[IRCA] Domestic MWDX to Enid OK, October 10-16, 2014

--- Begin Message --- 
All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT`]. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E/W longwire as specified

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:

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of USA, unidentified, separated by ======= Within each, they are in frequency order

** OKLAHOMA. 740, Oct 10 at 0143 UT as I am trying to dig out an ID from the off-frequency Mexican, q.v., I can`t help but hear KRMG  mention ``Redskins football in Moore, Oklahoma on 102.3 KRMG``. Redskins = Union High School in Tulsa, of all places, whence we have heard no controversy about such an offensive mascot. See:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1530, Oct 14 at 0129 UT, Mexican music from east/west, no doubt KXTD Wagoner (Tulsa) daytimer again broadcasting illegally long after sunset; yes, 0135 UT after tune, SHVA with ``Qué Buena es tu radio, Qué Buena es tu casa [o caza???], Qué Buena, 15-30 AM``. Evidently the call letters are reserved for ToH IDs only, if even then. Can`t say I`ve ever heard them announced in any language. Dominating frequency vs WCKY and anything else (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1560, Oct 15 at 1859 UT, ``KEBC Del City`` ID and no mention of any translator, into NBC Sportsradio. Last March while in OKC, I had heard it duplicated on 92.9, and so listed in the 2014 NRC AM Log, but that has since changed, with the 92.9 presumably reassigned to another station in the group. I was checking this out for Log editor Wayne Heinen (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, Friday Oct 10 at 1250 UT, KOKB Blackwell with talkshow interviewing State Rep. Cory Williams, Democrat! of Stillwater, about the insane push for allowing guns on campus, opposed by OSU President Burns Hargis, and OU President David Boren, along with all the other university leaders in OK. Has a few choice words for colleague Rep. John Enns, Republican of Enid, who is supporting guns on campus. (I wonder if he`s packing heat in his wheelchair, which may influence his views; he was disabled in a farm accident, not shooting.) Conversation continues past hourtop until a break at 1306 UT. Evidently Williams is a regular guest on this show Friday mornings, not all just stupid sports talk on the Triple-Play stations, with 1020 KOKB Perry and 105.1 originator in Stillwater.

====================

** U S A [and non]. 880, Oct 14 at 1215 UT, after hymn, KHAC live DJ mixing Navajo and English (Dinglish?) with IDs in passing, mentions Jesus Christ, timechex in MDT, temp 26 degrees. Dominant as long as KRVN is nulled. Obviously illegally on 10 kW ND day power yet again from Tse Bonito NM. Interesting to compare with another Indian language, Tarahumara, on neighbor 870 XETAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880, Oct 16 at 1214 UT, KHAC IDs in passing, again announcer preaching Christianity, mixing Navajo and English. As reminded by KAZ, I check the LSB, and yes, not heard, just on USB (plus carrier). If one were tuning thru on LSB only, one would certainly miss it. COL Tse Bonito NM, but primarily for Window Rock, Gallup and the Res. And again obviously on ND day power way before sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 900, Oct 10 at 0138 UT, I`m hearing country music in English looping NNE/SSW, which is Wichita`s direxion. Can it be KSGL, which I have still not been getting more than a trace of in the daytime? Yes, 0140 UT ID sounds like ``Classic Country 90, KSGL``. I thought they were NOStalgia + religious. To be really sure, at 0153 UT, promo for a show Sundays at 10 [am or pm?] definitely on ``KSGL`` and 0157 UT ``Proud to be an American`` song as the Spanish QRM is growing. Program sked 
http://www.ksgl.com/4.html
for weekdays after 8 pm is merely `Music You Remember`.

KSGL is 250 watts day, 28 watts nite, with same direxional pattern of east-west, which is no good for Enid, so I`m lucky to get them at all. October nites are officially 0000-1230 UT (November: 2315-1315 UT) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 930, Oct 14 at 1221 UT with WKY música nulled, another Spanish speaker with 800 numbers concerning derechos humanos en California, presumed KHJ Los Ángeles, but I would still like a more definite ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 1140, Oct 10 at 0135 UT, KRMP OKC is not to be heard, not cheating tonight, and XEMR Monterrey is unusually weak, allowing me instead to copy ``Newsradio 11-40, WRVA``. 50 kW from Richmond VA is seldom heard here with its day & nite figure-8 pattern of NW/SE, far from ideal for here altho not in deepest null.

Southerly conditions are subnormal, with XEMR weakened, altho fading up some at 0156 UT about salvación, but still nullable. I compare to other Regiomontana bigsigs: XEG 1050 is OK but not as strong as usual; and XET 990 is way under CBW Winnipeg, far too unusual but very welcome: CBW is ND, while XET is supposed to be direxional south at nite. 

Just before 0200 UT I`m on 1140 again to hear another ID from WRVA, and after 0200 Fox News sounder, which is their net per NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1140, Oct 16 at 1257 UT, Spanish ad for Frontera Supermarket in Kansas City, Kansas, then ID as ``La Poderosa 11-40`` so not-so-powerful 4 kW KCXL Liberty MO (KC market) is still partly-Spanish. NRC AM Log 2014-2015 lists formats: TLK/NOS/SPT/SS! Hearing grocery ad at first might equally have led to KLTK Centerton AR, fully Spanish and owned? by Mercado Las Américas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1540, Oct 10 at 1248 UT, unmistakable Chinese accent in English of CRI YL announcer, talking about holidays, no problem now as long as KXEL be nulled, so 2.5 kW KGBC Galveston TX, which has sold out to the ChiCom; bits of same thing under KOKC 1520, so 25 kW KYND Cypress TX, both rimshooting Houston. KGBC`s official FCC October sunrise was 1215 UT (November: 1245 UT), but what about KZMP The Metroplex with ESPN Deportes, midway between us? Its Oct FCC sunrise is 1230 UT (Nov: 1300 UT), so should be on day power 32 kW, but it`s tightly direxional east-west, with very little usward. Our real Enid sunrise today was 1234 UT per gaisma.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

===================

610, in previous report [about Mexico unID] I referred to KCSP as in Omaha; make that Kansas City, while Omaha is KXSP on 590. Such confusion was less likely when they were WDAF and WOW (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1300, Oct 16 at 1254 UT, under XEP Juárez, Gounod`s `Ave Maria` is sung, so likely a Catholic station. The only EWTN I find in the NRC AM Log on 1300 is far too far in South Carolina. At the EWTN.com website I can`t find any affiliate lists; Spanish leads to SW only. Ave Maria could be on an English affiliate. A couple of Texans are SS:REL, KKUB Brownfield, and KLAR Laredo. Probably too late for WNQM Nashville which is part Spanish, and would be on 50 kW ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2660+, Oct 16 at 1234 UT, JBA carrier, slightly on hi side compared to 1660 station, suspected KGLD Tyler TX, 2 x 1330 as IDed years ago after much effort, but will be tough to get anything definite again. Is licensed for 1000 day, 500 PSRA, and 77 watts at night, all non-direxional. So in Oct, day power span would be at 1230-2345 UT, making 1230+ UT and +2345 UT the best chances to DX it, assuming they are compliant (November: 1245-2315). BTW, KGLD was the original call of ch 11 in Garden City before transformed into the Kansas State Network sequence as KSNG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
