[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, August 19-25, 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. FRG-7 is no longer in use.

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. 1040, Aug 19 at 1800 UT, YL with Fox News, running ahead of // 1000 KTOK OKC. Hmm, could this be WHO barely on groundwave, or the Metroplex station? NO! I forgot that local 960 KGWA puts spurs on plus/minus 80 kHz, as so IDed at 1805 UT. The other one is more blocked by KRVN, and neither can be heard at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1157 & 1183 kHz, Aug 19 at 1757 UT, IBOC noiseblobs peaking here, i.e. out of KFAQ 1170 Tulsa. Had not heard any IBOC from them, day or night, for many weeks/months (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

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

** U S A. 740, Aug 25 at 1150 UT, looking for KTRH Houston on day pattern due to Hurricane Harvey, but can`t find it, even nulling KRMG. KTRH has sometimes come in before, without any hurricane. NRC Pattern Book reminds that day & night it`s nominally same direxional circle tangent toward SW down the coast; adding in nighttime a smaller lobe due east (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Aug 19 at 1758 UT, weak signal of music? too weak to be KLEY nearby Wellington KS; also inferior to 1120, 1140 and 1150 stations. KLEY had been AWOL earlier, came back, and may have been off for some time again, not checked for recently. 

1130 KWKH Shreveport would not be playing music except incidentally during sports talk. There is another possibility, 25 kW direxional daytimer KTMR Converse TX (Houston market), listed last year as Spanish religion. Pattern is flattened with a null toward KWKH, of course, major lobes WNW/ESE, including some to the NNW, ourway. But really too far for daytime over-Texas groundwave, except maybe a remnant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) no, it must really be KLEY on reduced power. See later Eclipse trip log (gh)
