** U S A. 7489.88 approx., UT Sat Jan 31 at 0100, `Allan Weiner Worldwide` on WBCQ and 31 seconds delayed on 5109.81 approx., but 9330 is not on (nor 15420). I listen during the next half hour and note the following from what he says, first confirming my observations of better signals on 7490v and 5110v: the ``new 7490 signal is super-modulated at widest bandwidth``; 5110 is also ``high-fidelitigh``, which is another way of saying no longer compatible USB only, ``as we rebuild our main exciter``. So I guess these are not totally new transmitters?
Allan in a sad mood also goes on to lament people who have been ``lost`` in the past year: Jim Cedarstrom of Money Talks, but his heirs continue the program with some reruns; Ed Bolton, in late November/early December for ``evil and bad reasons``. Earlier, Michael Ketter almost 10 years ago; Allan`s wife Jennifer a year and a half ago; Bill Cooper.
Video from (Florida) studio is also being webcast via U-screen, and Dr Becker called to say it`s also via http://wbcq.tv Allan says he is not goofing off in Florida, but now you can run a radio station from anywhere with a smart phone and that is what he does. Just look at the weather in Monticello by searching on ZIP 04760! Kudos to his staff back in Maine who keep it going, for not much pay as ``all`` income goes to the electric power company, taxes, etc.
Also at the SW site are MW & FM stations. WBCQ FM 94.7 is ``Kix FM``, with classic country not from a syndicator but programmed by Jason & Tom. Says in 1981 he and first wife Sarah had owned WOZI 101.7 in Presque Isle, how as a rocker he didn`t know anything about country but was persuaded to put such a format on it.
Later a caller wanted to supply a program on cassette tape, but Allan said that`s not possible any longer, as everything has to be on a computer audio file; then relented, that if really necessary, they`d take a tape and then convert it. Also could one do a monthly show instead of weekly? Yes, but subject to time being sold to a weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505.36 approx., Jan 31 at 0207, WRNO is on with ID interrupting preacher, and OK modulation but always off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Jan 30 at 1913 UT, only 41 minutes after local mean noon, I find a good & steady signal from WGN 720. Winter daytime skywave is in play. I`m driving away from neighborhood and household noise sources, so in central Enid I keep driving until pervasive line noise and plasma screens are minimal, parking first by a warehouse near the intersexion of Walnut & Jefferson. No DFing on the caradio with vertical whip. Here`s what I log in the next quarter-hour:
720, Jan 30 at 1913 UT, good & steady signal from WGN Chicago, almost 700 miles. Under very quiet conditions even in the summer I can sometimes pull it by groundwave, but this is much stronger. Talkhost is discussing wings and football games, mentions Órion Samuelson in passing.
710, Jan 30 at 1914 UT, Rush with some CCI and a low audible het! Surely the latter is not from the part-time off-frequency Chihuahuan? Rush is KGNC Amarillo, normal dominant on GW, not KCMO Kansas City which is in Dave Ramsey.
670, Jan 30 at 1915 UT, CCI between sports talk and another station. Sports must be WSCR Chicago, but as also on rare groundwave it`s considerably weaker than WGN. Other station is KLTT Denver which normally reaches here barely on GW.
(WBBM 780 and WLS 890 are blocked by Okies and 670 is bothered by splash from 640 Moore. BTW, I keep mistyping its call: once recently as KWPM as in Moore, but it`s really KWPN as in Norman; or since it`s a Sports Animal, ``We Program Nonsense``!)
570, Jan 30 at 1916 UT, WNAX ID and Accuweather for Yankton SD, clearly audible under KLIF Dallas. WNAX is always there on GW, but skywave may be helping a bit now. SAH counted as 212 per minute or 3.53 Hz.
760, Jan 30 at 1917, KCCV Overland Park/Kansas City religion has unID CCI. Could it be 50 kW non-direxional WJR Detroit? 50 kW KKZN Thornton (Denver) is half as far, but day pattern westward, null eastward, and rare here at any time. Arkansas station unlikely on GW, poor conductivity that way.
850, Jan 30 at 1918 UT, Rush. That would be KOA Denver, which perhttp://www.850koa.com/cc-common/rushlimbaugh/
just started airing him live this month with the proviso that he will be pre-empted for any sillyballgames on weekday afternoons. KOA can barely reach here on GW but better now, and no sign of the Texan.
1000, Jan 30 at 1919 UT, KTOK OKC, talker is strong as usual, but I can hear something under it, unusual. Since Chicago is in on 670 & 720, I suspect WMVP, which has a lopsided day pattern favoring east, but considerable west too. There`s nothing on 1000 between here and Chicago. Sioux Falls beams NW away from us.
1060, Jan 30 at 1919 UT, station in English with fast SAH from another. Probably KIJN Farwell TX the off-frequency one so obvious at night, and KRCN Denver. KIJN could be GW, but KRCN may need skywave.
1100, Jan 30 at 1920 UT, Rush. Certainly not my closest, KKLL Webb City (Joplin) MO which is religious and barely reaches on GW. NRC AM Log shows him on three 50 kW ND stations: WTAM Cleveland OH, KNZZ Grand Junxion CO, and WZFG Dilworth MN (Fargo). My first choice would be WTAM, city to city 1509 km or 938 miles. All three stations` websites confirm Rush still on live, the other two with super-patriotic hype branding.
1120, Jan 30 at 1921 UT, KEOR Tulsa/Catoosa/Sperry is *still* open carrier dead air, but KMOX St Louis can be heard under it. That takes skywave over poor-conductivity Ozarx.
As I tune up the band, encounter some heavy noise on 1200, so move a few blox to another location near the intersexion of Maple & Madison:
1360, Jan 30 at 1924 UT, EWTN station with a low audible het I heard before at Vance, so seems it`s really there, indicating one of: KPHN El Dorado KS, or KDJW Amarillo TX is considerably off-frequency. If I could get enough signal on the DX-398, I could determine which, by BFO and DFing. May have to do it around SRS or SSS.
1450, Jan 30 at 1925 UT, ``your musical portfolio, live and in color, KGFF``. There`s a unique slogan from Shawnee OK groundwave. Quite a feat, since I thought AM radio was only in black & white. Woodward`s KSIW is about the same distance, and you never know which one or both will be in, but KGFF wins at the moment.
1540, Jan 30 at 1925 UT, ``1540 KXEL`` ID from Waterloo IA, poor with SAH, but definitely there by skywave already, during 50 kW ND pattern. Otherstation probably Kansas.
1690, Jan 30 at 1927 UT, sounds like Disney music, and YL announcer at 1928 UT giving a phone number including 7056. Would that be R. Disney 800 number? It`s not the individual phone of KDDZ Arvada CO as in NRC AM Log, nor would I expect talker WVON Chicago to be doing this unless the music was just a break/liner.
Aha, finally found on R. Disney website this: ``Radio Disney offers several forms of contest / sweepstakes: Call-In: The Radio Disney toll - free phone number for call - in entries is 1 - 877 - 870 - 5678. Changes to the toll - free number will be announced on - air.`` So it`s KDDZ which hasn`t been sold yet. Of course, it has to be skywave at this daypart and distance at top end.
I could have done better at a quieter rural location. If I can pull away, I should go out and try that tomorrow a little earlier during the noon hour, as winter midday skywave will soon be a pastthing, with solar zenith advancing degree by degree empowering D-layer absorption (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 860, UT Sat Jan 31 at 0156 UT, from Pittsburg KS, KKOW ID during silly ballgame, during which its signal has been unreasonably strong at night. So suspect an HSFB STA is in effect, 10 kW ND, instead of 5 kW direxional; we do get it at night on the broad SW pattern away from Toronto, but this is really dominant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 870, Jan 31 at 0140 UT in WWL null, Vietnamese and a SAH, so 1 kW direxional daytimer KFJZ Fort Worth is on way late again. It peaks at 0148 UT such that I can hear it without even nulling WWL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 880, Jan 31 at 0133 UT I have nulled KRVN Lexington NE to find music and announcements in Spanish, so keep checking this frequency, but no more of that; KRVN is covering a sillyballgame involving the Cozad Cornhuskers.
Instead in KRVN null at 0152 UT a song in English, ``What a wonderful time of the year`` left over from Xmas; suspect KHAC Tse Bonito NM, so I compare USB to LSB on the DX-398, and yes, it`s not on LSB; network news headlines at 0155, also habitual of KHAC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Jan 31 at 0133 with KRVN nulled, a Spanish station after music announcing ``más tropical, más variedad``. Of the Mexicans, the closest format match in the IRCA Mexican log is XEEM in Rio Verde, San Luís Potosí. However, it and KRVN are close to opposite direxions from here. Anyhow, I asked them on their contact form,http://www.radiomasem.com/contacto.html
``Esta noche del viernes escuchaba en 880 a una emisora con música y a las 7:33 hora del centro, dijeron ``Más tropical, Más variedad". Quisiera saber si es un reclamo de XEEM?``
Not much more of this in KRVN null, with KHAC taking over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 960, Jan 31 at 0130 UT, as local KGWA is covering a silly ballgame, I find I can null it very precisely with the DX-398 flat on an easel, to hear a musical station also making a fast SAH. Slow romantic song by YL in English, maybe Celine Dion but not her titanic hit; 0132 & 0137 segúes, classic rock, all at slow pace. KGWA SBG includes long pauses which help; must not be much of a crowd at the game. I hope for an ID at 0200 UT from the understation, but it`s XEK in Spanish: see MEXICO, immediately followed by a PSA for veterans by American Legion in English: hard to believe it was from the same station, altho possibly XEK was playing tunes in English like some Mexicans do (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
