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:

All times and dates strictly UT. Rx: mostly DX-398 with internal antenna only or PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; ICR-75 with E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire
UNIDENTIFIED. 690, Jan 27 at 0726 UT, ``La Ãnica, FM 99 y 690 AM`` non-ID amid music. Nothing fits in Mexican or US listings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. In re: 690, XEMA: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 690, Jan 16 at 0712 UT, Spanish canciones interrupted by non-ID for ``La Reina, 107.9 FM y 690 AM``. Searching FM and AM lists and broad searches lead nowhere. A few US SS stations don`t match. Figure it`s Mexican, pretty good DF at SW/NE. Possibly XEMA Fresnillo, Zacatecas, 50/2 kW, listed with an FM on 107.1 by Cantà and IRCA --- but on 107.9 in WRTH 2016 --- but2, name in all as ``La Mejor``. However, I am not 100% sure that the word I heard was Reina (queen). I am more certain of the FM frequency, which in Spanish unlike English would not be confundible with 107.1. More to the SW is one other Mexican, XEST, MazatlÃn, Sinaloa, 2/0.25 kW, but with FM on 94.7 and called ``RomÃntica``. Maybe there`s been a recent change at one of these which will eventually emerge (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
The [FM] station has moved, and the move is not super recent. XHEMA is listed as 107.1 in IFT, but their social profiles say 107.9. The change seems to have occurred between September 16-25, 2013. This also lines up with a YouTube video they posted at the time:

You posted back in September that you had a "107.9" on 690, correctly assumed you had XEMA but figured you had misheard "107.1". You definitely had a "107.9".
There is nothing in the RPC on this one. The technical information available is all for the 107.1 which was assigned at migration (25 kW from a site in Fresnillo used as a tower farm). They do brand as "La Mejor Zacatecas" and I have to wonder if the frequency move might also have meant other changes, such as moving from Fresnillo to Zacatecas where B-15 has no radio stations. (Zacatecas Capital has a 106.5.) I'd suggest writing B15 for more information. Last edited by Raymie; 01-23-2016 at 02:07 AM (Raymie Humbert, AZ, Jan 22, WTFDA Forum via DXLD)
[re 720 log Jan 21:] I'm working on a compilation of translated Mexican PSAs from XEPE (some of them are a real hoot for all sorts of reasons), and I can tell you that the deputies ad you mentioned says 211 of the 500 deputies are women. (That's slightly more than 40%.) The funny thing is that, like a bunch of other PSAs about women and almost all the other PSAs I've heard, it gets a male voiceover in English (Raymie Humbert, AZ, Jan 21, WTFDA Forum via DXLD)
** MEXICO. 810, Jan 22 at 1308 UT, long talk about the PRI and Tamaulipas, each mentioned several times, elexion coming 5 de junio; 1313 fade. This time I tentatively think it`s XEFW Tampico on 50 kW day power by now, instead of 100 watt XERI Reynosa, which I definitely heard in the nightmiddle. Altho Neil Kazaross says XERI was already announcing 5 kW (day anyway) a year ago despite later listings as 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
