--- Begin Message --- 
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
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 PL-880; NRD-545 with ALA-330S inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S; Nissan stock caradio as specified; ICR-75Â E-W longwire; FRG-7 with NW-SE shortwire

** MEXICO. [Re Radio Formula still heard on 1030:] Well well, looks like XEYC actually *returned* to 1460. It was originally licensed for 1460 when the concession was issued in 1949. A 2000 concession renewal says 1030, but not the 2010 renewal which has it back on 1460. Looks like it took them five years or so to return to 1460.

** MEXICO. 1030, March 19 at 0232, I`m checking further into the Radio FÃrmula I heard still on this frequency, despite reports that XEYC JuÃrez had moved to 1460, as discussed in previous log. (I`m splitting time with another SS on 880, which turns out to be WIJR in IL; see USA domestic logs.) 

1030 is all-talk, typical of FÃrmula, someone on phone and someone in studio. This one is close to E/W, or WSW/ENE, which fits for Ciudad JuÃrez. Occasional QRM from another SS, yelling about inmigraciÃn, further south, perhaps Radio Centro, DF. 

0252, welcoming a new caller, Gabriela, who talks about ``la compaÃÃa petrolera``. This is generally atop, but lots of QRM. 0258 PSA by YL about CÃmara de Diputados, how many women have been elected to participate, then called CÃmara de Diputadas y Diputados. 0259 can`t pull an ID, just ``Colonia Centro`` as location of station, which could apply to countless cities. I would not be surprised if local XEYC ID is never inserted anyway, just plugged into XERFR 970 in the DF networked nationwide. 0305 financial news items about employment rate improved in January, 17.77 exchange rate for peso/dÃlar. At 0313 ad/PSA? for Partido Verde; 0314 bit about DoÃa Lara`s pollos fritos in Aguascalientes, along with la comida tÃpica at Feria de San Marcos in Ags; finally, ``en Radio FÃrmula, MÃxico tiene sabor``, reference to Grupo FÃrmula website; no local IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[Note: March 22-23-24, big open carrier on 1030 seems from KCTA TX; see DOMESTIC report]

** MEXICO. 1300, UT Monday March 21 at 0423, government talk presumed `La Hora Nacional`, and also presumed XEP JuÃrez, usually 38 kW day power dominator here, so running this weekly show at 10 pm local MDT = CST/HCM as border city is already on DST to go along with El Paso. DST in the rest of Mexico does not begin until April 3 after two sesquiweeks of confusion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
