[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, December 18-24, 2015

--- 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 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: 
http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?6543-MW-DX-from-Enid-OK-by-Glenn-Hauser/page42

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; ICR-75 with E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire

** MEXICO. 660, Dec 24 at 0519, Spanish station mentions ``Grupo RadiofÃnico Zer``, then plug for some holiday event in Aguascalientes on 5 de enero, and a long string of federal PSAs including CÃmara de Diputadas y Diputados (women finally get first billing in MÃxico! But I bet they are still a minority); SecretarÃa de Salud; CNDH (National Human Rights Commission); Senado about the ``catastrophe`` of global warming (imagine the denialist Republican-controlled U.S. Senate saying something like that!), still PSAs at 0523 as somestation in English is gaining, KSKY? Anyhow, the Ags station on 660 is 50/10 kW XEEY, and indeed is affiliated with Zer per the new IRCA Mexican Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 783.00, Dec 23 at 0409, JBA carrier on this TA-split frequency, likely MAURITANIA, if they are on all-night, and WRTH 2016 says they are; 50 kW. Checked some other 9-kHz Eurafrican channels in the 600s and 700s, but nothing else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830, Dec 24 at 0602 UT, last few strains of choral Mexican NA among the mix as I am nulling signal already reduced from WCCO with CBS News --- so Spanish here doesn`t have to be WFNO Norco LA. Ten XEs are listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 900, Dec 18 at 1305, ``Siempre 88.9`` newscast about the ``apagÃn analÃgico``, i.e. DTV conversion, starting with a jingle about it, and mentioning the cutoff as of Dec 31, which is really no longer to be enforced; trying to find a DTV set at two publicized locations without success, out of stock. 

Anyhow, this is presumably XEOK in Monterrey NL, as in DXLD 13-38 we researched that the national newscast originating at 88.9 in MÃxico DF, an Acir group station, would lead only to XEOK as an affiliate on 900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
