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 asÂ

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified
UNIDENTIFIED. 774, March 12 at 1249-1252+, JBA carrier from NW, no doubt 500 kW NHK, the #1 TP signal if any remnant make it to here. Nothing on some others checked in the <1000 and 1566 range. Our sunrise today: 1247 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 890, March 8 at 0244, song about basura, with WLS easily nulled, immediately identifiable as R. Progreso since it`s // 900 but which is about one second (more than a single satellite hop would be) behind 890 but a tad louder. // 4765 is very slightly ahead of 890. Per WRTH, 890 is 200 kW in Chambas, Ciego de Ãvila province, while 900 is 50 kW in further San GermÃn, HolguÃn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1010, March 8 at 0627, dominant signal from NE/SW is ``Recuerdos 103.7``, I thought, but uplooked later it has to 106.7, the FM side of XEVK TorreÃn, Coahuila; (seis and tres are easily confused) and IRCA Log adds that transmitter site is across the state line in sibling city GÃmez Palacio, Durango. Cantà and IRCA agree it`s 5/1 kW and official name is ``Tu Recuerdo``, i.e. thy memory, i.e. nostalgia format? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1470, March 12 at 1308 UT, Spanish mentions Los Ãngeles, 1309 ``un nuevo dÃa mÃs, radio por la maÃana``, maybe a searchable catch-phrase? Yes, but nothing clix. Soon fades; loops approx., E-W, but too much QRM from any other direxion to be sure. L.A. could be mentioned anywhere, but there is a SS in CA, KUTY in Palmdale, 5/5 kW U4. Per the NRC AM Log 2014-2015, other 1470 USA SS are in: FL, IA, MN, NC, PR, all of which are even less likely than CA, unless the DF is way off, from IA. This is 20 minutes after LSR in Enid.
Group site http://highdesertbroadcasting.com/ shows only this one of the cluster lacks its own webpage, but listed as:
``KUTY 1470 AM â Hermosa - Spanish Music/Talk/News``
Or could it be a Mexican? Possibly XEACE in MazatlÃn, Sinaloa, 1/0.1 kW. This late I haven`t heard any other N/W Mexicans on lower channels, tho 1570 XERF is still audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) KAZ suggests 1470 could be XERCN Tijuana, 10/5 kW, Uniradio --- yes, it could
** MEXICO. 1560, March 9 at 0558, full ID including street address in Ciudad JuÃrez, from R. Vida ID, into NA now with local midnite in UT - 6 zoneshift to MDT. I.e., per IRCA 2014 and Cantà as of Feb 19 printout, XEJPV still called ``Indie`` as a 1 kW daytimer! I wonder if the call has changed too, unheard this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
XEJPV (unsure if calls have changed but JuÃrez has had these calls for decades) has been Radio Viva for a couple months at least.

The last post on the Indie FB site was from Oct 10, 2014. I've had them weakly a couple of times this season from IL thru the weak mess of stations there once KLNG goes off a couple hours after sunset. 1560 is very good here on western oriented antennas as I cannot tell that NYC in on the air. 73 KAZ (Neil Kazaross, ABDX via DXLD)
