** MEXICO. XERF, 1570, dominating the channel at 2150 UT Jan 5, in show ``El Baúl de los Recuerdos`` (The Trunk of Memories), presenting only female singers of the 60s. Ran late so Big-Ben style hourtop 16 chimes did not appear until 2201, `4 en punto`, yeah, sure. Reception was axually worse by then, still an hour before sunset, because other skywave was building up from peanut-power US stations, but there are so many of them! Could not catch axual XERF ID, maybe during fade, but did get `100,000 vatios` and an apparent toll-free 866- number, mention of IMER, the Mexican government agency which runs it (and used to run XERMX); after 2202 into news, ``Última Hora`` (Glenn Hauser, caradio, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. KEOR, Catoosa/Sperry/Tulsa OK, 1120, had kept on with nothing but music tests for weeks and weeks, but missing Jan 3 at 1937 check, allowing KMOX to just barely be heard as its skywave was starting to build. We shall see if KEOR be off for good again. Still off at 1750 UT check Jan 4.

KEOR, 1120, Catoosa, missing for the third day in a row, Jan 5 at 2100 UT; but I am only making one brief check sometime during the days. Henceforth it will be news if it is back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WBAP, 820, with IBOC noise on 830 (too much Kansas City on 810 to tell the other side on caradio), Jan 5 at 2147 UT; so they are still running it at least daytimes, nights not checked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1680, Tue Jan 6 at 0703 UT check was not even in news, but black gospel music, no doubt KRJO Monroe LA, which tends to be the dominant 1680 here at night. On UT Sunday I had heard Tom Leykis talkshow later in the same hour from unknown source. Perhaps the only solution will come from monitoring one week later than that, unless it was a total fluke (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
