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; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside or randomwire; Nissan stock caradio
as specified; FRG-7 or ICR-75 with E-W longwire
** MEXICO. 610, UT Monday Nov 16 at 0411, `La Hora Nacional` about some lake in
Michoacán; quick MW bandscan on N/S antenna wire finds this is the best `LHN`
outlet, no doubt XEBX in Sabinas, Coahuila. Second best is 770, but not //,
probably XEACH Monterrey NL. Another, 1060.04 at 0416, i.e. XERDO Tamaulipas
(atop XEEP DF). And on 1320 at 0419, `LHN` is likely XECPN Piedras Negras,
Coahuila, but no 100 watts! As for major stations, forget it, nothing readable
in Spanish on 540, 730, 800, 900, 940, 990, 1050, 1140, 1220 or even 1570 ---
station in English atop XERF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 709.90 approx., Nov 16 at 0358, Spanish music making het to 710
stations, no doubt XEDP, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, running its
off-frequency transmitter site tonight; yes, at 0359 so sung-IDing, ``XEDP, La
Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc``. Separable and readable with LSB, narrow bandwidth and
passband tuning boost on the NRD-545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 900, Nov 19 at 0707 UT, noise de open FM STL from the SW, presumably
the usual XEDT Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, but stops at 0708* uncovering a weaker
station in Spanish CCW, probably XEOK NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Nov 19 at 1252 UT, just after confirming that WKY OKC is on
the air but at severely reduced power, I`m briefly hearing another weak SS
station, counterclockwise from WKY, ``los éxitos de hoy, Qué Suave`` (or Ke
Suabe?) – trouble is I`m not certain of the last word, and don`t find any
listings for such a slogan or anything similar in western US or Mexico.
If Mexican, the only likely 930s this late are XESHT in Saltillo, Coahuila, but
it`s supposed to be ``La Poderosa`` or ``La Más Buena``; or XEQS in Fresnillo,
Zacatecas, which is ``Romántica``. Could it be KCCC Carlsbad NM in a recent
flip? Well, there is a `Que Suave` in Carlsbad, but it`s a hair/nail salon.
Searching on that slogan mainly hits on KSWV 810 Santa Fe. How about KAPR
Douglas AZ, listed as SS? Could be, except it`s allegedly // KVOI 1030 which is
NewsTalk in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1510, Nov 14 at 0155 UT, Woman in monolog, about self-help? Spanish
from N/S, not E/W. Fades at 0158, but soon back enough to copy ``Radio NL,
XEQI, 1510-AM, la radio alternativa, servicio (?) de radio y televisión de
Nuevo León``. Seems like a local public radio station for Monterrey (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
