{but I have been getting error messages there lately}

Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but may include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness.

** OKLAHOMA. Except for a split-second glitch, we haven`t yet lost
power in this part of Enid, unlike 4 to 6 thousand other OG&E
customers; but circa 2300 UT Oct 27, my main 100-foot longwire antenna
for the R75 is broken and on the ground under tree debris felled by
severe ice storm. With a lot of icing on it, had been supported by
three trees in a row; and before that the last segment was already
down; once warmed up and cleared, fixing it or replacing it is not a
very big job, but I am so sad for our poor trees! Meanwhile I can
still try to use it, or switch to ``indoor longwire`` strung around
the ceilings of two rooms. A third wave of freezing rain is on the way
from El Paso (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 332-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0621, ND beacon IC, 400
watts from Wichita - Picnic, Kansas [both with ICs in them!], which I
had not heard in weeks and feared off the air. Even now it`s JBA under
dash and QT, 1000 watts from Thunder Bay, Ontario, which had been the
only 332 to be heard among many (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0620 UT, my shortened and lowered
unrepaired longwire still manages to inpull dash and YLD, which is
1000 watt ND beacon from Chapleau, Ontario.

Also 413-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0624, dash and YHD, 250 watts in Dryden,
Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 426-MCW kHz, Oct 27 at 0625 UT, JBA NDB ID as IZS, which is
25 watts from Montezuma, Georgia, SW of Warner Robins and Perry, right
next to Oglethorpe. Nothing else unusual LW logged vs the noise level
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 840, WHAS Louisville KY to be off the air again for
tower maintenance from 0400 UT Oct 27: tnx to tip from Chris Gay, KU4A
to the WOR iog, which quickly spread to MW-only DX groups:

``I just learned that 840 WHAS will go off the air again tonight for
tower maintenance starting at midnight EDT (0400Z). The length of the
outage was not announced.``

At 0402 I tune in to find WHAS still on during Kentucky news, but
after asserting ``broadcasting live 24/7``, ha2, cuts off at 0405.7*
--- but back on in a few seconds, that was quick! During weather from
WLKY-TV; why not WHAS-TV??, 0406 into weird talkshow, `Ground Zero`
about ``shadow archetypes, lurkers showing up at 3 am``.

Recheck at 0425 now WHAS is off, and the only signals I am getting
loop SE/NW, but with splash from 850 KOA: music, 0428 Spanish? No sign
from the south of KVJY Pharr in the RGV of TX, U4 5/1 kW, also Spanish
which is normally the #1 competitor to WHAS. Main signal is surely 10
kW CMHW in Santa Clara, Cuba, but has a 1.1 Hz SAH, which could be the
other further 1 kW Cuban, CMKC, R. Revoluci?n, Palma Soriano, Santiago
province; or some other LA. Not rechecked until 0535, WHAS still off,
some fading faster SAH carriers on E-W longwire, but on DX-398, music
with slow SAH dominant from SE. 0600 still that with no ID break, but
*0601 WHAS cuts back on JIP news; 0615 check it`s off again. One more
check before I quit, WHAS off and on at 0632*-*0633 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 870, Oct 28 at 2353 UT, WWL New Orleans still has plenty of
time for commercials as the eye of Hurricane Zeta is right over the
city. Eventually gets back to coverage, callers, and reports from
parish sheriff(s). 0000 Oct 29 into CBS News leading with a report
from the same WWL guy; some fades vs something hetting in its null.
Then locally explains the modified jock schedule overnight, including
this one coming back at 6 am [CDT] -- that is apparently his normal
shift as he keeps saying ``good morning`` now and swears at himself
for sodoing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Oct 28 at 2356 UT, silly sports talk from WKY OKC
keeps hiccuping, modulation dropping out about once a second; with BFO
I can tell the carrier is also dropping off, timed at the rate of
about 48/minute until it stop doing that (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 362-MCW kHz, Oct 19 at 0611 UT, dash and SB, 500
watt NDB at Greater Sudbury, Ont. I was tuned to 363-USB; yes, on the
plus side, and simulhearing AA which is really on 365-MCW, 100 watts
from Fargo - Harwood, North Dakota (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407-MCW kHz, Oct 19 at 0606 UT, ND beacon IL which is 25
watts from wILmington, Ohio, between Cincinnati and Columbus. I was
tuned to 405-USB. There are also two other ILs in other wILmingtons,
DE and NC, on other frequencies, and another in kILeen, Texas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. I`m trying out the temporary until Oct 25 KiwiSDR
that Bill Whitacre has set up in Lubec, which is on the coast in the
SE corner of Maine, a hot spot for trans-Atlantic MW DX. There is *too
much*, audio almost every 9 kHz; where are the JBA carriers I can
sweep across in only 5 minutes? Contrary to KiwiSDR boilerplate, this
one does not work on Firefox, but does work on IE. I find it already
set up at 9 kHz intervals, which can be toggled to 10; but above 1600
it switches to 5-kHz steps, strange. I`m not counting countries from
here or anywhere, so some assumptions without consequences follow, but
open to revision. LSS at Lubec today: 2135 UT, so the DX should have
been in a lot earlier. This is off-and-on for less than a sesquihour,
Oct 19 from 2103, in chrono order, reference WRTH listings, u.o.s.:

{see my International/Mexican report; only two
domestic items excerpted here:}

1450, at 2131, as I am tuning past 1449, can`t miss an ID for ``CFAB
1450 AM`` which is U1 1/1 kW Windsor, Nova Scotia, in the centre
between Dartmouth and Wolfville, CANADA.

1530, at 2157, I`m standing by to hear even a trace of Yankee Doodle,
from the VOA Pinheira, SAO TOME 2200 sign-off, as often recommended by
Mark Connelly, but no luck. However, a jumble of weak signals is
suddenly eclipsed by one station from *2159, ID as WVBF and on FM
99.7, AC (780) phone fits for Boston-suburban area ring as this is
from Middleborough Center, Massachusetts; and into reading anti-Trump
editorial from Bloomberg News. The trouble is, 2200 UT is FCC October
local sunset for WVBF [November: 2130] when it is supposed to drop
from 940 watts ND critical hours to FOUR WATTS NIGHT power. Day power
is 5 kW, both direxional broadly toward the northeast, i.e. Lubec.
Instead they have powered *up*! Anyhow, seems like an interesting
station, per NRC AM Log, ``Hometown Talk Radio``, address in Taunton
MA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 218-MCW kHz, Oct 15 at 0603 UT, NDB dash and RL, which is
980 watts from Red Lake, Ontario.

269-MCW kHz, Oct 15 at 0601 UT, NDB dash and UDE, which is 50 watts
from Delta, Manitoba.

274-MCW kHz, Oct 15 at 0600 UT, ND beacon dash and YPM, 25 watts from
Pikangikum, Ontario, which DXinfocentre.com marx as decommissioned --
but not, it`s back! Where`s that?

http://www.ifna.ca/article/pikangikum-116.asp

``Overview --- Pikangikum First Nation is located on Pikangikum Lake,
approximately 100 km northwest of Red Lake, Ontario. It is
approximately 15 minutes by plane from Red Lake to Pikangikum.
Pikangikum is one of the largest First Nation communities in Northern
Ontario with the highest on-reserve population in Northern Ontario,
approximately 2,300. An estimated 75% of the population is under
twenty-five years of age... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0614 UT, ND beacon dash and WG,
which is 1000 watts from WinnipeG, Manitoba, *much* stronger than the
others now and often:

250-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0613 UT, ND beacon dash and FO, which is 1600
watts from Flin Flon, Manitoba. ``Flin Flon shares the distinction of
being named after a character in an adventure novel with Tarzana,
California.`` --- bing. 2066 km = 1284 statute miles from Enid.

258-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0612 UT, ND beacon dash and ZSJ which is 1000
watts from Sandy Lake, Ontario, not South Africa. I was tuned to
257-USB. Wikipedia:

``Sandy Lake First Nation (or Negaw-zaaga'igan Nitam-Anishinaabe,
Oji-Cree: ᓀᑲᣞ ᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ ᓂᑕᒼ ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯ) is an independent Oji-Cree First
Nations band government. The First Nations community, in the west part
of Northern Ontario, is located in the Kenora District, 227 km (141
mi) northeast of Red Lake, Ontario.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 223-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0625 UT, dash and YYW, 1000-watt ND
beacon at Armstrong, Ontario. Tuned to 222-USB.

290-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0629 UT, dash and QR, 100-watt NDB at Regina,
Saskatchewan. Tuned to 289-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See USA also

** U S A. 293-MCW kHz, Oct 16 at 0643 UT, common FBY, 25 watts from
Fairbury, Nebraska, with QRM from another NDB at same pitch, hard to
separate, until their slightly different periods unoverlap them, UI:
which is 30 watts from QUIncy, Illinois, where they pronounce it
Quinsy instead of Quinzy as in Mass. Just in time before UI fades out
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 341-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0112 UT, ND beacon DIN, underneath
local EI Enid. DIN is 25 watts from Sherman-DenIsoN, Texas, just
across in Baja Oclajoma. Normally I hear OIN in Oberlin, Kansas,
instead. This is on different receiver and antenna than on my ~06 UT
beacon searches so maybe that explain it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 408-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0643 UT, JDM, 25-watt NDB at Colby -
Wheatfield, Kansas. One wonders how a call with no connexion to the
listed location came about? So I try searching on JDM Colby, finding
``Colby Howard Lands at JD Motorsports For Majority of 2020 ``
about NASCAR - that`s a stretch! Further down are linx to JDM as
NAVAID, but no call significance. Even further down, there is a JDM
Enterprises, LLC, in Colby among 55 other places:

but what does it do? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Oct 13 at 0610 UT, amid TA carrier search including one
on 882, I notice that KRVN Lexington, Nebraska is still carrying Jim
Bohannon during this hour, despite missing from his website
station-finder, as has just appeared in NRC DX News (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1710, Oct 13 at 0618 UT, JBA talk at the end of my TA
carrier search, probably the Hudson County NJ TIS.

BTW, I wonder what happened to that religious pirate in B?ton Rouge on
1690? Not heard since sometime last year. Website emphasizes streaming
of radio and TV but still claims 1690 toward the bottom of this page:

500-watt NDB from Matagami, Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 317-MCW kHz, Oct 10 at 0620 UT, dash and VC, ND beacon 1000
watts from La Ronge, Saskatchewan, which is toward the end of
civilization beyond the 55th parallel.

328-MCW kHz, Oct 10 at 0621 UT, dash and YTL, NDB 1000 watts from Big
Trout Lake, Ontario, in the remote northwest, roughly 54 N/90 W, 580
km N of Thunder Bay:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 332-MCW kHz, Oct 8 at 0618, dash and QT, 1000
watts strong NDB from Thunder Bay, Ontario, but nothing heard from
nearby 400-watt IC in Wichita, Kansas. See also CANADA [and non]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 338-MCW kHz, Oct 7 at 0613, ND beacon RYN, which is 400
watts from Tucson - Ryan, Arizona; mixing with OIN, Oberlin KS from
341. RYN a new one here.

356-MCW kHz, Oct 7 at 0612, ND beacon ODX, which is 25 watts from Ord,
Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 351-MCW kHz, Oct 8 at 0615, dash and YKQ,
500-watt ND Beacon from Fort Rupert - Waskaganish, Quebec. Axually I
was tuned to 350-USB for my nearby RG in OKC, and where I was also
hearing mixed in LI, 400 watts from Little Rock, Arkansas, which is
really on 353; but not its often companion, IN from International
Falls, Minnesota. See also USA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, Oct 6 at 0638 UT, ND beacon CA, which is 25
watts from Newton - Harvs, Kansas.

Also tuned to 395-USB simulhearing JE, which is really on 397-MCW kHz,
25 watts from Jefferson City, Missouri (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0040, NDB ULS, which is 25 watts from
Ulysses KS; surprisingly good signal, maybe sunsetskip enhanced?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 414-MCW kHz, Oct 6 at 0637 UT, ND beacon ATS, which is 25
watts from Artesia, New Mexico. I was tuned to 412-USB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420-MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 0622 UT, ND beacon FQ, fading out;
it`s 25 watts from Fairmont, Minnesota, which is right next to Iowa at
the center of the southern border between Albert Lea and Worthington.
I was tuned to 418-USB.

379-MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 0625 UT, ND beacon DL, which is 50 watts from
Duluth -- Pike Lake, Minnesota. Tuned to 377-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 475.2-MCW kHz, Oct 6 at 0635 UT, WA4SZE BEACON is on and in;
seems reliable now from Manchester TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

475.2-MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0038, WA4SZE beacon at WWRB TN site is indeed
JBA with extremely slow CW ID. I know that other hams were complaining
long ago about this eating up so much of the 7-kHz-wide 630-m band

Guard marine weather from two simulstations clashing, different
content by same synthYL voice in English. Per

None of the six stations in this region is scheduled to start anytime
between 0437 and 0737; what a surfeit. BTW, archive search shows this

Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness.

** U S A. 344-MCW kHz, Oct 3 at 0638 UT, ND beacon JL, which is 25
watts from Joplin MO --- but I was tuned to 341-USB where it`s mixing
with local EI Enid, and OIN Oberlin KS; never noted JL before on
either frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 363-MCW kHz, Oct 4 at 0623 UT, ND beacon SA is JBA. But
none such listed at dxinfocentre or classaxe on any frequency 362 thru
365 kHz. Possibly something miskeyed as certainly can happen? There
are 2-letter calls ending in A on 365: AA in Fargo ND, and JA in Jaxon
MS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 410-MCW kHz, Sept 29 at 0646 UT, ND beacon BA, which is 25
watts from Columbus - Clifford, Indiana. I was tuned to 408-USB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475-CW kHz, Sept 29 at 0650 UT, Dave Frantz`s BEACON at WWRB
Manchester TN, very slow Morse loop starts out WWW rather than VVV,
WA4SZE, also with COM. Fades down before can copy it all. This is the
recent ``630-meter`` ham band, only 472-479 kHz and secondary to
maritime, as explained at
http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-propose...and-630-meters
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475.4-MCW kHz, Sept 30 at 0614 UT, WA4SZE, ham beacon by
Dave Frantz at WWRB, Manchester TN, weak but at some peaks appears to
be with carrier A2 and not straight CW A1; measured with difficulty
due to other carriers in the area amid the 7-kHz-wide ``630m band``,
maybe other hams, including one momentary very strong spoiler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 475.2 kHz, Oct 1 at 0624, looking for WA4SZE ham beacon,
but am hearing seemingly random CW but in repeating loop including 6X
which stands out; other letters, lots of A, E, T, N (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 475.2-MCW kHz, Oct 2, 0552 UT, I can copy the full very
slow Morse ID without much fading: ``WWW WA4SZE COM WA4SZE / BEACON``
Is that meant to refer to a website? No dots or slants, but yes! Enter
that and it morphs to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-VqtNY8vpw
which is a 10+year-old 10-minute audiovideo headed thus:
``Navigation in the 1940s: The Four Course Radio Range
28,117 views •Apr 9, 2010 AirlineTransportComm 49 subscribers``
ATC is Dave WWRB Frantz`s major company. It`s not pure A1 CW but with
other confusing carriers, I guess A2 MCW. There is also suspicious
fast-clicking QRM only across the 630m band, roughly 465-483 kHz, not
local? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. {political remark censored from this forum only} debate with VP Biden,
Sept 30 at 0142 UT, I make a quick scan of major MW signals and find
quite a few of them carrying it, never synchronized with a TV channel
I am comparing it to, but with some notable exceptions besides music,
or sports-format outlets which could not be expected to cover this
game. IDs are assumed from usual dominators:

International MWDX to Enid OK, January 18-24, 2021

Note: far too belatedly, I am retiring the ``Mostly Mexican`` headers. I retained it
merely to keep this all in one thread. It seems most of my Mexican MWDX occurs
during the autumn months and certainly none lately.

NOTE: On January 19 I successfully uploaded to the above forum all? the MWDX
reports which had been missed since September. However, I understand that
the entire forum is in danger of deletion due to lack of software support updates.

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx:
mostly DX-398 with internal antenna

inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S;
Nissan stock caradio as specified;
ICR-75 with 100-foot E-W longwire.

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 19 at
0334-0340 UT when K-index is 3 so not expecting much, but, beyond the
high local noise level at lowband: 639(2 with slow SAH of 108/minute =
1.8 Hz), *684(2), 693, *774(2), 837(2 slow), 882, 891, 909, 1017,
1044(2), *1053, 1107, 1215, 1224, 1296(2), 1305(3), 1665(?). * =
strongest. As for the SAH on 639, mwoffsets shows two of the RNE Spain
synchros are/were 1.8 Hz apart, but not including the big one of 300
kW at La Coru?a (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 20 at 0742, JBA carrier but stronger than
837 and several other TA carriers still audible. This one surely R.
Kiribati, which has often been absent around this time; as there is
nothing more than 3 kW from W Europe = Ireland; 20/50 kW from Mideast
but too late for them, while it`s long after sunset in east Kiribati.
See also UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 20 at 0732:

774, 711 but none lower above the high local noise level; upward: 855,
882, 1053, 1089, 1107(2), 1341 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 1548 kHz, Jan 20 at 0153 UT, JBA carrier but really stands
out as nothing else at 9-kHz steps audible highband above 1107. There
are two 500 kW, R. Sawa, Kuwait 24 hours; and TWR via Pridnestrovye to
eastern Europe but only at 1930-2130 per WRTH 2021. See also

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, January 19 at
1327-1345: Looping NW on the DX-398 so from Japan/E Asia: 594, 693,
747, 774, 828, 972, 1323, 1422, 1566. From WSW so Australia: 702,
1548. Uncertain DF: 1503, 1512, both nothing more than 10 kW from
either. LSR here was 1341 UT.

1566, from 1342 Jan 19, paying special attention to surely 250 kW
Jeju, South Korea, but seems to have a slight beat from second
carrier, China? But no more than 10 kW there. At 1344 a 3+1
timesignal(?) cuts thru and then the station weakens, i.e. when FEBC
change antenna patterns and languages from Japanese to Chinese. Is
that non-hour TS typical of HLAZ?

One of the clubs has compiled a timesignal reference but I have not
found it again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Richard Langley replies on the WOR iog: ``It is attached. See FEBC in
the list. You're welcome. -- Richard Langley``

And thank you. I see there are some others with 3+1, altho FEBC
appears to be the only one that fits on 1566; e.g. there are no NHKs
at all on 1566 per WRTH. I`m really quite sure that`s it, but curious
if others have noticed the pips at odd times like transmission changes
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 1566, Jan 24 at 1342, awake just in time to check on
the longwire, JBA carrier surely from FEBC, and at 1344
near-imagination-level 3+1 timepips as definitely heard before when
their antenna is switching from N Korea to China heading. Of course I
could easily confirm this via remotes, if I were ever up and running
computer by now. The winter window for direct reception is steadily

UNIDENTIFIED. 2959.84, Jan 23 at 0212, JBA carrier, maybe trace of
modulation, suspected off-frequency MW harmonic e.g. from 1480-, Latin
American? I`ve searched old logs and can`t find anything other than
Mobile, Alabama, but which was not off-frequency. Now I also try
several SDRs in LAm and USA, but nothing. Maybe just a local birdie

** COLOMBIA [and non]. 600 kHz, Jan 27 at 0059, via TWR Bonaire SDR,
checking for the VOA relay via Radio Libertad, HJHJ, Barranquilla,
about which little has been seen since first report last September 19,
of this way to get into hostile Venezuela without using any SW.

Nothing about this in WRTH 2021 under Colombia, pp 163/165, but VOA
Spanish under USA, page 507 shows -- only -- 600-hjh site at 00-02
Sat/Sun, 00-03 M-F. QRM from piano riffs likely Rebelde/Cuba, but
dominant is Spanish news, mentions ``Buenos Dias``, so maybe still
replaying podcast of morning edition.

No ID for HJHJ at ToH, but 0101 switch to different W&M casters with
news about USA and COVID; ID in passing as ``La Voz de Am?rica``. A
Venezuelan MW transmitter was supposedly pressed into service to jam
this, also about which nothing further has been reported, but if
VOA/HJHJ get into Bonaire, probably also into Caracas (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 600, Jan 27 at 0105, continued log of VOA Spanish via
HJHJ, Barranquilla: ``Enlace Internacional`` now the program name, but
taking a pause for some music; via Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search January 29 at 1335

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Feb 2 at

1476. If I had the time and/or the patience, I could compute the (2)
SAHs, ranging from ``slow`` to ``medium``. *684 with some music audio,
strongest of the lot, no doubt RNE Spain.

Nothing usually heard on 1476; and there is nothing much in Europe
since ORF Austria destroyed its 60-kW transmitter; instead likely 100
kW TWR BENIN in Hausa, scheduled to start just now at *0320 M-F per
WRTH, finding the schedule, where else? under South Africa on page
494. 1476 is their second Benin transmitter; the first one on 1566 is
also supposed to start at 0320, in English, unheard now, but reported
more often into North America, presumably less unfavorably directed.
As for tonight, I`m rather surprised to find afterwards that the K
index at 03 was 4, with G1 geomag storming. It`s true the northern
Europeans, i.e. UK frequencies were not so strong, but Iberia, NW
Africa still arriving (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1476, Feb 3 at 0313, besides the usual lower-band JBA TA
carriers, there is already one on 1476, suspected TWR Benin. I was
hoping to hear it cut on for presumably the first morning show, Hausa
from 0320 but it`s already on. Nothing detectable on the English
frequency 1566. BTW, it`s no accident that 1476 was picked: WRTH 2005
showed 1476 as the main Cotonou outlet of ORTB except it was already
inactive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

International MWDX to Enid OK, February 8-14, 2021

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

My MW DX reports starting August
2011 are archived in this forum with
open access [maybe]:

I understand that the entire forum is in danger of deletion
due to lack of software support updates.

All times and dates strictly UT. 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;
ICR-75 with 100-foot E-W longwire.

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA LW carrier search, Feb 11 at 0714 UT:
I hesitate to do this, as there are birdies all over the place, and
despite getting numerous 25-watt ND beacons from N America, superpower
LWBCs from Europe elude me. There could also be intracontinental
beacon traces above 200. I guess my R75 is not sensitive enough at the
low end and/or my mere ~100 foot longwire is too short.

Nevertheless I perform a scan and do find some: 162, 189, 198, 207
kHz. Those would correspond to: France, Iceland, UK, Iceland. But
there are also carriers on 218 and 224. WRTH 2021 page 526 shows these
are the only Eurafrican LWBCs left: 153, 162, 171, 189, 198, 207, 225,
234, 243, 252 kHz.

Feb 11 at a rather late 0745 UT quick check for any 9-kHzers on MW for
comparison: 774, 882, 1215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED.``Glenn, regarding European longwave: Czech Radio on 270
is still there, as heard on the UTwente SDR. Will be shut down at the
end of 2021.

I'm sometimes able to hear extremely faint audio on 279 via UTwente.
Not sure if it's Turkmenistan or just an image. Conflicting info about
whether this transmitter is still active. Definitely was able to hear
it a few years ago after the Minsk co-channel shut down.

Altho Turkmenistan is hardly in `East Asia and the Pacific`, that`s
the LW/MW list where 279 appears in the HB, page 534. The only other
additional LW there are MONGOLIA on 164, 209, 227. IIRC both these and
279 have come under DXcussion as sporadic or defective. BTW, altho
larger than California in area, Turkmenistan occupies only 3.5 column
inches in the Domestic sexion of WRTH, a few FM stations, and no entry
in the International (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Yet again when I try to post Domestic MWDX report Feb 8-14, the 418 ``teapot`` error blocks even pasting it.

This time I can paste it but not post it, 418 ``I`m a teapot`` error!
Would be nice if someone could fix that
