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 period 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
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:

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,Âunidentified [if any], separated by ======= Within each, they are in frequency order
** OKLAHOMA. 780, July 21 at 1105 UT, open carrier is already on from KSPI Stillwater, 250 watt daytimer, which could start programming in July at 1115 UT (August: 1145 UT) but normally does not until 1200 UT. A Mexican is under, probably XESFT, and nothing from WBBM already.
BTW, looking thru their History Cards at FCC AM Query, in 1953y KSPI had a CP to change to fulltime on 1490 kHz, but relinquished it. Original CP in 1946y was for 840 kHz, but soon changed to 780. A 70-year-old station which never wanted to be more than a 250-watt daytimer (except they did add a significant FM on 93.9/93.7) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, July 21 at 0559 UT, C&W music from KGYN Guymon, VG dominating frequency, so once again is in a protracted period of leaving ND 10 kW day power on at night instead of protecting Philly (and Enid). Ditto at next check pre-sunrise at 1100 UT, ID as ``KGYN, Guymon-Liberal, a Steckline Communications Station``, then dead air (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
==========
** U S A. 570, July 21 at 0545 UT, Fox Sports Radio is good dominating frequency from WSW. As previously IDed must be KWML Las Cruces NM, and on 5 kW ND day power instead of legal 155 watts night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1680, July 20 at 0217 UT, ``More variety, more music, 99.7 MY-FM`` which is the new source and slogan for 1680 KRJO Monroe LA. The WTFDA FM Database reveals that 99.7 is a mere 250-watt translator, K259CU, but still gives an old slogan ``Classic Country 1680``. Tail wagging the dog. Seems like the 10/1 kW signal is not as good as it used to be; faded up, and then down as a talk station overtook, presumably WPRR in Michigan.
How they get ``My`` out of K259CU is beyond me; shouldn`t it be ``See You on the Radio``?? Seriously, has anyone ever found a translator callsign (assigned sequentially) actually leading to or coordinating with a station slogan?
As in DXLD 16-28: ``1680 KRJO drops classic hits --- This item from DX-midAMerica: 1680 KRJO*LA Monroe switches to Hot AC in // with 99.7 FM K259CU Monroe. New website http://997myfm.com/ Tosses Cl hits. Best wishes (Barry :-) Davies, Carlisle UK, July 15, MWCircle yg via DXLD)``
On the website we can find no mention of the existence of 1680 KRJO, even tho it is the ``primary`` station. At least this combo has programming distinct from some other FM station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Very cursory check for live coverage of the Republican National Unconvention, July 20 circa 0219 UT. This was just after a speech by Adam Trump. 1520 KOKC had it from CBS. 88.1 KWOU had it from NPR (but not KOSU --- gotta stick with that Crazy Spy after 7 pm). On down MW, 1200 WOAI had it; 1120 KMOX, but not // KOKC; 1110 KFAB from Fox News Radio; 560 KWTO was about it, during the Jim Bohannon Show. Many other major stations stuck with stupid ballgames or regular talkshows. Of course, if they were breaking for commercial when I went by, would have missed it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
