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 332,000 views! as of January 6, 2019]

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. Re my latest log of 540 XETX, Chihuahua, Raymie Humbert 
replies Dec 30 on the WTFDA AM Forum: ``The IFT still hasn't done its 
continuity study, and in the case of XETX the AM covers a net 55,000 
more people than the 71,000 in XHTX-FM's contour. I doubt that there 
is other radio service to cover all of them`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 2 at 0641-0656 
UT. Usually I tune 1 kHz below on USB in 9-kHz steps to detect those 1 
kHz hets, but this time I do it 1 kHz above on LSB, which might turn 
up some different close-in carriers. I happen to start at 693, 
downward and then back up but here rearranged into order: 

531, 549, 558(2), 576, 585, 603, 612, 621, 639, 648, 666, 693, 729, 
747, 774(2), 837, 855, 882, 909, 936, 1044, 1089, 1098, 1107(2), 1116, 
1125(2), 1134, 1143(2), 1152(2), 1179(2), 1215(2), 1224, 1233, 1305(2 
~5 Hz apart), 1314, 1359, 1422, 1485(2), 1503, 1575.

For 1305, mwoffset list shows most likely RNE Radio 5, Spain, with one 
transmitter 5 Hz low and a couple close to nominal:
1304.9950 E RNE Radio 5 (Ourense/Pereiro (RNE))       24h 2015-10-12 
1304.9999 E RNE Radio 5 (Bilbao/Santo Domingo (RNE5)) 24h 2018-02-16 
1305.000  E RNE Radio 5 (Ciudad Real/Almagro (RNE))   24h 2011-05-23 	
There are also some less likely synchros, Premier Christian Radio, UK.

In addition I had some odd hits at 0646, approx.: 944.055, and shortly 
1054.19, i.e. ~1 kHz off the bandplan, where no stations are known, so 
presumably somethings receiver-internal or local devices; or real 
spurs? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
