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
inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S;
Nissan stock caradio

longwire.
** MEXICO [and non]. 1090, Oct 16 at 0604 UT, colchón (mattress) ad in
Spanish, but keeps going past 0609, an infomercial and mentions being
a TV offer. Roughly south with KAAY nulled at first during its dead
air. Anyhow, no sign of KEXS 10 kW MO daytimer which had been
all-nightly for quite a while. The SS is most likely XEAU Monterrey
NL, or maybe XEWL Nuevo Laredo, Tamps., but neither is supposed to be
on now per sked in IRCA Mexican Log: XEAU until 0600, XEWL until 0200;
even allowing for DST, Mex skeds are notoriously unreliable (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1090, Oct 17 at 0603, that mattress infomercial in Spanish
again plugging how wonderful it is for your spine, etc., maybe runs
every night at this time for those who can`t sleep; from the south, so
likely XEAU Monterrey; bothered by 1089 TA het, but 1090 KAAY pretty
much nulled. I really need to tune in a bit earlier for an ID (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2004, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1090, Oct 19 at 0502, tonight I`m tuning an hour
earlier to
get a headstart before the mattress TV infomercial I`ve been hearing
after 0600 --- but it`s already running now! And I`ve missed another
ToH ID, if any. Maybe all-mattress-all-the-time? Or late for those who
can`t sleep well on their awful mattresses. La Voz del Colchón,
or Radio Colchón Internacional? I continue to think it`s XEAU,
Monterrey NL. KAAY off the side must be nulled, and hope there be no
KEXS or anything else closer to the axis. But there is still that TA
carrier pest on 1089, or really the seven UK Talksport synchros
adding up to 722 kW --- not including the 0 kW from the one in the
Chunnel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1130, Oct 14 at 0555 UT, ``tropical`` music from SW/NE,
as KWKH Shreveport is unusually weak and easily nulled. Spanish on
this frequency unusual; 0557 UT timecheck for 12:57, so in UT-5 CDT
zone same as here, but no ID copied as KWKH resurges by 0600 UT.
NRC AM Log has a few US SS on 1130: KSDO San Diego but wrong timezone
and SS:REL; WYXE Gallatin TN right zone but wrong direxion and SS:REL
daytimer; KTMR Converse (Houston) TX, SS:REL, wrong direxion, and 25
kW daytimer; WLBA Gainesville GA, not REL but 10 kW daytimer wrong
direxion; closest Mexidirexion would be XEHN Nogales, Sonora but UT
-7. IRCA Mexican Log has two other iffies in Guanajuato, Michoacán,
leaving the most likely, altho really more SSW than SW from here, but
in correct timezone:
``1130 XECHAP Mex Chapingo 10000 5000 Radio Chapingo EDU/CAR CP (2017)
for XEUACH-1610 to move here replacing XETOL which moved to FM.
Station web site 8/19 said transmissions will start on 1130 kHz
(daytime only [sic] 1300-0100) on 10/4/2019`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1130, Oct 16 at 0556 UT, Spanish past 0600, nulling KWKH
favors SW, but now peaking this signal at SSW rather than SW, further
pointing to the new XECHAP, Chapingo EdoMex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1130, Oct 19 at 0601, not much can be extracted with KWKH
nulled as much as possible, but think I hear ``Radio-Activa`` which
may or may not be an ID slogan. Trying to nail down a definite XECHAP,
new station supposed to have just started (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. From 0123 UT Oct 13: Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier
search, a good idea as Jim Renfrew, NY has been reporting lots of
stuff now and recently: this on the handheld DX-398 to be sure they
DF approx. NE if not SW, but facing lots of splatter from those pesky
North Americans on even frequencies:
612, 621, 693, 774, 783, 837, 855, 882, 936(2), 999, 1017, 1053, 1062,
1089, 1125, 1179, 1215, 1296(2), 1305, 1413, 1422, 1503, 1512.
(I also have off-frequency-minus hets below 774 and 1548, but as
previously divined, those two are harmonically related to each other
and to 387-, so something local; never mind. DF on these is N/S)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 13 at
0606-0613 UT, still before sunrise in W Europe, less than 5 hours
after the previous one on the DX-398, now on the R-75 with E/W
longwire: 1215, 1152, 1134, 1125, 1098, 1089, 1044, 1026, 936, 909,
882, 855, 846(TP Kiritimati?), 774(2), 756, 747, 729, 711, 693, 621,
612(2), 585, 567, 558(2), 531; 1314, 1413 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Awake by 1215 UT October 16 presunrise 1239, I might as
well do a Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier scan, on the DX-398 for DFing,
and wow, are there lots of them. Those with no direxion are too weak
or more likely both NW and WSW. If a beat is detectable, (2).
774 and 747 are strong enough to detect some talk by W voice, but will
not assume Japanese, since could be during NHK language lesson.
774-NW, 765(2), 756-NW, 747-NW, 738-NW, 729-NW, 711-NW, 702-NW (2),
693-NW, 675-NW, 666-NW, 657-NW>WSW (2), 621-NW, 612-NW, 603-NW,
594-NW, 585-WSW, 567(2), 558-NW.
Now from 1226, upward from 774: 792-NW, 828-NW, 837, 846, 864-NW,
873-NW, 882-NW, 891, 918-NW, 972-NW, 981-NW, 1017-WSW, 1035-WSW&NW,
1044-NW, 1053, 1098-W&NW, 1134-NW, 1143-NW, 1197-NW, 1206-NW, 1287-NW,
1296, 1331-NW, 1413-NW, 1422, 1476, 1503-WSW, 1548-WSW, 1566-NW, until
1241.
1206 was noticeably off-frequency-minus. MWoffsets suggests:
1205.96 CHN Yanbian RGD Korean News General (Yanji/Longjing) 2000-1600
2016-08-09`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 17 at 0310: I
am not digging quite as deep as usual for JJBBA carriers, but still
come up with: 531, 612, 621, 693, 702, 711, 774(2), 819, 837(2),
855(2), 882, 909, 936, 954, 999, 1053, 1062, 1089, 1098, 1107(2),
1152.
On 774 I could make out some talk modulation at 0314, presumably the
megawatt from Egypt altho there are 8 medium-power Spaniards on 774.
We seem to be at the autumnal peak of TA and TP MW DX, but maybe not
for much longer with A and K indices building up to 25 and 5 by Oct
25, per WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2004, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 18 at 1244, I`m
on 1566 from the NW to observe a signal drop when HLAZ used to change
beams from thisaway to thataway, but it seems about the same with a
little fading --- o, I must have misremembered, as WRTH shows the
switch from Japanese to Chinese is at 1345, not 1245. For that we`ll
have to wait for later sunrise here, close to 1345 around Epiphany.
Others now: 1098-W, 1026-WSW, 972-NW, 882, 828-NW, 774-NW, 747-NW,
693-NW, 594-NW until 1252 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
