** MEXICO. 620, Oct 27 at 1206, after Mex NA, XEBU sign-on with calls twice, ``La Norteñita`` slogan, Chihuahua.

660, Oct 27 at 1214, 6:14 TC, ``en La Tremenda``, atención Agua Nueva, obits after barbacoa ad. Slogan belongs to XEACB, Ciudad Delicias, Chih (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1010, Oct 27 at 1357, from NW/SE, farm report, ad for corn maze (get it?) S of Atwood on hiway 63, business report. Figured it was KSIR Brush-Fort Morgan CO, and the maze location fits nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Oct 27 at 1203, CBS News (in English) in WKY null. Best bet is KWOC Poplar Bluff MO, listed by NRC as CBS and close to right angle from OKC (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 27 at 1221: JBA on 747, 774, no doubt the usual NHKs. Today by force of will, I turned off the radio and got another sesquihour of much-needed sleep (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 580, in WIBW null, Oct 28 at 1240 UT, political ad for some Colorado issue about electrification, ergo KUBC Montrose on the Western Slope. Should be on 500 watt PSRA at this hour well before sunrise.

720, KDWN Las Vegas NV once again cuts on non-direxional day pattern an hour too early, 1244:40 UT Oct 28 amid Heidi Harris, cheerleader and apologist for farrightwingnut Sharron Angle, soon into traffic report (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 28, USB setting on DX-398 at 1246, found bits on 1116, 1134; and using LSB at 1250 on 828, 774, 747 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 2850, KCBS, Oct 29 at 1240 triumphal choral music audible vs noise level; not much else could be heard on 120 thru 60 meters. Next check 1303 much better S9+20 during W&M Korean talk. Then 3480 hetwar also audible, and at 1305 numerous carriers on 60m, but too much noise. LSR here is 1252 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 720, KDWN Las Vegas NV, cuts on day pattern illegally one hour too early, and suddenly becomes audible vs remnants of WGN, Oct 29 at 1244:38 UT as Heidi Harris turns it right over to traffic report.

990, Oct 29 at 1300 UT, joint ID for AM 990 KRMO Cassville MO, and AM 940 KSWM Aurora MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

1460, Oct 29 at 1352 UT I should be getting Spanish KZUE El Reno OK, but am hearing English from Father Jim, N/S-ish, a Marian cultist, so is it EWTN affiliate KHOJ Saint Charles MO? That should be NE/SW.

Or could La Tremenda have some English now? Website http://www.latremendaokc.com/ does not work. At 1400 ID sounds like WAKW in a –ville, but that`s not correct, and could be from something else anyway, perhaps a closer station relaying something originating east of the Miss. 

At 1545 UT recheck on groundwave, KZUE is definitely there in Spanish. BTW, Wiki explains that the calls were inherited from a ``zoo`` format on FM, so apparently no significance in Spanish.

1470, Oct 29 at 1351 UT playing ``Wheels``, from N/S bearing, 1352 ``The Morning Mike`` slogan, ``Wake Up, Little Susie``. Per NRC AM Log the fit from direxion and format is oldies KWSL Sioux City IA, and website http://www.1470kwsl.com/main.html clinches Morning Mike (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP MW carrier search Oct 29 from 1247, downward in USB mode on DX-398: 1323, 1125, 1098, 774, 702, 594. Last one a bit off-frequency, or is it a local blip? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
