[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, November 12-29, 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 321,000 views! as of November 30, 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 00-foot E-W longwire.

** CUBA. 530, Nov 21 at 0259, silly ballgame in Spanish // 5025 
Rebelde, mixing with the EZL music from Enciclopedia. Two Rebeldes are 
listed, GuantÃnamo and Caribe, Isla Juventud, and I`ll settle for the 
closer. Also considerable het from 531: see ALGERIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALGERIA. 531, Nov 21 at 0300, considerable het to Cubans on 530, as 
I am starting a TA JBA carrier bandscan [see UNIDENTIFIED], and this 
turns out to be the strongest, with some music separable from 530, as 
always presumed to be the 600 kW Jil FM [sic], youth channel at 
F`Kirina, which is near the Tunisian border, 8899 km or 5529 statute 
miles from here. Nothing much on its 600 kW // 549 however, 551 km 
closer near the Moroccan border at Sidi Hamadouche (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 700, Nov 29 at 1304, YL in unknown language, partly Spanish 
mentioning ``Desarrollo de Pueblos IndÃgenas``, which is the federal 
agency running native stations I love to hear, then definite IDs 
pronounced in Spanish, XEETCH heard twice, and La Voz de los Tres 
Rios. That`s the 5 kW daytimer in Etchojoa, Sonora. Has growing SAH of 
128/min = 2.13 Hz in plain Spanish, likely XEGD in Hidalgo del Parral, 
Chihuahua (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 810, Nov 29 at 1308, looping SW, Mexican NA by 
kidchorus is playing; running late? 1310 losing to WHB and can`t make 
out an ID before ``-AM`` in Spanish. Then some Xmasmx, Greensleeves, 
1316 Merry Little Xmas in English so probably a third station. The 
only Mexfit is XERSV, Tribuna R., Ciudad ObregÃn, Sonora, 5 kW 
daytimer. (Tim Hall has confirmed that XESB in Chihuahua is gone.) 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 820, Nov 29 at 1321, canned YL ID as ``Canal Ochocientos 
Veinte, ABC Radio`` and back to romantic music, easily separable from 
WBAP at the moment, just before LSR of 1321 UT. It`s XEABCA in 
Mexicali BCN, which really gets out, and frequently non-IDs (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 15 at 0220- 
UT: 531, 549, 576, 585, 621, 638, 684* vs WSCR IBOC, 738, 774(2), 837, 
855(2), 864, 882, 936, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1098(2), 1107, 1125, 1206(2), 
1413. *stronger; (2)=at least two carriers beating.

TA JBA MW carrier search, Nov 15 at 0642- UT: 585, 612, 621, 693(2), 
711, 729, 774(2), 837, 846, 855, 882, 909, 936, 999, 1026, 1098, 1125, 
1179, 1215, 1314 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA carrier search, Nov 21 from 0301: 531 
[see ALGERIA], 557(2), 621, 639, 693, 747, 774, 819, 837, 855, 909, 
936(2), 999, 1026(2), 1089, 1134, 1152, 1215, 1575 (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, a good time to 
check as coastal (east and west) DXers are reporting plenty, Nov 28 at 
0240-0248: 531* with bit of audio Algerien, 585, 612(2), 621, 693*, 
729, 738, 747, 774*(2), 855, 864, 882*, 909, 936, 999, 1044, 1053, 
1089(2), 1125, 1161, 1179, 1215, 1341. *=stronger ones; (2)=at least 
two carriers beating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Nov 29 at 1256-
1302, all roughly NW u.o.s.: 594, 693, 747, 774, 828, 837, 882(2), 
972, 1098-W?, 1134, 1143 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1521, Nov 28 at 2044 UT, on my MW bandscan in western 
Enid, KOKC OKC has a JBA het upon it! Roughly 1 kHz, but I can`t tell 
exactly on caradio and whether it`s 1519 or 1521. Could the 2-megawatt 
Saudi be propagating this early? 

On NRD at home Nov 29 at 0044 UT, het is definitely from 1521. KSA 
quit running all-night and should be off by now unless that has 
changed. TA carriers are certainly in now on a quick check of 1215, 
1089, 882, 855, 774, 693.

ZNS 1540 Bahamas has also been reported spurious circa 1521 and 1559. 
Or it could yet be something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)
