All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only. Or FRG-7, Sony SRF-59 when 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: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html ** MEXICO. 790, June 17 at 1110 UT, news in Spanish dominates the QRM, about bajacalifornianos; at 1111 a timecheck in ``hora central de México`` and R. Fórmula ID, ``cubriendo todo México y Estados Unidos``, adstring, 1115 Fórmula 9-70 promo, which is the flagship station XERFR in the DF whose IDs get relayed everywhere. So is it XENT, La Paz BCS, 5/0.75 kW as in IRCA? Probably, altho this may be during national network news, and there is another Fórmula on 790 in Guadalajara, supposedly a 1 kW daytimer. Cantú shows XENT at 10/0.75 kW and XEGAJ as 0.25 kW day & nite. WRTH agrees with IRCA on XENT and with Cantú on XEGAJ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 990, June 15 at 0511 UT, no CBW but mix of two Spanish speaking stations; on top is KFCD TX which must be on day pattern, see U S A. Alternately fading up and down with XET up for a while as the 94-year-old DJ mentions this is his show #18,359, i.e. every night for over 50 years. His tunes and announcements are interspersed with automated time and temp chex, only 9 grados?! Got that wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1310, June 17 at 1100 UT I am unavoidably awake just before sunrise, so start tuning down the MW band in search of Mexican NAs. Finally hit one here at 1103, heavy QRM, but during full ID at 1104 I can make out a mention of Monterrey, and maybe a slogan, Radio Extremo? Anyhow, IRCA Log shows the NL station is XEVB, 5/0.1 kW, slogan ``Mujer`` = woman. Cantú agrees except power as 5/0.25 kW. WRTH agrees with that except name as ``Radio Mujer`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
