[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, May 10-16, 2013

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only. Or FRG-7, Sony SRF-59 when specified.

These logs are excerpts from my daily all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also VHF/UHF, sometimes, utility, ham, which may be found in several archives without much delay, such as

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:

** MEXICO [and non]. 660, May 16 at 0502 UT, haven`t looked for the hummer lately, but there it is, mixed with `The Answer` = KSKY The Metroplex; previously tracked to XEFZ Monterrey NL, which leaves a hummy carrier on after NA, sign-off circa 0500; Optimod presumably maxing out on the `silent` STL feed. And the DF fits (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 960, May 13 at 0501:25 UT, KGWA Fox-hole of dead air except for hum when nulled, audiblized a mixture of stuff including ABC news, but clearly heard at this moment are the four descending ``XEW`` chimes which we know come on 960 from XEK in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. KGWA Enid continues to fill the hole unpredictably but most nights is clear for a pentaminute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1000, May 16 at 0540 UT, ``La Rancherita Mil AM, Ciudad Juárez``, i.e. XEFV. No problem from KTOK OKC, which was on low power and/or not modulating, as I first noted a few minutes earlier on the bathroom radio when I could not hear it, despite WKY 930 loud as usual. XEFV can normally be heard at night with KTOK nulled on the DX-398 close to 90 degrees away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
