[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, August 28-September 1, 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 eriod 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. 1170 +IBOC noise, Aug 30 at 1207 UT, KFAQ Tulsa local talkhost trying to deny that this is a ``failing state`` despite budget crisis, teachers fleeing to Texas, highest female incarceration rate, worst opioid epidemic, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1520, Aug 30 at 0555 UT, KOKC OKC with Deborah telling fortunes to random callers; oh, make that ``psychic readings`` on `Beyond Reality Radio`. What nonsense they ply us with, M-F at 05-06 UT per sked, which requires expansions to see it all:

BRR is originally a 2-hour show from 04 UT, infesting a number of major stations:

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

** U S A. 720, Aug 29 at 1136 UT, news in English by M&W looping E/W, weak and steady, only station on frequency, no sign of WGN (which would loop NE), fading down around 1145 UT, resurges a bit, but 1158 UT check, blocked by Spanish, XEJCC JuÃrez just signing on. Got to be 50 kW KDWN Las Vegas NV, there are so few USA 720 stations, either on ND day pattern way early, or fraxion of signal leaking out around the cardioid null toward Chicago, a few degrees off from here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 730, Aug 30 at 1134 UT, 85 degree forecast, KLOE ID in passing, back to `America`s First News`. Not that far away at Goodland, NW corner of Kansas, but rarely heard here; now it`s dominant even over XEHB. Not a daytimer but 1000/20 watts U1, also 20 watts PSRA. Guess what: official FCC sunrise in August is 1200 UT; soon to be 1230 UT in September. Note that Goodland is on Mountain time, like most of the westernmost tier of Kansas counties, which might as well find themselves in Colorado (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1590, Aug 29 at 0003 UT, looking for something Houstonic, instead ``KVGB and 97-7 FM``, a strangely worded illegal ID, from Great Bend KS, disclaimer from Kansas City Royals, pending a silly ballgame? But first, adstring. You guessed it: 97.7 is a mere translator, but at least is not given top billing, K249FA per new NRC AM Log.

Not much explicit info to be found in mainstream media about which AM stations are doing good coverage or knocked off the air by Harvey, but about radio and TV in general from Corpus to Lake Charles Aug 26-28:

and much more here:

Not to diminish the seriousness of this catastrophe, since we are getting wall-to-wall coverage on various TV networks. Yet local OKC TV stations want to get in on the axion by sending their own teams into the flood. Please! We`ve got enough to keep up with in our own area. And BTW, all-news networx: the rest of the country and the rest of the world still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1893, DX LISTENING DIGEST) {later: well, covering Okie contributions to recovery effort is to be expected}

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, Aug 30 at 1152 UT, beacon ``A`` in Morse code every dekasecond, quite clearly, from Quartzsite AZ. Nice to hear at least one of these QRP beacons, with nothing audible on the 4 or 13 MHz bands for months (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
