[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, January 25-31, 2013

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only. Or FRG-7, Sony SRF-59 when specified.

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. 960, Jan 30 at 0600 UT during the 5-minute Fox-hole of no modulation from local KGWA: mostly ballad music in Spanish, but a bit before KGWA blasts back on at 0605, clearly heard are the 4-descending ``XEW`` chimes which we have previously matched with XEK, Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 960, Jan 26 during the 0600-0605 UT Fox-hole of local KGWA with unmodulation: at first echoey ABC news like KMA/KNEB; then 0603-0605, poetic recitation in Spanish with musical background. Don`t think it was `Soy Soldado`, super-patriotic spiel which some Mexican stations add to war-mongering national anthem at midnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2240-, Jan 31 at 1220 UT, Spanish talk and music, maybe mentioning 1170, but that doesn`t work as a fundamental. Might have been 560 = x4, the only other possibility being 1120 =x2. Anyhow with this format at this time and on an even harmonic, it can`t be WCKL 560. 1224 the music is really hyper; 1229 weakening; 1232 maybe gospel harmony in the music; fading to JBA at 1237, and JBA carrier with traces of music at 1246.

Meanwhile checked XEVT Tabasco on 2910: at 1222 in Spanish it`s axually weaker than 2240, and has also faded to JBA by 1240. So I suspect 2240 is also from eastern Mexico or maybe Central America. Another harmonic to chase! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1654, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
