[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, November 3-11, 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:

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

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 00-foot E-W longwire.

** MEXICO. 570, Nov 3 at 0251, ranchera music dominates, ``en BJB, tu 
mÃsica regional mexicana``, easily overcoming KLIF, DFW, which goes 
out every which way but north; i.e. XEBJB, Monterrey NL, non-
direxional and looks like it will not abandon AM. ``Regional`` could 
mean anything, depending on what region (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 702, Nov 3 at 1237 on the R75, two carriers making a 1 
Hz beat, so that doesn`t fit for 2BL NSW and Magic NZ, 3 or 6 Hz 
apart. MWoffsets doesn`t offer something likely 1 Hz away from 2BL 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 774, Nov 9 at 1238, via DX-398 with internal antenna only, 
NHK-2 with enough audio to hear English lesson with Japanese mixed --- 
our #1 TP signal, 500 kW JOUB, Akita. See UNIDENTIFIED for all the JBA 
carriers too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 882, Nov 3 at 0230, some music detectable, presumably 
the 100+ kW BBC Wales synchros (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 936, Nov 3 at 0230, two carriers beating, Morocco, and what? There are 
3 x 20 kW Radio 5 in Spain. Much further there are hi-power ME 
stations. This time I have skipped a full TA carrier bandscan and 
honed in on some stronger ones into the R75 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

Oh Glenn, as for your "NNW" 945 (I think) mystery station carrier catch: bear in mind that in 2013 during my trip to China, I found out that the Chinese station listings in the WRTH on SW and MW is not at all complete -- and this goes back to 2013 and still in 2018!  

For instance (and one example of many): 981 kHz has at least FIVE or SIX CNR-1 "echoing stations" as I heard while in Xian in Nov. 2013, yet the WRTH only lists TWO of them on 981 in China.  

Therefore, if you think you might have caught a carrier from a *western Chinese* station rather than the more "NW" signal from Jilin Province, you likely caught an unlisted transmitter not shown in WRTH.  
Thanks again, (Steve McGreevy, http://www.auroralchorus.com

UNIDENTIFIED. 972, Nov 3 at 1242 UT, some talk modulation detectable 
on the DX-398, presumably the bigsig from sesquimegawatt HLCA of KBS, 
Korea South; 12 kHz from a local on 960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

I LOVE your JBA TP/TA carrier scans! I think it would be so cool to be in a place where you can catch both TAs and TPs, even if weak. Studying such carriers is as enlightening as the audio enjoyment of armchair signals. BCB-carrier observations tell a lot, and those that can measure BCB and SW station frequencies to 1 Hz really help, and thusly we gain this info. And the beat-frequencies of various SAHs (like 747!) .Thanks again, (Steve McGreevy, http://www.auroralchorus.com Natural VLF Radio and Travel, Nov 4, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Nov 9 at 1241-1253, 
after first hearing audio from always checked first, 774 JAPAN, q.v.: 
567-NW, 594-NW, 603-NW, 612-NW, 693-NW, 738-NW, 747-NW, 828-NW, 873-
NW, 882(2), 936-NW, 945-NW, 1008-NW(2), 1017, 1044-NW, 1098-NW(2), 
1134-NW, 1548-WSW, 1566-NW. By the time I`ve finished, 774 has faded 
down quite. Local sunrise: 1303 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
