** CANADA. 317 kHz, Dec 15 at 0226 UT, dash and VC, 1000-watt ND beacon
at La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
326 kHz, Dec 15 at 0230 UT, dash and VV, 133-watt NDB at Wiarton,
Ontario, which http://www.dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm says is among those
to be decommissioned 2020-03-26. I was tuned to 325 USB. When tuned to
326 instead hearing AAA, supposed to be on 329; see U S A (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 326? kHz, Dec 15 at 0727 UT, ND beacon ID as AAA; only such
call listed is supposed to be on 329 kHz, 25 watts from Lincoln IL =
`Abraham Lincoln`. Not unusual to tune something 1 kHz off, but 3? The
town of Lincoln is on I-55 NE of Springfield, halfway to Bloomington
IL. When tuned to 325, I heard VV in Ontario, listed as 326; see
CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, Dec 12 at 1428 UT check, yes, our only local
NDB, EI, 25 watts at Woodring is JBA on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 350 kHz, Dec 12 at 0728 UT, dash and NY, 400-watt ND beacon
at Enderby BC, 2313 km = 1437 stmi from here. I rarely hear any from
that area. But where`s RG from WRWA, OKC? Not noted.
356 kHz, Dec 12 at 0727 UT, dash and ZF, 3800 watt ND beacon from
Yellowknife NT --- new good catch for me; dozing off I wrote down 366
instead but also noted a mix with ODX, Ord, Nebraska, and both of them
are really on 356. YK is 3113 km from Enid = 1934 statute miles.
362 kHz, Dec 12 at 0726 UT, dash and SB, 500-watt ND beacon from
Greater Sudbury, Ontario.
366 kHz, Dec 12 at 0721 UT, dash and YMW, 500-watt ND beacon from
Maniwaki, Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 365 kHz, Dec 12 at 0722 UT, ND beacon HQG mixing with
something else; 25 watts from Hugoton, Kansas. I was tuned to 363-USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 475 kHz, Dec 9 at 0715 UT, continuous weak CW as I am
dozing off; did not notice any DE definite ID, but could be this as
logged 11 months ago: ``U S A. 475 kHz, Jan 13 at 0701, WA4SZE/BEACON
on CW from Dave Frantz, of WWRB, Manchester TN`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 475.1 kHz, Dec 10 at 0319-0328 UT, very slow CW beacon, JBA
but as previously reported it is indeed the one Dave Frantz runs at
WWRB, Manchester TN. The message roughly twice a minute is: WWW WA4SZE
COM WA4SZE/BEACON K. Not sure what the COM mean amid. And WWW, not
VVV?
Here`s an interesting discussion about this from 2+ years ago:
https://www.eham.net/forum/view?id=topic=117878.0
I wonder if this beacon be recently reactivated? Can`t say I pay much
attention to ``630 meters``, but ran across this on the way to or from
the NDB band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2012, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 560 [non]. Replying to my query about Roman-numeral
frequency calls other than KLVI Beaumont: Carl Dabelstein: ``At one
time, the station in Phoenix on 1400 had the call KXIV.``
Rick Dau: ``Glenn, at least one other example comes to my mind
immediately -- WXVI-1600 in Montgomery, Alabama. The "XVI" portion, of
course, is the Roman numeral for "16", an affectionate reference to
WXVI's position on the AM dial. This is a station for which I have a
soft spot -- it was the very first to which I ever sent a reception
report. On February 13, 1988, while I was a student at the University
of Iowa (in what would turn out to be my final semester there), I did
a report on WXVI, which was airing Alabama State University men's
basketball that evening and identifying as "Sunshine 16". Being
somewhat new to serious DXing (my Iowa City AM logbook was just a
month old at that point and NRC member and Iowa City resident Earl
Higgins was still helping me get my feet wet), I was rather naive
about reporting pertinent (and verifiable) details of their
programming. In fact, my letter to them simply stated that I had heard
their broadcast of ASU basketball and IDs as "Sunshine 16", but it
included nothing solid, like local ads. As you can imagine, I did not
get a QSL for the report, but WXVI was at least kind enough to send me
a "Sunshine 16" bumpersticker. Fortunately, my 2nd report mailed, this
one for a reception of WOWO-1190 two weeks later, DID include mentions
of commercials, and I did get a nice QSL card in early March signed by
then-CE Eric Culp for QSL #1. 73, Rick Dau, South Omaha, Nebraska``
Well, well, I also got an earlier QSL when it was WAPX; call changed
to WXVI in the mid-1970s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 750, Dec 14 at 1331 UT, PSA about 529plan.com in Missouri,
fade-out and -in, more PSAs, one about skin cancer; song ``Sock it to
Me``. So it`s KBNN, Lebanon MO, 5 kW daytimer with 500-watt psra,
rather than KMMJ or WNDZ. That website doesn`t work but this is it:

UNIDENTIFIED. 1520.7 approx., Dec 15 at 1912 UT, het upon KOKC; not
SAUDI ARABIA which would be exactly 1521.00, and probably KRHW
Sikeston MO previously off-frequency. Would be nice if someone nearby
or elsewhere in mid-America would measure what`s off.
BTW, after Saudi closes at 2230*, DXers in NE America have been
getting on 1521 the 500 kW CRI relay in EAST TURKISTAN, land of Uighur
brainwashing by the ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2012 monitoring: Confirmed Sat Dec 14 at 2050
on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, 3 minutes into so nominal 2030 started at 2047. R4
almost completely readable vs local hi noise level; tnx to low winter
sun allowing skywave this early. Without the HNL it would have been fine.
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2012 monitoring: confirmed UT Sun Dec 15 at
