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

[over 374,000 views! as of September 6, 2019]
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 with 100-foot E-W
longwire.
** BAHAMAS. While looking up CAYMAN info at dxinfocentre.com I search
for Bahamabeacons, and find only three listed. All appear to be away
from Hurricane Dorian path so may still be operating, FYI:
526, ZLS, Stella Maris, [Long Island], 500 watts
376, ZIN, Matthew Town, Great Inagua, 400 watts
281, ZSJ, Cockburn Town, San Salvador, 2000 watts
(Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CAYMAN ISLANDS. 415 kHz, Sept 6 at 0546, my NDB search downward is
off to a good start with CBC, which is 600 watts from Cayman BraC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Unfortunately awake before 1200 UT Sept 6, I check lowband
for the usual SRS stations: 540, 550, 610, 650, 700, 710, 740. 550 and
700 are playing different NA versions at hourtop; 650 concluding
`Buenos Dias, Yarderos` just before 1200, i.e. XETNT Los Mochis,
Sinaloa, and then always weaker 610, XEGS Guasave joins // for news.
700, Sept 6 at 1205, ``La Poderosa de Parral, 90.3``, i.e. XEGD,
Chihuahua where 5/1 kW can be hyped as ``powerful``.
740, making horrible LAH on minus side of KRMG which soon takes over.
We know this one is XEQN Torreón, Coahuila.
Enid sunrise today: 1207 UT. Also around 1205 Sept 6, tried 870 for
XETAR, but dominated by Spanish gospel huxter from south, presumably
KFJZ Fort Worth, but in new NRC AM Log it is still shown as ETHnic:
Hindi, and other sources say BizTalk Radio (in English)! Could this
really be Mexican? No, new IRCA Log shows only two others in Oaxaca,
Guerrero, not religious and very unlikely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 760-, Aug 26 at 0143 UT, WJR Detroit in Michigan
talkshow suffers from a low audible het on the minus side. I pull some
Mexmx by nulling WJR, i.e. NW/SE, but it`s hard to tell where this QRM
peak, as there is more QRM from Colorado really from the NW [see USA
log]. At 0156 an SHVA in Spanish but can`t copy any ID. In the NRC AM
Log 2018, the only USSSes on 760 are two Floridians, both on at night
but with wrong formats: WLCC Brandon 1 kW religious, and WEFL Tequesta
1 sesquikW ESPND; even less likely two Radios Progreso in Cuba.
Could it be Mexican? The most clockwise is on the AZ border, XENY
Nogales, Sonora. Was slightly off-minus, 29 months ago per mwoffsets:
``759.9898 MEX XENY-AM Radio Xeny (Nogales) 2017-03-25``
i.e. -10.2 Hz which unseems quite enough for the LAH I hear. While WJR
itself was only 0.2 Hz high as of a dekamonth ago. IRCA Mexican Log
last year shows XENY 5000/100 watts with music formats, but no mention
of offfrequenciness. Perhaps someone closer can confirm its exact
frequency (and existence) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 6 at 0538 during TA carrier search, q.v.,
also one here slightly stronger and steadier which I know is far more
likely to be TP, i.e. R. Kiribati already ~an hour after LSS in the
UT+14 = UT-10 zone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search: I hear a 1 kHz het
on 1000 KTOK OKC, so it`s time to resume hunting. Some editors think
this is a waste, insignificant, but I know I am really getting all
these signals from multiple countries, even if any audio for a
``definite ID`` is unlikely here in deep North America. Usual method:
on R75, 9-kHz steps tuning USB 1 kHz below each channel to detect
tell-tale hets of 1000 Hz.
This is at 0255-0304 UT Sept 6: 531, 621, 684, 711, 774-, 837, 954,
999, 1098, 1107, 1503, 1566, 1575. 621 stands out strongest, probably
Canary Islands. 774 is on the minus side, maybe something local. Often
pilot 999 is most likely COPE, Madrid, Spain, by proximity and power
50 kW.
Another search at 0538-0544 Sept 6: 549, 567, 621, 711, 747, 774(2),
837, 954, 999, 1107 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
