[IRCA] MW DX from Enid OK, April 21-26, 2012

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
 
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

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:

** MEXICO. 1050, April 26 at 1212, XEG with `El Mañanero` program from Monterrey NL, ``The morning man``, but YL DJ voice is not manly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1020, April 22 at 1238 UT, dead air/open carrier from nearby KOKP Perry, with Spanish from Nebraska audible underneath, especially with KOKP nulled. Sister station KOKB 1580, Blackwell, also seems deadairish at 1248, with 2 or 3 other stations still skywaving in almost an hour after sunrise. I had also noticed 1020 sometime during the afternoon April 21 on caradio with deadair. At 1532 UT April 22: yes, both 1020 and 1580 are still unmodulated! Maybe they will come to life if there is a stupid ballgame Sunday afternoon? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1070, April 26 before 1230 UT, KLIO Wichita KS is still duplicating talkshow from KQAM 1480, joint ID in passing, but at 1239 recheck, now back to music, local talkover at 1243 with time & temp, True Oldies 1070 slogan; see also 1660 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1290, April 26 at 1220 UT, traffic report including street numbers in the 100s, so not a small city, from ``K-car``, get it? KKAR Omaha NE. 5/5 kW station has CP for 50/5, says NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, April 26 at 1226 UT, Radio Luz program promo in Spanish. Must be KTNO The Metroplex, TX, no longer Radio Vida. Website is under reconstruxion, http://www.ktnoam.com/ There are only three Mexicans on this frequency, none nearby (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1580, April 26 at 1230 UT in KOKB OK null, ``RCN News``, about Denver, announced as duplicated on 1060 Longmont, so it`s KREL Colorado Springs on the Radio Colorado Network. Just went to 10 kW day power, ex-140 W night, at 1230 in April, 1145 UT in May. KLMO 1060 is the originator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1660, April 26 at 1232 UT, True Oldies jingle, ``Baby-Love``. We no longer have to wonder which ESPN station we are hearing or echoing on 1660, just TX, as KQWB West Fargo ND has flipped to this. And came in handy since KLIO 1070 Wichita KS was still duplicating talkshow from KQAM 1480 during previous semihour, altho by 1239 KQWB has faded, and KLIO is back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

UNIDENTIFIED. 1320, April 26 at 1224 UT, Spanish from N/S, 7:24 TC, kids` birthdays. Accent maybe border-influenced rather than pure Mexican, so likely XECPN Piedras Negras, Coahuila; the only other possibility around here in NRC AM Log is KRDD Roswell NM. Soon with Chinese CCI, no doubt KXYZ Houston TX, which NRC AM Log says is SS/ETHnic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
