Re: [IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, October 25, 2010

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

Glenn;

Could your REL on 880 be WRFD-OH?  That would be about 45-60 minutes
(guesstimate) after their local sunrise but if the skywave was still
hanging on, why not?.  I did not realize that they were now 23 Kw (6.1
CH).  My old (1991) NRC log has them 9 Kw with 5 Kw CH and a 500 watt
PSRA.

73,

All times and dates strictly UT. MW log editors are welcome to excerpt
items, reformat and change to favorite timezone if necessary. Rx: mostly
DX-398 with internal antenna only; some caradio as specified; above 2
MHz on FRG-7 with 110-foot east-west longwire.
 
** MEXICO. Circa sunrise MW DX Oct 25 on DX-398, internal antenna:

540, Oct 25 at 1158, Ej?rcito y Fuerza A?rea PSA from government, W
Radio promos, 1200 into local San Lu?s Potos? news by YL; from XEWA.

620, Oct 25 at 1205 after long orchestral NA, sign-on by XEBU, Chihuahua
mentioning 10 mil watts.

700, Oct 25 at 1243, several mentions of phone 52-3-13-13, ``aqu? en
Ciudad Parral``, and hours it may be called, street address, mentions
astrology. Same station I heard Oct 17, XEGD, Hidalgo del Parral,
Chihuahua, with ``Consejos para un mejor vivir``.

1100, Oct 25 at 1217, some ranchera music audible only with KFAB IBOC
nulled. XENAS, Navojoa, Sonora looks best bet (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3160, WPJK x 2, SC, again late signing on, Oct 25: Nothing
there at 1127-1133. Retune at 1139 and now they are in sign-on message,
1140 train whistling and gospel music. Poor reception today with storm
noise level probably from Alabama/Georgia area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 720, KDWN Las Vegas NV, Oct 25 at *1244:40 UT again cuts onto
day pattern an hour too early, amid Heidi Harris telling how to vote on
state questions, 1246 to traffic report; 1253 had faded down but soon
back up.

790, Oct 25 at 1248 UT, KNST Tucson AZ again dominating over KFYO
Lubbock TX and anything else, with ID, news, 1251 Wall Street Journal
This Morning.

860, KOAM lives! Oct 25 after CBS News ended with kicker about
Bullwinkle, at 1210 UT I was surprised to hear a ``KOAM News Update``,
mentioning ``the four states``, stories from Joplin, Neosho, Pittsburg,
KOAM mentioned a couple more times, but at 1212 transformed into
``Classic Country AM 860, KKOW``, music. 

KOAM [Kansas/Oklahoma/Arkansas/Missouri] was the original call on 860,
Pittsburg KS. Still applies to TV station on 13, with a CP to move back
to original 7 and increase power. Not to any FM station, let alone AM
860. So apparently the TV station supplies the local news bits to KKOW,
whether or not they are still commonly owned.

880, Oct 25 at 1247 UT, preacher in English from east/west, certainly
not KRVN. Could be KLRG Sheridan AR 50 kW, but NRC AM Log has that as
talk. Could also be KHAC Tse Bonito NM = Window Rock AZ, which is
religious plus Navajo. After all, I am also getting KDWN 720 Las Vegas
NV, but it`s also before sunrise in TB/WR, so should be on 430 watt
night power instead of 10 kW day, nondirexional at all times.

920, Oct 25 at 1234 UT, lo-key single announcer with local Utah news
dominating frequency, traffic accident, Uinta and adjacent Duchesne
county unemployment rates; 1236 ``AM 920 KVEL News-Talk``, ad. KVEL is
in Vernal, NE corner of state, dinosaur country. NRC AM Log says 5/1 kW,
mentions no PSRA, but this is well before sunrise there. NRC Pattern
Book shows night has major lobe to the NE, very minor one sort of toward
us, while daytime is non-direxional. I bet it was really the latter.

1430, Oct 25 at 1354 UT, ``Studio 1430`` acknowledges a listener in
Germany (presumably webcast), from NW/SE, then ``The Man in My Girl`s
Life`` song involving speaking more than singing; SAH of about 10 Hz but
dominating channel despite two OK 1430s, more than an hour after LSR
here. It`s also after sunrise there which in October is 1315 UT;
November 1345. Night pattern goes slightly east of north; daytime
nondirexional. 1359 mentioning non-smokers dying in Nebraska; 1400 CNN
News; 1403, 8:03 timecheck in the ``Breakfast Club``, local headlines
mentioning Denver. So this is KEZW, COL suburb Aurora, with format, news
network and slogan all corresponding to info in NRC AM Log also
headquartered there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 25: around 1155 UT looked for 747
and 774 from Japan, but not. A bit better in fuller scan 1221 downward
in LSB mode: 1098, 774, 747, 738; 1223 upward in USB mode: 747 774, 828,
1098, 1116 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
