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: 
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page37

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside or randomwire; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified

** MEXICO [and non]. 580, Aug 17 at 0541, ranchera music is holding its own against WIBW Topeka, presumed XEMU Piedras Negras, and as the two are not exactly opposite, by carefully positioning the DX-398 I can null or minimize the WIBW signal without totally nulling the other one. Live DJ with timecheck, but no ID, before WIBW regains (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521.0, Aug 19 at 0240, carrier hetting KOKC OKC, which has got to be the 2-megawatt BSKSA Duba transmitter in the NW corner, the #1 beacon for trans-Atlantic MW DX conditions; WRTH shows sked is 15-03 UT, which seems strange, except they obviously find it worth running only during night hours. 

>From mid-August, the ``season`` is supposedly back for us. Can`t pull any audio on 1521 or detect anything on 1566 or 1512 (Glenn Hauser, OK, NRD-545, ALA-1530S [but I can also hear the 1521/1520 het merely on the DX-398 with ferrite], WORLD OF RADIO 1787, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

The WRTH has listed Duba for a long time on 594 kHz with 2 megawatts on air at 0300-1500. Could this be the daytime frequency [better groundwave propagation] and 1521 kHz the nighttime frequency 1500-0300 [better skywave propagation]? 
(Noel R.Green (NW England), Aug 20, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) So it seems (gh)
