[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, August 28-September 3, 2015

VHF/UHF, sometimes utility, ham, which may be found in several archives without

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and

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 with E-W longwire as specified

** MEXICO. 740-, Sept 3 at 0659 UT, with auroral boost, horrible low rumbling 
het against KRMG Tulsa, and somewhat separable with LSB tuning on the DX-398 
and nulling: PSA about Puebla; Radio Fórmula, Chihuahua also mentioned but call 
ID for flagship in the DF, XERFR 970. Really must be XEQN Torreón, Coahuila, 
10/1 kW, the only other Fórmula on 740 being in Q.Roo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 780v, Sept 3 at 0702, WBBM is wiped out by auroral 
conditions, instead ID for Exa-FM, 3-minute-fast 2:05 TC, making low rumbling 
het but not as bad as 740 XEQN/KRMG. Last year`s IRCA log and WRTH 2015 show 
two Exas on 780, but surely it`s the closer one, XEWGR, Monclova, Coahuila, 
10/0.25 kW, rather than 5 kW daytimer, XEZN in Celaya, Guanajuato (and Cantú as 
of last Feb listed no Guanajuatan on 780). I can null both this and what`s left 
of WBBM to hear 720-watt KCEG Fountain CO with country music in the clear.

{Note, on Aug 26 at 1139, I logged: `La Poderosa, 103.5 y 780`` ID, 6:39 
TC; i.e. XESFT, San Fernando, Tamaulipas, 5/1 kW; with KSPI OK nulled, 
otherwise, makes annoying low audible het with it; also afflicting WBBM in the 
evenings```. So are both XESFT and XEWGR off-frequency producing LAHs? As for 
correlating with FM frequencies, I was not sure of the last digit, but XHSFT is 
listed as 103.7} (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 870, Aug 31 at 1205 UT, non-Spanish language mentions Guachochi, 
pronounces call XETAR as in Spanish, Secretaría de Salud PSA in Spanish. So 
this indigenous Chihuahuan is again audible around sunrise here, but soon fades 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 880, Aug 28 at 0556, XE NA with KRVN nulled, and tnx to dead air 
from KHAC-USB. 0557 ID for XEPNK and a similar FM call, plug Radio México 
network. This is Los Mochis, Sinaloa, 10/2 kW, surpassing 24h NSP XEV Chihuahua 
if it`s really on, 5/0.25 kW per IRCA Mexican Log (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST) 

** MEXICO. 970, Aug 31 at 1207 UT, ranchera music, roughly SW/NE; splatter from 
local 960 KGWA worse than usual. XEJ Juárez was ranchera, but long gone. Could 
be any one of another Chihuahuan, Sonoran or Sinaloan. 1213 announcement but 
fading out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1300, Aug 28 at 0546.4 UT, timecheck in Spanish for 11:45; loops 
WSW, music. Only two XEs are in the summer UT -6 zone, XEJL in Sinaloa, 
1000/250 watts; and XEP Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, 38000/200 watts, but the 
latter often heard here with suspected day power at night. However, it soon 
lost out to the CCI. No US SS stations in the UT -6 zone according to the 2015 
NRC AM Log, but some Texans in UT -5. Assuming the TC is only a sesquiminute 
off instead of an hour off. No, the Mexican NA can be heard at 0602 UT, so 
local midnite in MDT zone. Spanish music still audible at 0613 by monitoring 
LSB only, conveniently suppressed by KHAC which had resumed modulating on USB.

1300, Aug 29 at 0548 UT, I am rechecking 24 hours later the SS circumstantially 
identified as XEP, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Again a dominant signal from WSW 
(or ENE), apropos for 38,000 rather than legal 200 watts, but plenty of CCI. Is 
playing romantic song, ``Aquellos Ojos Verdes``; 0551 ``En Radio México 
Noticias, también música bonita``, then ``16 Tons`` in English! but not by 
TennErnFord, no bass this one. 0557, Radio México Noticias promo, federal promo 
for La Hora Nacional, promo some RMN morning shows; more music; 0602 ``Escuchas 
Radio México Noticias``, no further ID and into choral NA. 0604, NA is over 
already, and finally an ID for Radio México Noticias, including XEP call. This 
station is obviously determined to maintain its ``news`` identity even when 
playing music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

All times and dates strictly UT [4 hours ahead of `ELT` during DST; when 
changing times one must also change the dates for events in the 00-04 UT period 
to the previous date by ELT].

Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; NRD-545 with ALA-330S

These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of 
USA, unidentified [if any], separated by === Within
each, they are in frequency order

** CANADA. 2598-SSB, Aug 31 at 0520 UT, too weak talk to copy, but it`s a 
Canadian CG frequency for N/L marine weather. Per Bill Hepburn`s schedule at 
this hour, 
http://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
it`s the one QC station in this group, CJH-22, Natashquan (Rivière au Renard), 
which is on the coast ouest of Terre-Neuve, starting at 0437 --- that`s quite a 
while ago, but no further broadcasts among the seven stations until Placentia 
at 0737 UT. 

I was also looking for the 2600-AM carrier, probable MW harmonic, but not heard 
now, apparently needing daytime facility circa sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 2748.95-USB, Sept 2 at 0140, YL robot with marine weather in 
English, i.e. scheduled at this time, VAR-3 Fundy NS, i.e. Yarmouth just 
started (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

==

** OKLAHOMA. (1650), Aug 27 at 1700 UT, KYHN webcast is in Herman Cain show, 
but no break at hourtop --- he`s in a 20-minute quick-response segment; another 
far right wacko is on an hour later, with no break either, so I conclude the 
webcast, if really from KYHN, whose ID I was wanting to reconfirm instead of 
``WFSM``, is way off-time as surely these shows accede to hourtop news hole 
breaks in real time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1650, Aug 28 at 0559 UT, ``AM 16-50, Arklahoma`s talk radio, KYHN, 
Fort Smith``, nice singing ID, bong and CBS news. So still no sign of the 
alleged call change to WFSM which FCC shows, and quoted by some other DX 
sources without really monitoring it. Here`s the callsign history page showing 
previous KYHN and others, but not the date WFSM supposedly started:
http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=87114=WFSM
Aside from the news, KYHN continues to air `Red Eye Radio` far-right trucker 
nonsense out of WBAP overnight, and repeated a couple seconds later on adjacent 
local 1640 KZLS. Note: my previous report of monitoring KYHN webcast at 1700 & 
1800 UT was on Aug 27, not 28 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WORLD OF RADIO 1789, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

Re: don`t you believe WFSM --- Glenn - The CDBS database has this station back 
to KYHN as of Friday, August 28 - should be fixed in AM Query by Monday. 73, 
(David Yocis, NRC, WORLD OF RADIO 1789, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Not checked until 0410 UT Sept 2, and yes indeed, no WFSM, and KYHN is back; 
and no sign of WFSM in 87114`s Call Sign History, either! (gh)

===

** U S A. 670, Aug 28 at 0608 UT, CBS Sports Radio, loops ESE conveniently with 
WSCR Chicago nulled, which is also CBS but not same programming. Obviously it`s 
5 kW ``daytimer``, KHGZ Glenwood AR, cheating yet again, and blocking reception 
of Cuba further away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880-CUSB, Aug 27 at 0224 UT from E/W, sermon and outro as ``encore 
2015`` on `Truth for Life`. This IDs my unID of almost 24 hours earlier not as 
KLRE Arkansas, but as KHAC Tse Bonito NM, the Christian Navajo station, when I 
did not think to detect whether it was lacking any lower sideband which is the 
case now; quite an oddity for the MW band, and not obvious with ordinary AM 
tuning. Also obvious that KHAC keeps running 10 kW day power at night, 
non-direxional; no mere 430 watts, this! Aug FCC LSR/LSS: 1230/0200 UT; Sept: 
1300/0130 UT. Much better than talk in English on 770, presumably KKOB (Santa 
Fe?) 

880, Aug 28 at 0557 UT, open carrier with KRVN nulled, facilitating log of 
XEPNK (see MEXICO), i.e. KHAC Tse Bonito NM, with modulation resumed by 0613 UT 
in Jesus song on USB only.

880-CUSB, Sept 1 at 0559, weather for Navajo Nation, KHAC ID, Tse (pronounced 
Say) Bonito, NM, and ``good night`` as if closing down, but continues with hymn 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Re: [IRCA] Alberta TA's Sept 4

[Don Moman VE6JY]

Well it was mostly downhill soon after I posted so maybe I was late to
the peak.   audio on 756 1215 1377 and 1422 was about all I scrolled
across.  1377 is listed as 300 kw France Info...  1008 was showing tones
 and 1053 carrier was joined by someone way high like 1053.1 which MW
Offsets suggests is  Libya.

Re: [IRCA] Alberta TA's Sept 4

[Mike Stonebridge]

Same up here Don. Almost every split frequency from 189 to 1602 had a carrier 
on it. Several with audio. France on 1206, 1278 & 1377; Germany on 1269 & 1422 
and UK-1215 were the best. Had 2 men talking on 1512 but couldn’t figure out 
the language. Probably Saudi Arabia as it completely disappeared shortly after 
Saudi Sunrise. Then, as with Don, they all faded down.

Not nearly as inspiring here with my K9AY and Sony 2010, but had some 
faint audio on 1377, and het on 1215. Haven't checked all the other 
freqs. What is 1377?
