[IRCA] Mostly Mexican MW DX to Enid OK, February 7-13, 2014

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

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
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:

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only; or Sony SRF-59 as specified; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified
  
** CUBA. 1620, Feb 9 at 0134 UT, Spanish with Waco/Omaha nulled, soon partial ID as ``punto 7, sensacional``, and music. Expected R. Rebelde, but *not* // 5025, which is in a slow-paced ballgame with crowd noise, presumed base, since keywords such as ``faul``, ``bola``, ``aut``, ``bateador``, which does match the Rebelde pileup on 1180. (And R. Martí 6030 is not in a game this Saturday night.) Therefore I conclude that this 1620 is instead relaying the FM side of Rebelde on 96.7 from Habana, probably the 5 kW Guanabacoa, CH outlet. Cuba only ventured into the X-band originally to block WDHP Virgin Islands relaying Martí at limited times; does it still? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1140, Monday Feb 10 at 1350 UT, I am trying again to hear any Spanish from Kansas City. There is dominant Spanish here but considerable QRM, which could be from KC, but more likely from opposite XEMR, Monterrey NL, which is holding up later than usual today. It`s a monolog sermon about fe, which keeps running past 1400 UT until 1404 UT quick conclusion with jingle `Vida Santa` as name of program, or was it `Vida Sana`? Possibly a real ID followed at 1406, but fading into the jumble. 

I hope there`s a program schedule at the XEMR website. Cantú linx merely to this:
https://www.facebook.com/RadioEsperanza1140
which has recent posts, but can`t find a schedule or the name above. FB linx to its real website http://www.radioesperanza.mx/ which does have a programación page but woefully incomplete, covering only certain blox, nothing shown before 10 am. Searching there on ``vida santa`` leads only to a couple mentions of that phrase last June and July, not a program, while ``vida sana`` leads to a triplet of just as unuseful hits.

BTW, the Cantú list 
http://mexicoradiotv.com/nuevoleon/index.htm
specifies transmitter town for numerous Monterrey stations if elsewhere, such as Apodaca NL for XEMR, and Guadalupe NL for several others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
