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 E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire
** MEXICO [and non]. 720, March 13 at 1308 UT, romantic music in Spanish from
WSW, surely XEJCC Ciudad Juárez, now known as El Fonógrafo; with Spanish CCI
from more to the south, 1311 UT ``La Estación de la Raza``, i.e. KSAH Universal
City/San Antonio TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1030, March 13 at 0122, I find some Spanish dominant, PSA for
Mexican maestros, probably from the SEP tho not heard credited, and another
PSA, then 0123 mentions ``Radio Fórmula Monterrey 7-70``. As I try to DF it,
losing out to English political talk NW/SE, presumably KTWO WY, and also
another SS. I would assume this is XEYC in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, the only
Fórmula listed on 1030, and which I used to get regularly; except this item via
DXLD 16-07 said XEYC had moved to 1460:
``Changes at Grupo Radio México, Ciudad Juárez:
720 XEJCC El Fonógrafo, ex Extremo 7-20
970 XEJ R México Noticias, ex La J Mexicana
1190 XEPZ R Centro, ex R Norteña
1240 XEWG La Jefa, ex Cambio 12-40
1300 XEP R Mexicana ex R 13
1460 XEYC R Fórmula, ex 1030 kHz
(Héctor García Bojorge via Mauno Ritola, WRTH via Central [sic]
American News, ed. Tore Larsson, Feb MW News via DXLD)
I had been hearing R. Fórmula Noticias, XEYC on 1030 as recently as Dec 29.
1460 would certainly be a clearer spot for it, with only 4
Mexicans already listed there, and nothing else in the tri-state area.
But not for here: XEYC often dominated 1030 over KTWO or anything else. I had
also been hearing Fonógrafo on 720, Centro on 1190 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)``
So what is going on here? If XEYC really vacated 1030, could XEACH 770
Monterrey have moved to 1030 yet not updated their ID??? Unlikely, and MTY has
big guns on 990 and 1050. Maybe Fórmula 770 in MTY was simply mentioned in a
promo on the entire network out of XERFR 970 DF? In any event, there is
obviously still a Fórmula on 1030, so what else if not XEYC Juárez? {a DXer in
El Paso could tell us}
XEYC is nowhere to be found in this station list
http://www.gradiomex.com/estaciones-por-ciudad/
nor do they have any Radio Fórmulas, so maybe GRM has nothing to do with the
station on 1030.
The Radio Fórmula website
http://www.radioformula.com.mx/
is no help at all in finding affiliates around the country.
BTW, WRTH 2016 keys 1030 XEYC as CH26, but that leads to a station addressed in
Ojinaga/Presidio TX, some mixup there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1521.0, March 13 at 0118, JBA het against KOKC 1520.0 OKC with
silly Capitol Hill HS football game, no doubt the 2-megawatt, BSKSA TA beacon
from Duba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANGUILLA. 11775, March 15 at 2036, Caribbean Beacon remains off as it has
been all day. But night frequency 6090 is on March 16 circa 0607 when I`m also
hearing PMS on 1610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
