[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, July 10-16, 2015



--- Begin Message ---
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

** MEXICO. 540, July 12 at 0548 UT, Top-40 music beat, slightly clockwise from south, i.e. XEWA, Los Cuarenta Principales, San Luís Potosí; rather than the usual dominator on 540, XETX, La Ranchera de Paquimé, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua; what`s happened? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 560, July 16 at 1100 UT, full ID for ``La Tremenda``, NA, i.e. XESRD, Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango, 10/1 kW per Cantú and IRCA, which shows sign-on at 1200, which would be correct in winter. Have heard it a few times before but not a regular (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 630, July 16 at 1103 UT, XEFB opening `Radar 63` morning news, from ``Grupo Radio México, Monterrey``. Fair but never a bigsig here; it`s one of few Mexicans with a direxional antenna. NRC Pattern Book shows at night, major lobe is due west; day pattern, probably on already, is broader to the southwest, and not a notch to the north, 10/10 kW. 

Its offspring, XEFB-TV has been a TV DX regular here for many years on channel 3 and then channel 2, ``TELEACTIVA`` tentatively seen as recently as June 17, 2015 before the digital transition (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 690, July 12 at 0600 UT, full ID for XEN in México DF, ``100,000 watts`` a Grupo Radio Centro station. Yes, but --- at night it`s supposed to cut to only 5 kW. I wouldn`t be surprised if it`s more than that, as it easily dominates 690 over Cuba or anything else, such as the open carrier from KS, KGGF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 690, July 16 at 1114 UT, ``107.1 FM y 690 AM``, roughly southwest, QRM from another Spanish. By now it may be too late for DF or NL at lowband, and that FM/AM combo leads only to: XEMA, La Mejor, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, 50/2 kW, and likely already on day power. Enid SR today is 1126 UT, definitely latening past Solstice, currently at the rate of 5 minutes per week {Ironic how much of our XE MW DX IDs now depend on matching FM frequencies, where AMs are encouraged to ``migrate``} (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 720, July 12 at 0554 UT, automated timecheck for 12:54, and 105.7 La Grande(?) ID, making 4 Hz SAH with WGN. Must have been really said ``La Kaliente``, as this is surely still XEDE Saltillo, Coahuila. Would-be WGN listeners can`t wait for this one to migrate to FM-only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1060v, July 16 at 1120 UT, off-frequency station from the south, 1127 detectable as Spanish, so presumably XERDO Reynosa etc., Tamaulipas. More notable is that I still am NOT hearing anything from 1060v KIJN, Farwell TX on the NM border: see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
