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:

All my MW DX reports starting August 2011 are archived in this forum with open access:

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
** NICARAGUA [and non]. 720, Aug 28 at 1042 UT, more than one Spanish station with WGN nulled as much as possible. One requests, ``oremos, oremos`` (let us pray x 2), so I suspect it`s R. Católica in Managua; 1046 a mention of ``fútbol mexicano``, so is that an XE or non? Then a Radio Católica ID in passing. Listed as 25 kW, YNA3RC. It`s rare here to hear any LA on MW beyond Mexico and Cuba.
Meanwhile the inimitable Órion Samuelson is on WGN talking with morning YL host, about going to some farm event in Decatur. She calls him twice ``Big O`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 840, last week`s R. Fórmula turns out to be USA, so see DOMESTIC report
** MEXICO [and non]. 960, Aug 25 at 0503 UT during local KGWA Fox-hole of open carrier/dead air, after Mexican NA, XEK Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas calls itself ``La Estación Grande``. It`s interesting how during this pentaminute, sometimes XEK dominates, sometimes ABC News reverbing between San Angelo and Shenandoah, but no sign of them tonight or lately. Is it just propagation, or are the US stations sometimes out of whack, audiblizing themselves? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 970, Aug 28 at 1103 UT, Mexican NA to full ID by XEJ, Juárez, ``La Jota Mexicana``, so they are antheming at 5 am local instead of 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1510-, Aug 23 at 0132 UT, Mexican music vs WLAC, making low rumble SAH, very slightly on the lo side. 0133 UT, SHVA (super-hype voice actor) in what sounds like a full ID with slogans, but too much QRM and fade to make anything out. Rough DF for it maybe NE/SW, and best with WLAC nulled, which means aiming N/S.
So what is it not? KNNS in Larned KS which flipped off Spanish in March. Last year`s NRC AM Log shows three of the 1510 Texans in Spanish, but as daytimers should be off by 0100 or 0115 UT in August per FCC AM Query (admittedly an often unwarranted assumption).
IRCA Mexican Log shows a good possibility, a new radio station I was unaware of, XEQI, La Nueva Radio in Monterrey NL, listed as 50 kW day power, cutting to 250 watts at night. Need to keep after this one! BTW, no higher het, lower below 1510 at this time from KCTE, Independence MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1736, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
