Greetings from wind-blown Oklahoma,
Since I don't weigh all that much, I better stay indoors today. The wind is blowing like ya wouldn't believe here. Awso, but I found the perfect pasa tiempo for blustery times like this. Tnx to Gary Wilt who must have been good luck for me in logging this first station below: (Times/dates listed in UTC) All hrd on the Eton E-100 slider. 590, R. Musical, Santa Clara, VC, Cuba, 1010-1026, 12/3/08, clscl instr and choral mx, dissonant mx at first which later came together more harmoniously thank goodness, ID W 1016. 580, KJMJ, Alexandria, LA, 2253-2302, 12/2, Hrd in the null of WIBW (Topeka, KS) w/ religious pgm'g. ID'd as "Radio Maria." This is a rel network I'd never hrd of until last evening. 550, KRAI, Craig, CO, 2331-2350, 12/2, Tnx to Richard Allen's tip a while back. C&W mx and some ads mentioning Craig, Colorado. 1060, WQMV, Waverly, TN, 0205-0230, 12/3, THANKS to Richard's tip yesterday, this sta was heard here w/ a decent signal. "Music from the 60's, WQMV." Listed as only 4 watts night power. I wonder abt the accuracy of that since they were hrd so solidly here in OK. 1100, KNZZ, Grand Junction, CO, 1427, 12/3, ads promoting Christmas shopping in that area of CO, W ancr discussed precautionary measures for dealing with or preventing an avalanch. Not a new station below, but I want to make mention of this one. 1600, KRVA, Cockrell Hill, TX, 1422, 12/3, booming signal this morning w/ chatter in what sounded like Vietnamese although I can't say for sure. I'm really rusty on trying to identify East Asian languages. I'm curious if any of you guys have hrd this one before. It really shocked me the first time I logged it. I'll shut up. 73's Gents, Kirk Allen Ponca City, OK |

Congratulation on the new stations logged Kirk. Yes it was a windy
day, which resulted in a long power outage here. But it was a good day for daytime DX of stations in Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas. The best I've encountered since the 1980's. Here are my logging for the 24-hours from 2200 UTC on 12/2/08: 1230 WHIR Danville KY 2302 UTC 12/2/08 SRF-T615 1230 KFPW Fort Smith AR 2306 UTC 12/2/08 E100 1230 KKPC Pueblo CO 2333 UTC 12/2/08 E100 1270 KFLC Fort Worth TX 0054 UTC 12/3/08 E100 1280 XEAW Monterrey NL MEX 0103 UTC 12/3/08 E100 680 KKYX San Antonio TX 1320 UTC 12/3/08 SRF-T615 710 KEEL Shreveport LA 1330 UTC 12/3/08 SRF-T615 810 KSWV Santa Fe NM 1407 UTC 12/3/08 SRF-T615 1250 KBRF Fergus Falls MN 1523 UTC SRF-T615 1270 KNWC Sioux Falls SD 1554 UTC 12/3/08 E100 1350 WCMP Pine City MN 1625 UTC 12/3/08 E100 1100 WZFG Dilworth MN 1723 UTC 12/3/08 E100 Heard a station on 880 kHz signing off in English at 2215 UTC (1715 EST), 12/2/08. I didn't catch the full call sign, but it began with the letters "WR". I found a Spanish language station WRRZ, Clinton NC, signs off at 2215. However, it might be WRFD, Columbus- Worthington OH, but I don't when they close down for the day. Can anyone help? After six straight days of hearing JOAB 594 at local sunrise, the frequency was silent this morning. All that was audible were hets on 783 and 972 kHz and they were silent by 1200 UTC. Heard Glas Hrvatske 1134 at 0223 12/3/08, but didn't listen long because of the KMOX HD noise. Also, heard the carrier on 1521 kHz until it went silent at 0259:45 UTC. I hope everyone has a good DXing night. Richard Allen 36°22'51"N / 97°26'35"W (near Perry OK) |

KRVA usually dominates 1600 kHz here at night. I'm afraid once I logged it I've avoided it. Sometimes it's heard during the day QRMing KUSH in Cushing. Other than Japanese and Chinese, I'm terrible at identifying Asian languages. The only way I know a language is from South Asian is because of the accens. Also, my old ears are playing out.

---Richard:
Your day time catches from Minnesota and South Dakota in the upper half of the band are amazing!I have caught both of those states on day time dx while i was in Oklahoma.But, they were in the lower half of the band.I think your catches on the upper half of the band could have been residual sky wave propagation.During late fall and early winter, i am not sure that the d layer ever fully ionizes.This might mean less absorbtion and allow some weak sky wave to sneak through.Any comments on this from anyone ?

with the power off. After I thought about it I decided I wouldn't. I'd find out how many stations I can't hear due to high noise levels and get frustrated because as an apartment dweller there's not much I can do about it. 73 --- In ultralightdx@..., "bbwrwy" <richarda@...> wrote:
