--- Begin Message --- 
These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also VHF/UHF, sometimesÂutility, 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 open access:

[over 187,000 views as of Dec 29, 2016]

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-75Â E-W longwire

** CUBA [and non]. 530, Dec 27 at 0320, surprised to hear Spanish talk about bÃisbol, R. Rebelde // 1180 and a bit of an echo against // 5025. Atop music from presumed R. Enciclopedia, which is normally dominant, listed 10 kW from nearest Villa MarÃa, Ciudad de la Habana. WRTH 2017 shows two Rebeldes on 530: unknown power in Caribe, Isla de Juventud, and 1 kW in far GuantÃnamo. 

Rebelde is also atop my local Vance AFB TIS with fake call K530AM, announced at irregular intervals, among still running continuous PSA loops, including what to do when a hurricane is approaching. Oklahoma?

At same time on E-W antenna, 590 is dominated by music, presumably 25 kW Radio Musical Nacional, La Julia, Mayabeque (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA. 530, Dec 28 at 0153, soft piano version of ``Yesterday``, so R. Enciclopedia regains dominance, no sign of R. Rebelde on 530 as heard 22.5 hours ago. Original format was presenting bits of spoken knowledge as the name implies, but strangely kept the name with flip to EZL music. Do they have any informational shows or segments when we don`t hear them? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** MEXICO. 730, Dec 24 at 0151, three canned ``[E]stereo Fiesta, 107.1 FM, 700-30 AM`` IDs by super-hype voice actor within two minutes, as XEHB Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua is now known, outdating WRTH 2017 already on this which still shows ``Ke Buena``; and IRCA Mexican Log 2015 with that plus ``Viva Villa``. Axually, this is hardly news, first reported in August *2015*, NRC IDXD by John Wilkins, CO:

``730 MEXICO XEHB Hidalgo del Parral, Chih. AUG 6 1150 - Orchestral anthem followed by FM-only ID at 1151: "Escucha Estereo Fiesta XEHB-FM Estereo Fiesta..."; also gave address on Ortiz Mena Boulevard and mentioned Grupo Radiorama; back to music after the ID. Good signal and alone on the frequency, probably already on 25 kW day power. New slogan, ex-R. Viva Villa, ex-La Ke Buena. [Wilkins-CO]``

XEHB is totally and typically dominating frequency on caradio, forget XEX or any other NAFTA country, and obviously on 50 kW day power instead of 1 kW night as listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 770, Dec 24 at 0257 explaining what a Villancico is, 0259 ID as ``Radio FÃrmula de Monterrey``, i.e. XEACH, 25/1 kW. Dominant on my N/S antenna, while KKOB is on the E/W, see USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search December 23, UT:
At 1323, 702-WSW, 657-WSW, 612-WSW
At 1326, 792-WSW
At 1328, 1566-NW until cut at 1344:35*, usual time for HLAZ language/beam switch from Japan to China (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
