[IRCA] Mostly Mexican [sic] MW DX to Enid OK, October 20-26, 2018

--- 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:
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxldmid.html

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

[over 315,000 views! as of October 26, 2018]

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.

** MEXICO. 820, Oct 25 at 1255, 7 minutes after LSR, the lower XE 
frequencies have already outfaded, but this is still in with romantic 
music vs WBAP nulled, presumed XEABCA Mexicali, but fades/loses out to 
WBAP before any ToH ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 21 at 0330-
0340 UT, all on the DX-398 with DF roughly NE (nevermind SW): 531, 
549, 558, 585, 621, 693(2), 702, 837, 846, 855(2), 873, 882(2), 909, 
946, 963=despite local 960 splash, 999, 1017, 1026, 1044(2), 1053(2), 
1089, 1098(2), 1107, 1134, 1152, 1161, 1215, 1224, 1296+ (nothing 
known significantly off+plus), 1314, 1341, 1413, 1422, 1458, 1485, 
1503, 1521, 1548, 1575.

Then on the adjacent NRD-545 with ALA-330S antenna E-W, I check out 
some of the better prospects, employing PBT, narrow bandwidth, and 
manage to pull a little bit of audios:

1044, Oct 21 at 0353, talk sounds Spanish: there are two SER stations 
in SPAIN, but only 10 and 5 kW; presumably the 300 kW Moroccan is 
still inactive. In fact I am getting two carriers beating, as in MW 
Offsets about 8 Hz apart:

1043.9951 SER (Valladolid)          [range: 1043.9946-] 24h 2016-10-04 
1044.0028 SER (San SebastiÃn/Monte Igueldo)[1044.0017-] 24h 2017-03-27 

1215, Oct 21 at 0400 talk, surely Absolute Radio, UK synchros, 
originally 14 of them, adding up to 560 kW per WRTH 2018 (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 22 from 1228 
UT, this time for a change on the R75 with E-W longwire instead of DX
-398, so I can`t check direxions: 531, 585, 594*, 612, 657(2), 702, 
711, 747*, 756, 774*, 819(2), 828, 837, 855, 873, 882, 945, 972*, 
1008, 1017, 1035, 1044, 1062, 1098, 1143, 1179, 1197 but none higher; 
now it`s 1236 as the lower ones are weakening but I still have 891(2), 
945(2). *means stronger ones; (2) means at least two carriers beating. 
LSR today: 1245 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 24 at 0448-
0456, on the DX-398, everything roughly from NE u.o.s.: 1413, 1314, 
1305, 1224, 1215*, 1152(2), 1125(2), 1089, 1062(2), 1053, 1044, 1026, 
963, 954(2), 936, 909, 837, 774, 738, 702, 639, 603(2), 585, 558, 549, 
531. At 0459 check a few more: 1116, 1107, 1053(2), 954. *strongest; 
(2)=at least two carriers beating. (I also had carrier on low side of 
774-, looping N/S, probably local device.)(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 25 at 1240-1254
