[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, December 24-30, 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 329,000 views! as of December 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 100-foot E-W longwire.

** MEXICO. 540, Dec 20 at 1333, XETX, La Ranchera de PaquimÃ, Nuevo 
Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, plugging now being also on FM (90.5). New 
IRCA Mexican Log says per IFT it will be staying on AM; as usual 
manages to dominate 540 here around SRS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521, Dec 28 at 1910, JBA carrier hetting 1520 KOKC 
OKC, earlier than ever only 38 minutes after local mean noon here, but 
2 megawatts into lowsun ionosphere presumably propagates it well into 
Western daytime. I am open to any other explanation of why such a 
carrier should show up here in the afternoon hours before sunset, and 
not in the evening when we know Duba is off overnight. Despite WRTH 
2019 as 1500-0300, MWlist shows 1700-2230 only, with all MW & SW //s:

Bearing from here is about 38 degrees, but probably too weak to DF. 
Path crosses Hadrian`s Wall, as far north as 59 degrees N, just south 
of Iceland & Greenland, where it`s already post-sunset (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 25 from 0604: 
531, 549, 558, 612, 621, 648, 666, 693*, 711, 774, 837, 846, 882, 909, 
1017, 1044, 1089, 1107, 1215, 1413, 1512. *=strongest but still can`t 
pull audio. I was encouraged to do this upon hearing a het upon 1090 
without really trying (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 27 at 2306-
2319. Again after first noticing a 1 kHz het upon 1090 without really 
trying: 531, 549, 621, 684, 774, 837, 882, 909, 999, 1044, 1053, 1089, 
1215, 1413, 1431. This time I`m using the JRC with N/S inside 
shortwire (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Dec 30 at 1320, not 
a full bandscan but checking some likely spots: 837 (maybe megawatt 
CNR5 in Fujian), while the major NHKs are not audible); 1098-west, 
surely Marshall Islands carrier. At 1329 now I have traces from the NW 
of NHK on 828, 774, 693, 594; and Korea South on 1566 (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
