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

All my MW DX reports starting August
2011 are archived in this forum with

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly
DX-398 with internal antenna
only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S

randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio

** MEXICO. 650, April 25 at 1155, 10 minutes after Enid sunrise,
Mexican music and Spanish, fast SAH, presumed the usual SRS dominator
XETNT, Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Faded by 1200. However, next morning, see
below:
On April 26 pre-sunrise I tune the lowband for Mexicans still
propagating:
540, April 26 at 1126, potosina ads, i.e. XEWA SLP (I was also hearing
it after 0500 NA with ``Los Cuarenta`` slogan.). Nulling this at 1126,
I have another Mexican, no doubt XETX Chihuahua which typically
dominates a bit later.
550, April 26 at 1127, Mexican music loops WSW, which would be XEPL,
Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, the only N/W Mexican, dominating for now before
KFRM overtakes.
650, April 26 at 1128, NO signals at all on 650, nor any XE on 610,
sibling station to XETNT, XEGS Guasave, Sinaloa. Strange, and
wondering if these too are giving up on MW. Both are supposed to be
24h per 2018 IRCA Mexican Log.
710, April 26 at 1136, ``primera edición`` of newscast from BM Radio,
i.e. XEDP, Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua; not off-frequency this time. 1151
news of marijuana bust in Delicias, citing grams, then mentions
Oclajoma!
800, April 26 at 1128, ad for Laboratorios Camacho from Los Ángeles,
i.e. one of the major advertisers on XEROK Juárez; with KQCV OKC
easily nulled. But a few minutes later XEROK has vanished, and is
normally inaudible at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, March 21 at 1236-
1245: 594, 774-NW & WSW, 828-NW, 882-WSW, 972-NW, 1098-W, 1422-NW,
1548-WSW, 1566-NW. Very likely sources of all these from Australia,
Pacific and East Asia should be obvious. Should have started earlier
before LSR 1234 UT, while I was trying to get back to sleep, but
finally upgave and intuned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, April 25 at 1146-
1152 as I happen to awaken just at LSR 1145: 864, 882, 1035, 1548,
792, but by far the strongest is 1098 from west, the all-night open
carrier from V7AB, Marshall Islands. The others are too weak for a
definite DF, but probably from WSW = S Pacific rather than NW = E Asia
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, April 26 at 1138:
702, 837-WSW with two beating, 1098, 774 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 2097.3-CW, March 24 at 0310, beacon A clearly audible, one
Morse letter every dekasecond. Based on some references, we have been
attributing this to Quartzsite AZ, but Steve McGreevy in the Mojave
says it definitely is not, unknown exactly where but in Q. only a
skywave signal is received (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA [and non]. 2859.812, March 21 at 1153, JBA carrier,
suspected the known active second harmonic of 1430, Radio San Carlos,
as IDed recently by Jay Novello, NC, but without a precise
measurement. In *2017y* I reported:
``COSTA RICA. 2859.82, Jan 18 at 0049, JBA carrier on the signature
off-frequency of R. San Carlos, Ciudad Quesada, 2 x 1430v as
previously identified``.
Now at 1155 I have no signal on 2940+, indicating that harmonic is
considerably east from here even tho our sunrise is not until 1234;
and a carrier on 2960 as if Mobile 1480 x 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.132, March 25 at 0609, trace of modulation, vs
staticrashes, second harmonic of something on 2940.066v. I`ve already
mentioned the likeliest, but no reports received from anyone who can
ID it for sure, and the spring storm season is no help (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 2940.14, March 28 at 0540, harmonic with the most
modulation yet but still too weak, seems YL talking but can`t tell
language. At 0548 an OM instead. Have been presuming it`s 2 x
1470.07v, but since 2+9+4 = 15, a multiple of 3, this could also be a
third harmonic of 980+.
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=980
shows a few remote possibilities (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 2940+, re my several recent logs of an harmonic here,
many tnx to Brett Saylor who has definitely IDed it as the same one
which was being heard a few years ago:
``Hi Glenn, Regarding the reports of a station on 2940.x, I heard HJNT
Huellas Radio, Cali, Colombia on approx. 2940.11 kHz (2 x 1470.x) with
impassioned Spanish preacher at 1030 UT on 2 April 2019 on my Perseus
SDR and south 16' x 36' Wellbrook broadband loop; confirmed this was
HJNT via comparison with the TWR kiwiSDR in Bonaire and the station's
own web stream at http://www.radios.com.co/huellas/ --- Best 73, Brett
Saylor W3SWL, State College, PA``
Huella means footprint, or vestige, apropos for harmonic, unlikely
chosen deliberately! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 2940.132, April 23 at 0556 UT, music detectable on ~S9
signal better than usual, but storm noise level peaks S9+20. Of
course, it`s HJNT, Radio Huellas, Cali, long-running second harmonic
of 1470.066 as already identified elsewhere, but I would still like to
hear an ID, myself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
