[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, October 26-November 1, 2012

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only.
   
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

And compiled weekly along with extensive news from many other individuals and publications in DX LISTENING DIGEST:

** MEXICO [and non]. 540, Oct 26 at 0514, amid CCI I catch a mention in Spanish of ``90.5 FM`` from the west, i.e. it`s a match for XETX again, Cantú:
540 XETX La Ranchera de Paquimé + FM 90.5 Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chih. 1,000 250. The main CCI was C&W music, presumably KWMT Fort Dodge IA again with its resurgent night signal. On daytime groundwave, it`s under KDFT with a 1.5 Hz SAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 570, Oct 30 at 0535 UT tune in, full ID at odd time from XEBJB with address, etc., mixing with C2C on presumed KLIF (which at mid-hour has a musical break, now ``Time After Time``). Per Cantú:
570 XEBJB Radio 570 Monterrey, N.L. 5,000 500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 710, Oct 31 at 1244 UT, 16 para las 6, TC on La Ranchera de Cuauhtémoc, XEDP, so this part of Chihuahua is back on UT-7 since Oct 28 (while Juárez and other border areas keep UT-6 along with USA for another week). Usual dominant signal just before sunrise here, so can`t be sunrise yet there, nor can it be night power of 100 watts as in WRTH. Furthermore it`s hard to believe that day power is only 7000 watts; anyhow, it really gets out on skywave.

Just before this, I heard a 720 station in Spanish talk programming auto-proclaim the time at 1240 UT as 6:40, so probably XEJCC in Ciudad Juárez, on the border and hostage to US DST dates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 720, Oct 27 at 1250 UT, discussing and playing music of Guadalajara. Altho there are 2 or 3 other XEs I`ve heard on 720, I am tempted to pick this one from Cantú which is in Jalisco, and obviously musical: 720 XEQZ Ritmo 720 San Juan de los Lagos, Jal. 1,000 400.
Guadalajara sunrise 1254, Enid SR right now, 1250 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 880, Oct 27 at 0513 UT from southwest, Spanish educational or at least so during PSAs about patriomonio cultural, hidografía, on to music, dominating frequency but SAH. It`s likely one of these three as heard before, per Cantú:

880 XEV   Radio Fórmula + FM 101.7 Chihuahua, Chih.  5,000   250
880 XETC  Kiuu + FM 91.1           Torreón, Coah.   10,000 1,000
880 XEPNK Milenio Radio + FM 103.5 Los Mochis, Sin. 10,000 2,000

880, Oct 27 at 1225 UT, discussion about la guerra para la paz, Albert Einstein revealed he didn`t believe in god; mentions Coahuila, Torreón. Not necessarily the same one heard earlier, but now it`s surely XETC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. TP carrier search, Oct 31 at 1248-1252 UT: JBA on 774, 828, 882, 1008, 1098, 1566. 1566 was strongest, and hoped for some audio; 1098 suspected to be a receiver birdie or local source instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
