, how can anyone listen to that, especially by their super-hype staff announcer, oozing with insincerity?
Anyhow this is very anomalous as I don`t normally get anything from such an angle at night on 570. Not many stations could it be, either Paducah or Las Cruces, and FSR is the latest known format of KWML Las Cruces NM, 5000/155 watts U1, not WKYX Paducah KY, ``Newstalk 94.3``. Perhaps a pipeline from KWML as it did fade down and out for a while, if not 5 kW day by accident. 0604 UT again audible with more FSR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 690, UT Monday May 30 at 0552 UT, Fox Sports Radio, same as already hearing on 570 KWML --- they keep talking about Oklahoma City, apparently post-some silly ballgame. 0556 UT breaks for Fox ``news`` minute capsule, then a bunch of national PSAs since no advertising has been sold. As 0600 UT approaches, I`m switching back and forth with 570, hoping to catch a local ToH ID; 570 is in a fade at 10 seconds before 0600 UT, so what does 690 say? NOTHING, just dead air where the ID should have been plugged in. And back to more FSR.
>From the outset I`ve been sure this is KGGF Coffeyville KS, due to strength and bearing, like we get before local midnight, its normal sign-off time with a patriotic song and Taps, 0500v UT (tho part of the time they leave unmodulated carrier on into the night, or all night?). Own website does not account for this
http://kggfradio.com/kggf-am/kggf-am-line-up
but does admit to being a Fox ``News`` affiliate. Instead of all the non sports news/talk shows, I suspect they went with FSR due to some sillyballgame concerning Oklahoma City of regional if not local interest. The Bartlesville OK cluster including KWON 1400 were supposedly buying KGGF but no sign of that yet on the KGGF website (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 690, May 31 at 0458 UT, open carrier dead air already from KGGF Coffeyville KS; no ToH ID, 0500 UT into Fox Sports Radio, like I was still hearing last night an hour later, also anonymously, contrary to website schedule, and previous practice of closing programming if not turning off transmitter, at local midnight = 0500 UT.
I hope they haven`t gone full-time FSR, deleting Jim Bohannon, UT Tue-Sat 0206-0500, our best source for his worthwhile talkshow. Will have to check that; but May 31 at 1419 UT, plug for some game tonight on ``The Mighty 690`` (new slogan for them? but hardly original among many other ##90 stations; BTW this rhymes better than you might think as in casual speech, including even my own, I realize, ``90`` can be pronounced ``nighty``), local ads, national PSA, plug `Better Horses Radio Show` Saturdays at 10 AM [CDT = 15 UT], 1421 UT back to current show `Open Line`, for buy/sell/trade/giveaway, long play theme of `Swingin` Safari`, with local and 800 numbers, but not much action as host starts with detailed weather forecast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 690, June 1 at 0218 UT check, KGGF Coffeyville KS is amid a silly baseball game, mentioning Royals, so on that network from closest major-league city KC. Jim Bohannon formerly started at 0206 UT, but stupid ballgames trump everything, so could still be there when there is no game. But 0412 UT and 0546 UT rechex, it`s still about Royals, presumably post-game.
Next night, UT June 2 at 0452 UT check, which should have been the last few minutes of JimBo, instead it`s some OTR show I don`t recognize on `When Radio Was`. Circa 0642 UT there`s a local weather break during Fox Sports --- so KGGF has definitely revamped programming, besides extending past local midnight, presumably connected with the purchase by sports-manic KWON+ Bartlesville OK cluster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2097.3-CW, June 1 at 0608 UT check, beacon sending A every dekasecond can be detected, from Quartzite AZ, despite hi local storm noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
