[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, July 4-10, 2014

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
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:
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page24

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified

** MEXICO. 710-, July 8 at 0601 UT, again off-frequency het to the lo side of KCMO. The pitch is hard to pin down on my keyboard, but tentatively circa F#3 below Middle C, which is 185 Hz. Choral Mexican NA is playing, which means it`s in the UT -6 zone, fitting for the WSW DF. 0605 multiverse NA finally ends, and on to ``Soy Soldado`` super-patriotic, ultra-military recitation; 0608 Chihuahua state anthem, now overcoming KCMO even with AM tuning rather than LSB. Therefore it has to be XEDP, La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc, IRCA-listed day power of 5 kW and unknown at night or whether 24 hours. WRTH 2014 says 7 kW day, 100 watts night! XEDP is also a common catch around sunrise with much better reception, but when last heard some months ago was not audibly off-frequency.

710.0, July 9 at 0554 UT, Mexican NA is ending, fanfare and into `Soy Soldado` recitation, 0558 Chihuahua state anthem. XEDP, Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, again going thru the same routine as last night but now 10 minutes earlier. AND, tonight it`s not off-frequency to approx. 709.815 making an audible het, but within subaudible-het range of KCMO; did they read my report in the meantime? But I think it has jumped off and on frequency before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 760, July 5 at 0306 UT, no WJR, but dominant signal on caradio is Mexican, ad mentioning Parral, PSAs. However, there is no 760 in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua; likely the usual occupant, XEES, Antena 7-60 in Chihuahua city, tho listed by IRCA as only 500 watts at night, 1000 day. WRTH 2014, however says 10 kW fulltime, which is more like it, ``Antena Musical``. Cantú says 10/1 kW without the Musical. Take your pick (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
