--- Begin Message --- 
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 asÂ
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/page28

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. 870, Nov 27 at 1303, Mexican choral NA is playing, replacing weak Vietnamese from The Metroplex I had been hearing before 1300. At 1304, XETAR Guachochi, Chihuahua sign-on, first by M in Spanish, then by W in presumed Tarahumara --- and then another M in apparent third language [see below]. Many IDs follow, by calls and by La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara. 1305 local vocal ensemble starts singing same national anthem in non-Spanish, but faded down for more talk in Spanish, station`s mission statement, etc. 

1306 mentions 10,000 watts on AM 870 and NO mention of any FM which I thought I heard previously; and via complicated website ``llegamos a todos los paÃses del mundo``. Sked is still 12 hours daily 6 am to 6 pm. Complicated e-mail address; 1308 heard ``interval signal`` of percussion for second time, not exactly drumming. 1309 talk in TT with heavy echo imposed, 6:08 TC in Spanish, temp -4 (brrr ---- latitude is less than 27 N = further south than Okeechobee, but altitude is 2.4 km = 7874 feet, higher than Santa Fe); 1311 history of station, started in 1982y on 860 with 5 kW; at some point stayed on air until 8 pm; 1314 starting to fade. So now is good time to get this on SRS: Enid sunrise today 1321, with another 25 minutes to go before its latest in early January. 

XETAR website with much more info is:

including about languages: ``Un claro propÃsito de la XETAR es el fortalecimiento de las lenguas indÃgenas. AsÃ, promueve el rarÃmuri (o tarahumara), el odami (o tepehuano) y el oâoba (o pima) en sus transmisiones diarias`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A [and non]. 1000, Nov 26 at 0642 UT, with KTOK OKC nulled, hearing not only the usual Mexican music from XEFV JuÃrez, but also some sports talk in English: don`t see how this could be anything but WMVP Chicago despite unfavorable nite pattern. Also ~1 Hz SAH but not clear between which pair of the trio. 0659 UT try to get an ID of sports station, but mainly Mexican dominating with JuÃrez mention again at 0702. Now I measure the SAH at 42/minute = 0.7 Hz. Anyhow, no KKIM NM which would be preaching, evidently no longer cheating with 10 kW ND day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
