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

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:

** MEXICO. July 14 at 1110 UT, I happen to awaken, and instead of immediately turning over for another two hours, I turn on and tune in for some long-missed sunrise skip (SRS) from MÃxico, since my sunrise is not until 1125 today. As for SR in various Mexican cities, incredibly, 
http://www.gaisma.com/en/dir/mx-country.html
includes a number of locations one has never heard of, but omits decent-sized cities like Los Mochis, Ciudad CuauhtÃmoc (and not even Chihuahua capital!); but safe to assume their SRs are considerably later than mine. Good conditions, with only an occasional lightning crash, not nearby. First a quick bandscan from the bottom finds SS probable XEs on: 540, 560, 610, 640, 650, 660, 690 (two, despite KGGF), 720, 780 (under Pete 94-3, Stillwater), 790, 800 (vs KQCV), 1030, at least. Specifically: 

710, July 14 at 1112, Low German preacher about Jesus, a dead giveaway for XEDP as logged with him many times before. Now it`s on-frequency with no het, while I had noticed the 710-minus het in bedtime bandscan circa 0600 UT. By 1125 recheck he`s done, over to a YL DJ in Spanish, plus ``La Ranchera de CuauhtÃmoc`` jingle. This one is listed as only 100 watts at night; yeah, sure. As previously researched, they switch between two different transmitter sites, one of which is significantly off-frequency.

650, July 14 at 1117, Los Mochis ad at tuneby, so XETNT as expected.

790, July 14 at 1119, Spanish news about Nuevo LeÃn. One thing for sure, there is no 790 XE in NL, but in a bunch of other states.

770, July 14 at 1126, ``Sinaloense`` state song, 1127 ID for ``Grupo ChÃvez Radio, su radiodifusora local, la voz de esperanza``; 1128 TC for 5:29; ``Los Cuarenta``, rock music. This is XEREV also in Los Mochis. The ``40`` brand has dropped ``Principales``, which was really a cumbersome translation for ``Top``. We should not assume that La Voz de Esperanza is a real station name now altho they did utter that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
