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

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

longwire.
** MEXICO. 570, Oct 28 at 0556, caught last part of ID for ``92.1,
regional mexicana`` looping SSW. Certainly XEBJB Monterrey NL, which
IRCA Log shows as 5000/500 watts, ``BJB Regional Mexicana, Música
Regiomontana`, 24 h, // XHGBO 92.1 FM General Bravo. Regiomontana is
the classier adjectival form instead of ``Monterreyana``. BTW, in NRC
IDXD someone reported 570 Monty as XEMON, which is really the one on
1370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 690, Oct 28 at 0558-0602+, choral adult Mexican NA from
S/SSW with heavy CCI from KGGF et al. There are only three XEs on 690,
most likely XEN, CDMX, 100/5 kW, rather than Fresnillo or Monterrey.
Per the anthem appendix about XEN at
https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/2019%20Mexican%20Log.pdf
``Fast adult choral version (2 verses about 2 minutes) at Midnight. ID
before and after anthem``, while XEMA has children`s version, and XERG
none?
NOTE: the Log at the bottom also provides hotlinx to station websites,
live audio, and when available, disgraced FB. Note that 0600 UT is now
midnight in central Mexico back on CST ex-CDT, except for border towns
wedded to US timeshifting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 710.0, Oct 27 at 0603 UT tune-in, last few notes of
orchestral Mexican NA and apparently off, no Spanish or music further.
Must be XEDP, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, from the SW, the only one
I ever hear. This and the other two actives in the IRCA Mexican Log
are all shown as 24 hours.
NB that at the bottom of the Log
https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/2019%20Mexican%20Log.pdf
there is a new extensive survey of when and what version of national
anthems are played, including XEDP, ``Adult choral at Midnight`` The
morning/evening anthemings do not necessarily denote sign-ons/offs.
BTW, except for border towns, the rest of Mexico which had been on DST
has now gone off it, a week before the United Statesian Hallowe`en
extension, which Mexico never copied despite Dia de los Muertos (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 900, Oct 27 at 0613, Spanish song, XEW? NO, loops SE and
quickly // much weaker 890 with WLS Jimbo nulled, therefore the two
Radios Progreso. Yet WRTH shows 900 is 50 kW from far Holguín, while
890 is 200 kW from closer Ciego de Ávila.
[and non]. Once mighty XEW, La Voz de la América Latina desde México,
is seldom heard here; if I do get a 900 Mexican, it`s XEOK Monterrey,
or used to be: IRCA Log thinx it may be off to FM. There was a 100:1
power disparity, 250 vs 2.5 kW night power! WRTH 2019 gave XEW only
100 kW, a 40:1 ratio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1050, Oct 30 at 0631, C&W song in English. If it
were not for the language and the music I would assume it`s XEG, as
loops from Monterrey direxion vs lots of CCI around. 0633 back
announcement in -- Spanish, but now there is QRM from another station
playing C&W --- that likely be CJNB North Battleford, Sask, U2 10/10
kW with C&W format. Of course, almost all its signal supposed to go
northward at night. See also CANADA for next Sask log a few minutes
later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1130, re XEYZ, Aguascalientes2 still/again on the air:
On the WTFDA Forum, Raymie Humbert, AZ, also replied October 20:
``XEYZ still on air!? What necromancy is this? This is an AM that
nearly 18 months ago told the IFT "you can have the AM back, thank
you": [4 pp]
http://rpc.ift.org.mx/rpc/pdfs/35226_181212173840_5224.pdf
What is going on?`` Pertinent paragraph among all the verbiage:
``Ahora bien, en términos de lo señalado en el último párrafo de la
propia Condición Tercera de la citada Resolución, manifiesto la
voluntad de la concesionaria para renunciar a la frecuencia 1130 KHz.
originalmente asignada, a través de la estación de radio con
distintivo de llamada XEYZ~AM; en ese sentido, es nuestra intención
continuar la operación y explotación únicamente de la frecuencia 107.7
MHz, por medio de la radiodifusora con distintivo de llamada XHYZ~FM.
Como consecuencia de lo anterior, solicitamos que los Títulos de
Concesión correspondientes versen exclusivamente sobre la frecuencia
que opera en la banda de Frecuencia Modulada y en su caso, se indiquen
las condiciones y el momento en que deberá de suspenderse de manera
definitiva la operación de la frecuencia de Amplitud Modulada y por
tanto revertirse en favor del Estado.``
1130, Oct 27 at 0624, super-hype voice actor (SHVA) proclaims, ``La
Poderosa, la más famosa`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1510, Oct 27 at 0629, classical music from SSW/NNE, no
doubt XEQI Monterrey; there is *no* USA AM station with a classical
format we hear. Brand is ``Opus 15-10 AM`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
