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 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 E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire
** MEXICO. 770, Nov 23 at 1301, full ID for Los Cuarenta Principales Los
Mochis, XHREV 104.3 and XEREV 770, then at 1303 NA, mixing with KKOB and/or
KKOB. A bit surprised, since the normal dominator from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, 650
XETNT is quite weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 900, Nov 23 at 1307, multi-verse choral NA from WSW does not end
until 1308, full ID for Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, XHDT, 98.3 FM with 25 kW,
street address, but this is XEDT, with ``el programa número uno en Cuauhtémoc,
Country Hits`` and into --- country hits, in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1190, Nov 24 at 0708, as soon as I tune in, clear ID as ``Radio
Centro, 11-90 AM``, and into romantic music, loops roughly southwest. None such
listed in WRTH for Mexico or any other Latin American country on 1190. Nor USA
in the NRC AM Log 2015-2016. So a Google search leads to:
https://www.facebook.com/radiocentro991/
There are a number of posts starting this month that 1190 is ``our new home``
for various programs that were on Radio Centro 99.1. It may be that for a few
months previous they were simulcasting, but now only on 1190, it seems. One is
hard-pressed to find anything on this FB relating this station to Ciudad
Juárez, as all the locals obviously know where it is. But there is a link to
their real website whose URL remains as if on 99.1:
http://www.radiocentro991.com/
but everywhere else it`s branded only as RADIO CENTRO 1190. Altho it appears to
be 100% Mexican, part of Grupo Radio México (not Radio Centro [flagship XEQR
1030] itself), their studio phone number has an El Paso area code! ``Cabina:
(915) 229-1991``. Nothing on the Contacto link any closer than that, let alone
a street address in CiJz. Is the studio really across the frontera??
Anyhow, the 1190 CiJz facility is XEPZ, ex-Radio Norteña per WRTH 2015, IRCA
log 2014-2015, and Cantú as of Feb 2015, with 5000/100 watts (yeah, sure). Many
years ago I visited XEPZ, when it was also an adjunct to some bigger station,
and consisted of little but a record player on a table (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD

UNIDENTIFIED. 621, Nov 23 at 0236, 1 kHz het upon 620 Dallas, probably Canary
Islands; then check 1520 at 0240 and a JBA het there too from 1521, presumably
Saudi Arabia. Seeking beyond mere 1 kHz hets, I try 783, and find a carrier
there too, probably Mauritania. But can`t get any audio out of them with
maximum manipulation of the NRD-545 features (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1521, Nov 22 at 0118, 1-kHz het upon KOKC OKC during silly
football game, presumably 2 megawatt BSKSA Duba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
