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:

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open
access:

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal
antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as

** MEXICO. Unusual update to the AM and FM
http://www.ift.org.mx/sites/default/files/contenidogeneral/industria/infraestructurafm28-04-15_1.pdf
station tables in which the only changes seem to have been concession
information on a couple AM-FM conversions no longer without AMs. (XEMU Piedras
Negras, for instance, seems to be gone and all that's left is XHEMU.) Note the
odd format, the old date with a _1 near it. TV has not been changed (Raymie
Humbert, May 18, WTFDA Forum via DXLD)
XEMU is 580, 5/2.5 kW, La Rancherita and can be a big QRM problem for WIBW at
SRS/SSS, and any time at night, as it`s almost opposite direction thru Enid and
unnullable. So now I`m looking for it, really gone for good? May 25 at 0540
some Mexican music is way under WIBW, but there are 7 or 8 other XEs on 580,
all with lower listed night power. Further chex needed.
If XEMU is off as a result of Mexican government policy to migrate AMs to FMs,
that should open up the frequency in SW to Central TX in case any US station
would like it (yet far enough from adjacents in Dallas and Austin, co-channel
in Lubbock).
Mexico could hardly insist on FCC honoring such a deleted listing, tho
ex-Canadians who have voluntarily quit AM for FM still must be protected, as
it`s conceivable a new station could erupt on an open frequency there such as
580 or 700 in Alberta (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1775, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1300, May 27 at 0642 UT, romantic music in Spanish, loops WSW, fast
SAH against others. Presumed XEP Juárez, Chihua2, but since it`s dominating the
frequency, I can`t believe it`s on 200 watt night power instead of 38 kW day.
BTW, Fred Cantú`s http://www.mexicoradiotv.com site is still ``temporarily
unavailable``. I fear it is permanently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1570, May 26 at 0647 UT, XERF with IMER call-in about the
tornado that hit Ciudad Acuña; strangely, by 0652 they are playing a Spanish
song to the tune of ``Fascination``, while fighting QRM from KBCV Missouri (see
USA log). XERF should have been more interesting listening earlier.
And you should have heard how Laura Whatshername butchered ``Ciudad Acuña`` on
BBC World News America, May 25 after 22 UT via OETA. How do you get to be
anchorette of a major network newscast without knowing the first thing about
pronouncing Spanish? Or not even knowing that she needed to look it up,
practice? At least the other anchorette, Katty Kay {is that her real name?},
was distancing herself from uttering ``Los Angeleeez`` when recently
originating from there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
