[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, March 11-17, 2016

--- 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:
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/page45
 
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-75Â E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire

** MEXICO [and non]. 720, March 13 at 1308 UT, romantic music in Spanish from WSW, surely XEJCC Ciudad JuÃrez, now known as El FonÃgrafo; with Spanish CCI from more to the south, 1311 UT ``La EstaciÃn de la Raza``, i.e. KSAH Universal City/San Antonio TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1030, March 13 at 0122, I find some Spanish dominant, PSA for Mexican maestros, probably from the SEP tho not heard credited, and another PSA, then 0123 mentions ``Radio FÃrmula Monterrey 7-70``. As I try to DF it, losing out to English political talk NW/SE, presumably KTWO WY, and also another SS. I would assume this is XEYC in Ciudad JuÃrez, Chihuahua, the only FÃrmula listed on 1030, and which I used to get regularly; except this item via DXLD 16-07 said XEYC had moved to 1460:

``Changes at Grupo Radio MÃxico, Ciudad JuÃrez:
 720 XEJCC El FonÃgrafo, ex Extremo 7-20
 970 XEJ R MÃxico Noticias, ex La J Mexicana
1190 XEPZ R Centro, ex R NorteÃa
1240 XEWG La Jefa, ex Cambio 12-40
1300 XEP R Mexicana ex R 13
1460 XEYC R FÃrmula, ex 1030 kHz 
(HÃctor GarcÃa Bojorge via Mauno Ritola, WRTH via Central [sic] 
American News, ed. Tore Larsson, Feb MW News via DXLD)

I had been hearing R. FÃrmula Noticias, XEYC on 1030 as recently as Dec 29. 1460 would certainly be a clearer spot for it, with only 4 
Mexicans already listed there, and nothing else in the tri-state area. 
But not for here: XEYC often dominated 1030 over KTWO or anything else. I had also been hearing FonÃgrafo on 720, Centro on 1190 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

So what is going on here? If XEYC really vacated 1030, could XEACH 770 Monterrey have moved to 1030 yet not updated their ID??? Unlikely, and MTY has big guns on 990 and 1050. Maybe FÃrmula 770 in MTY was simply mentioned in a promo on the entire network out of XERFR 970 DF? In any event, there is obviously still a FÃrmula on 1030, so what else if not XEYC JuÃrez? {a DXer in El Paso could tell us}

XEYC is nowhere to be found in this station list
http://www.gradiomex.com/estaciones-por-ciudad/
nor do they have any Radio FÃrmulas, so maybe GRM has nothing to do with the station on 1030. 

The Radio FÃrmula website
http://www.radioformula.com.mx/
is no help at all in finding affiliates around the country.

BTW, WRTH 2016 keys 1030 XEYC as CH26, but that leads to a station addressed in Ojinaga/Presidio TX, some mixup there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1521.0, March 13 at 0118, JBA het against KOKC 1520.0 OKC with silly Capitol Hill HS football game, no doubt the 2-megawatt, BSKSA TA beacon from Duba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANGUILLA. 11775, March 15 at 2036, Caribbean Beacon remains off as it has been all day. But night frequency 6090 is on March 16 circa 0607 when I`m also hearing PMS on 1610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
