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
** MEXICO. 540, Sept 8 at 0545 UT, ID for BM Radio, Chihuahua, La Ranchera de
Paquimé, and FM I thought as 99.5, but listed as 90.5. This Nuevo Casas Grandes
station, XETX, continues to put out much more signal than you would expect from
listed 250 watts night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 660, Sept 8 at 0542 UT, ID mentioning 102.9, first noted with KSKY
nulled, leaving a slow SAH, but it`s really from the south, XEEY, 50/10 kW,
Aguascalientes2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 700, Sept 8 at 1153 UT, Radio Red ID, presumed XEDKR Guadalajara,
which relays XERED 1110 México DF; thought I heard an FM 92.1 mentioned, but
not listed as such in Jalisco, and in the DF it`s on 88.1. 700 listed as
10000/150 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, Sept 5 at 1202 UT, Chihuahua state song, 1204 inspirational
recitation about amor and ``un nuevo día``. It`s surely XEJCC in Ciudad Juárez,
listed by IRCA a 25 kW daytimer; WRTH 2016 says only 1 kW. A canned ID appears
at 1205, but fading and I can`t copy to confirm what slogan they are currently
using; 1206 UT, 6:06 timecheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810, Sept 6 at 0230 UT, corridos (story-telling songs, often
about gangsters), lyric mentions Culiacán, 0232 YL ad for something delicioso,
from a mall, phone starts 615 (but not an AC which would be E Tennessee).
Dominates, from ENE/WSW, 0238 UT ID by super-hype voice actor, who makes it
incomprehensible. If not KSWV Santa Fe NM, where it`s well after sunset,
allegedly 10 watts, there are two XE possibilities among a bunch of other 810s
further south/east: 1/1 kW XESB Santa Bárbara, Chihuahua; and 5 kW daytimer(?)
XERSV, Ciudad Obregón, Sonora (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 820, Sept 2 at 1155, Spanish romantic music pauses for a YL non-ID,
``Canal 800-20`` (meaning ``ochocientos veinte`` not just ocho-veinte). Good
with WBAP nulled making slow SAH of 32/minute = 0.533 Hz; 1159 segué instead of
any ID or anthem; strong enough to get a good DF on it as slightly CCW of
west-east, which fits for Mexicali BCN; and finally at 1202 a more complete
non-ID, ``Canal 800-20, ABC Radio``, more songs. Gone by 1220. So it really is
XEABCA as suspected, obscuring its grandiose 6-letter legal call. Getting a SRS
boost, LSR here being 1204, but still hard to believe it`s only 500 watts night
as in IRCA, Cantú and WRTH, or even 3500 watts day from a kilomile away,
overcoming 50,000 watt WBAP lately; seemingly a boost from previous nonentity
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1842, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 940, Sept 3 at 0306, good signal in Spanish on N/S antenna, promo
for Centro Educativo, ``el espiritualista mejor`` with call-in number repeated
several times, so I can be sure of 70 rather than 60: 55-70-10-07-47,
``descubriendo lo paranormal``, and plugging a 9 am sábado event on some
Calzada costing 99 pesos. 0309, starts taking call-ins. Has to be XEQ México
DF, 50/50 kW. This nonsense is not very good for a station now branding itself
a ``Ke Buena``. It seems that XEQ-940 and XEX-730 are the only major DF
stations with reliable reception up here any more: certainly not XEW-900 nor
XEB-1220 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 774 & 702, in TP carrier search, Sept 8 at 1143, JBA ones looping
W rather than NW, so likely the Australians, not Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
