"AHORA YA NO SE TRANSMITE PORQUE EL TRANSMISOR EST? DESTROZADO. POR ESA RAZON QUE YA NO TRABAJA.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs June 22-23, 2010

Sporadic E on VHF is finally back after a 2-day respite: I leave TV on channel 2 most of the time waiting for openings. 0014 UT June 23, channel 2 fades up with southerly Spanish, Banco Azteca --- may we assume they never advertise on Televisa? Is ad break in dubbed Los Simpson which resumed at 0017; Homer doesn`t sound like Homer, sorry; could Hank Azaria learn Spanish? TV Guide says it`s the Azteca-7 network. There are six possibilities, Campeche and Tampico most likely here. More interesting is CCI on 2 for several minutes from black screen, silent audio. Who could that be? It`s 10 kHz offset from Simpsons. Then I am getting commercials in English. Maybe it was XHRIO. From the Dxinfocentre maps, XHCAM and XHRIO are both offset plus, so that doesn`t fit. XHTAU Tampico and XHDRG Durango are zero, so could be either of those, if black was XHRIO. Yes, this is iffy, but who`s counting? 0026 on channel 4, net-5 bug UR, lucha libre? Also WW logo to be seen such as on interview mike, one W atop the other. Thought it pertains to W network, as in XEW, radio too, or is it for Wrestling? Weak opening fading in and out; at 0054 saw the WW on mike again, interviewing a bunch of guys in a ring [= square], but not wearing masks. Net-5 on 4 has a number of possibilities, including XHD Tampico. 0034 on ch 2, Primer Impacto, which is the Televisa tabloid newsmagazine we also get on Univisión. TV Guide online is giving me trouble, refusing to load local or international listings. Maybe because the advertising isn`t loading first? Geez. 0041 on ch 2, preacher in Spanish, with phone number, ``llámenos al`` starting with (81), which is the country code for Japan, so it must have been something within Mexico, or somewhere closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO [non]. Re my previous report of a 92.7 relaying XHRR 102.5 Reynosa, Tamaulipas, ``La Ley``. It is in fact KESO, a fine example of international cooperation. Steven Wiseblood in Harlingen, for whom these are locals confirms: ``92.7 is definitely transmitting from Port Isabel, relaying 102.5 Reynosa; funny thing is, they have no ads for Port Isabel or South Padre Island, all the content is geared to McAllen-Edinburg-Hidalgo. I have absolutely no idea why a Port Isabel station is being used to relay the Reynosa station, and also why is there no local content for Port Isabel or South Padre Island. I have confirmed, however, that the 92.7 transmitter is within 2 miles of downtown Port Isabel, near the ship channel. Sometimes I secretly wish for the Fairness Doctrine so that a station like this will at least have to have a few hours of local content a day, but it is being used now as nothing more than a relay for 102.5 Reynosa, "La Ley"`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA [non]. Altho I still think airplane scatter from Vance training flights affects reception of KSNW-45 Wichita, around 1700 UT June 22 the DTV signal is popping in a few times per minute for a few seconds each, whether or not
