[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, April 22-28, 2017

--- Begin Message --- 
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

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 [if any], unidentified [if any], separated by ======= Within each, they are in frequency order

** OKLAHOMA. 596 kHz, April 22 at 1838 UT check, high noon, still JBA carrier which I traced months ago to a spur out of 1640 KZLS, east of Hennessey (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGESET)

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

** U S A. IBOC noise check around 0456 UT April 28: 670 WSCR, 780 WBBM, 830 WCCO, 1080 KRLD (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 690, April 28 at 0454 UT, outro from a network (?) called Radio One, then local weather from KGGF Coffeyville KS, axually from a YL weatherperson at NewsOnSix = KOTV-45 (for a while longer), Tulsa. I continue to lament that KGGF no longer carries Jim Bohannon at 02-05 UT, which used to be our best source, so at 0457 UT I check whether he`s still on: KWTO 560 Springfield MO, KFEQ 680 St Joseph MO --- yes, he is. KWTO is where he worked early in his career. I don`t find a network named Radio One in the list on page 271 of the NRC AM Log, nor as a station group on page 276, nor as a show on page 272. 

`When Radio Was` is on the schedule at 11 pm-midnight CT M-F

** U S A. 770, April 23 at 1214 UT, steady signal mentions crawfordbroadcasting.com and loops N/S. Surely it`s my nearest at that angle after sunrise here, KAAM Garland (Metroplex) TX. But that station is not licensed to Crawford, and the website shows their only 770 is KCBC San Francisco (Manteca) CA, certainly not what I am hearing with its lobes into the Pacific, even if on 50 kW cardioid day pattern. KAAM program schedule 
http://www.kaamradio.com/schedule/
states merely `public affairs`` for 7-7:30 am Sundays. Apparently they carry some Crawford program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1020, April 28 at 0500 UT, singing ID for RadiovisiÃn Cristiana (1330 NYC), so KCKN Roswell NM is currently active, and plenty to QRM KOKP Perry OK with a heavy SAH, let alone KDKA Pittsburgh PA which it is supposed to protect (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1030, April 23 at 1221 UT, IDs as ``Real Country 1030 AM, KCWJ`, i.e. Blue Springs (Independence) MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1140, April 23 at 1223 UT, jazz show with classic performances from 1948, 1949; 1241 UT Miles and the Nonet. Tight DF for NE/SW, atop some SS QRM from AR or NL, 1258 UT finally YL talkover mentions Kansas City, so KCXL Liberty MO, now on 4 kW non-direxional day power. Name of show in passing sounded like ``Neon Jazz``, but program schedule http://www.kcxl.com/shows.html lists `Neon Beat` at 6-8 am CT and all afternoons Saturdays & Sundays, otherwise far-right extremist talk shows (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1875, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Re: ** U S A. 1640, April 15 at 0437 UT, local KZLS (Alex Jones accusing 
salon.com of lying about him; he makes me want to puke), with an 
understation, traces of Spanish. Rather than Argentina or PerÃ, I`m 
confident it is KBJA Sandy UT, the only SS known in North America on 
1640. No sign of WTNI Biloxi MS with silly sportstalk in English, 
which is the usual understation, and often QRMing KZLS as if on 
daypower (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn - re 1640 don't forget Juventus don Bosco from Dominican 
Republic. I have pointed out to the editors that the current edition 
of WRTH omits all Dominican Republic stations from their Central 
American listings. 73 (/Andrew Brade, England, DX LISTENING DIGESET)

O yes, I had a gnawing feeling something was missing. But still KBJA 
would be far more likely here. DR is of course not in Central America, 
but grouped with Caribbean, Bermuda & Mexico for the by-frequency 
pages in the back, no DR at the end of the list on page 551. The 
National Radio page for DR, 186, does include that 1640 station, plus 
others on 1620, 1670 and 1680. They were all in the 2016 edition page 
551; strange (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
