DAY-BY-DAY ARCHIVE OF GLENN HAUSER`S LOG REPORTS:
Unedited, uncondensed, unchanged from original version, many of
them too complex, minutely researched, multi-frequency, opinionated,
inconsequential, off-topic, or lengthy for some log editors to
manage; and also ahead of their availability in these weekly issues:
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** CUBA. 5980, UT Mon Apr 29 at 0245 check, nothing but Cuban jamming
noise on the new frequency for TV Martà soundtrack, at 22-03 UT but
not scheduled on weekends. However, during the previous hour at 0135,
via remotes in NY & FL, Wolfgang Bueschel was getting a ``terrible
mixture`` of VOA news in Spanish vs RRI in Romanian, which had
inadvisably shifted from 9790 to 5980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6045, April 29 at 1203, good signal in
Korean S9/+10, with lite beep jamming underaudible. I can`t believe
this be from TAJIKISTAN site as in Aoki/NDXC for National Unity Radio
clandestine at 1200-1458. EiBi also claims TJK but at 1100-1300. Not
in HFCC at all. Rather something from E Asia/W Pacific. Steve McGreevy
suggests Taiwan. Dan Sheedy, Moonlight Beach CA logged it several
times in April with same too-good-for-Tajikistan observation. Ivo
Ivanov assumes TJK, having replaced 7235 in mid-April.

Also relevant, this from Ron Howard earlier: ``BHUTAN. 6035, BBS,
1114-1120*, on April 5. Pop songs till transmitter off. The good news
is that the recent jamming spur heard here from 6045, has ended, as
National Unity Radio has moved away from 6045, taking the N. Korea
jamming with them`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 540, April 29 at 1129 UT, Mexican NA from WSW, different
version choral with band and heavy drumming, and an odd time for it
too, perhaps its sign-on. 1130 no ID but immediate prayer to JehovÃ,
YL solo hymn? to mi ciudad, finally 1135 full ID for XETX, La Ranchera
de PaquimÃ, street address in Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, also FM
90.5, Grupo BM Radio, another informal slogan preceded by ``La Mera
Mera ---`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 570, April 29 at 1102 UT, choral multiverse NA from SSW,
until 1105 fades for ID but Monterrey mentioned, i.e. XEBJB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 580, April 29 at 1100 UT, M&W newscast including F and C
weather for the frontera, Piedras Negras; holding its own against
opposite WIBW Topeka, making 63/minute SAH = 1.05 Hz. Obviously
``XEMU``, new legal call of which is XELRDA standing for La Ranchera
Del Aire (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 610, April 29 at 1104 UT, Coahuila mentioned, Grupo M(?)
Radio. I would assume XEBX Sabinas, but it`s thought to have moved to
FM 105.9 with 610 deleted from WRTH 2019. http://www.radioxebx.com/ is
merely under construxion as ``La Primera`` on 105.9 AND 610. There has
been a CP for another Coahuilan on 610, XESORN in Saltillo to replace
XESAC which is definitely gone. Must monitor 610 again closely (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 650, April 29 at 1100 UT, no signal yet, but recheck 1108,
now Mexican music from southwest and 1111 `Buenos DÃas, Yarderos`,
well-known wakeup show from XETNT, Radio 65 altho neither call nor
slogan heard today. DJ mixes in plugs for local mercados in Los
Mochis, Sinaloa; 1137 greeting listeners by name still in BDY show.
Still no sign of sibling station XEGS Guasave, altho more QRM on 610
from KCSP, and Coahuila earlier. At ToH 1200 the two used to join for
newscast, too late now.

So XETNT is definitely still on AM. Replying April 26 to my previous
non-log, Raymie Humbert in AZ on the WTFDA Forum:

``XETNT should never have stayed on past a year; it was not the Mochis
station with a continuity obligation. (That would be 540 XEHS-AM, on
the air for the benefit of 27,552 people.) On the other hand, XEGS is
continuity obligated. More than 21,000 people depend on it for their
only radio service. Most continuity obligation stations are on low
frequencies. There's still the chance, of course, someone wants to run
a social AM radio station and assumes the continuity obligation.
That's happening with XEEJ Puerto Vallarta, which will soon yield to a
new station XECSBK on 650. Other frequencies that are part of
continuity obligations are being advertised the same way.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 710, April 29 at 1113 UT, gravelly Low-German preacher, his
home on XEDP Ciudad CuauhtÃmoc, Chihuahua, not off-frequency today; by
1138 back to Spanish with regional weather, 5:39 TC, plugs its
whatsapp link, details of a fatal DUI --- conduciendo borracho?
traffic accident (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 780v, April 29 at 1116 UT, semi-local KSPI Stillwater music
carefully nulled, for Spanish producing low audible heterodyne (but
not as bad as 740 KRMG torn up by XEQN TorreÃn), mentions Monclova,
ads, something on carretera 30 which runs roughly between Monclova and
TorreÃn, and CCI from another XE, 1118 fade-out. So it`s XEWGR in
Monclova (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 820, April 29 at 1141 UT, slow SAH against WBAP nulled for
``Canal 800-20, ABC Radio`` IDs between guitar songs, again at 1143 by
when it`s dominating WBAP, i.e. XEABCA, Mexicali BCN. No storm noise
on band this morning, the lightning having migrated from KS last night
to the dayside in MO; also a storm around Yuma, but not bothering this
station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, April 29 at 1145-1148 UT, WKY in a promotional loop
with slight variations, slogans by YL such as ``La casa de deportes en
Oklahoma City`` (or would that be ``caza``?) also plugging ESPN,
Oklahoma City Thunder, call letters always in English, mixed with SFX,
yelling (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 28 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, good S9+10

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, fair

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 from 0300 on Area 51 webcast, and
this week also modulating on WBCQ 5130.42, but VP in storm noise from
Kansas.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, very poor.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, April 29 at 1256, WRNO VG S9+20 in Christian Chinese,
presumably about to close at 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825 & 13845, April 29 around 1320, both these WWCRs are
getting a sporadic-E boost altho not imbooming yet, rather than JBA
over too-close 1-megameter path. Correlates nicely with an OK/TN
contact on 10m shown by DX Maps - but not into VHF yet (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, April 29 at 1121-
1128 UT, before LSR of 1141 here:: 774, 756-WSW, 747, 702-WSW(2), 675
-WSW, 657-WSW, 612-WSW, 846-WSW, 882-WSW(2), 1035-WSW, 1098-W. The
ones without a DF I could not be sure of maybe both WSW and NW (Glenn

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATED

Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update.
http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) IRAN - IRIB: Deleted link to obsolete Listeners Special old archive
(page no longer found). Current archive link is still valid.

2) Netherlands - Studio 52: [NEW] Added station links

3) New Zealand - RNZ: Update to UTC offset notations.

4) Russia - R Rossii: Updated link to programme schedule

5) South Sudan - Eye R: Deleted link to SW freqs (page no longer
found) [supposedly going off air after April per Ivo --- gh]

6) Syria - R Damascus: Deleted alternate link to downloads (only one
episode from 2017 was listed there)

7) UK - BBCWS: Update to link to BBC online progs

8) USA - WRMI: Updated links to programme schedule grids (old 9955 kHz
grid no longer being updated)

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be in
late May. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, April 28, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Saturday April 27 at 1950, surprised to hear
Radio Martà as since this frequency was added, it had always been Mon
-Fri only --- strange scheduling perhaps required by some budget
limitation? Altho Cuban jammers formerly kept on here even weekends,
not now, and in the clear unlike 11930 & 13605. So with RTVM expanding
usage, like also on 5980, now it makes sense for dentro-Cuban over-
jamming super-vigilance. Latest HFCC still has GB 11860 at 1400-2200
M-F only.

11860 recheck April 27 at 2248, now much weaker Spanish --- o, not //
RM, but now the RHC spur out of // 11850, scheduled to start at 2100,
so a one-hour overlap is likely (and Cuba jamming itself when they
catch on).

11860, Sunday April 28 at 1517, RM on again, seems atop jamming about
like 11930.

BTW, in his April NASWA Journal column, discussing the proposed FY
2020 USAGM budget, Kim Elliott says, ``It looks like OCB and USAGM are
satisfied with the progress of access to new media in Cuba, strongly
hinting that the Greenville shortwave site may no longer be needed``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5900, April 28 at 0537, JBA carrier, presumed this late not
Bulgaria but the RHC leapfrog mixing product of 6100 over 6000.
Surveying the intentional English frequencies with blues music:
6165, JBM at S9/+10
6100, undermodulated at S9+30
6060, good modulation, S9+20/30
6000, undermodulated at S9+10/20, a bit louder than 6165
5040, good like 6060. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12000, April 28 at 1319, RHC is S5-S6, axually better than
fundamental 6000 deeper in the noise level, during `Amigos de Cuba`,
not a mere mailbag as the name implies, including full addresses of
faithful correspondents for penpal purposes, like someone in Ecuador.
If you are a ``friend of a really FREE Cuba``, do not apply.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-AM, April 27 at 2232, soft music, later rock,
only one brief announcement uncopied, off abruptly at 2304* without a
word. S8 to S9+5. Several logs here say it was Wave Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,53420.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, April 27 at 2320 UT, KOCD Okeene OK is
OFF again, the satellite of Radio SalvaciÃn, 93.9 KWDW-LP OKC. Not
even cutting on for 7 seconds at a time. It had been on OK for a few
weeks.

101.5, April 28 at 1513 recheck, Spanish back, weaker than KOCD should
be and fading, with commercials and iHeart mentions, so obviously the
100 kW in Liberal KS (almost OK panhandle), KSMM, breaking for weather
capsule en inglÃs; 101 punto 5 ID in Spanish, can`t copy slogan but
WTFDA lists as ``La Mexicana`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 9675.033, April 27 at 2001, VP talk S5-S7, OOFSOB but
clearly off-frequency. It`s SRI in Turkish at 1800-2100, 500 kW, 340
degrees from Riyadh, also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 27 at 2230, VOT English to N America is AWOL
again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: confirmed Saturday April 27
at 2100 on WRMI 9955, fair.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 28 at 0339 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO,
S9+20 vs plenty of storm crashes, about 10 minutes into, so started
circa 0329. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. AAAWWW UT Sat April 27 on WBCQ: John Carver heard it all:

``Tonight's show started more or less on time on 7490. Allan and
Angela in the studio in FLA. Allan states that he's not feeling well.
Also announces that from this evening on his show would be known as
Allan & Angela Worldwide and instructed Larry to change the name on
the program schedule.

First phone call at 0006 from Dave in Indiana. A very drunk phone
call. A much calmer Allan tackles recent political problems yet again.
Phone call at 0015 with a reception report and comments on the
political talk. The longer he talked the more wound up Allan got, to
the point that he announced that he'd seen demons before and figured
out how to drive them away with electromagnetic frequencies and that
the last time he tried that, one of his transmitters caught on fire
and was destroyed.

He also trucked out his old rap about knowing that the FBI, CIA etc.
monitored his program and he appealed to the Secret Service to be more
vigilant in their watch of Trump as he was sure that someone would
attempt to kill him.

Phone call at 0042 from Dave in Indiana again. Reading of emails at
0049. Phone call at 0051 from Canada with a question about the
previous email that Allan read. Dave in Indiana on the phone again at
0053 and still drunk.

In response to an email, Allan announced that the superstation would
begin testing on 9330 this coming week. Possibly on Tuesday, Wednesday
or Thursday and to check his tweets for further information.

Next email took him to task for ruining shortwave with his political
ranting and raving. Allan said he was sorry the listener felt that way
and that he was free to turn the knob on his radio to something else
but it was a free speech station, his transmitter and his program and
he would speak whatever was on his mind.

Then he said he would try to have more radio talk on next week`s show.
Quick prayer at 0100. Show off the air at 0104 followed by music. 7490
was off the air at 0109. John`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475 & 5830, April 27 at 2000, both WTWW-1 frequencies are
still/again off, even during ham radio diversion from racist SFAW.
Also neither audible at 1600 April 28 check: transmitter breakdown
rather than mixup? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1913 UT April 28

** ALASKA. 9580, April 27 at 1421, VP S4-S5 rock music, presumed KNLS
as now scheduled for English this hour on what will always be for us
the #1 Radio Australia frequency before it self-destructed. Recall
that right after that, as I suggested, WRMI registered 9580 at 0900-
2100, thus ``reserving`` it but never implemented, much less an RA/ABC
relay whether the Aussies liked it or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.240, April 27 at 1342, RHC knocked itself off-frequency
again, VG. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 11660, April 27 at 0243, YL talking, eventually recognized as
Spanish on fluttery S9/+10 signal; S Asian music, 0247 mixed with
sounders uttering times and SW frequencies of several VRII SS
broadcasts, and some on satellite, off at 0250:34*. This one is three
hours long from 2350, 500 kW, 328 degrees from Sirjan for parts of
CIRAFs 7, 10 and 11, i.e. crossing N America from the tip of Greenland
to New Orleans, close to Mexico City. A mostly night path starting to
propagate summerlish. HFCC shows Spanish also on 7230 at 2350-0120,
and 9550 at 0020-0320: strange, offset times. Also has Spanish to
Spain mornings and evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 26 at 2220 check, VOT English is on today,
fair. And so is erroneous German at 2313 check, still only fair (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: confirmed first
American SW broadcast, Friday April 26 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, good, not
upcut at start, but final number ``1979`` overlapped by fill music.
Also confirmed UT Saturday April 27 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair.

** U S A. 7490.17v, UT Sat April 27 at 0004, WBCQ, Allan Weiner from
Deland of Fla opening what he has just renamed from today, ``Allan And
Angela Worldwide`` in honour of his co-host wife (who rarely says
much), and tells Larry Will to change it on the website: not yet; so
now it`s AAAWW. Soon says the 500 kW Superstation is getting close to
on-air testing (like it was two weeks ago). AAAWW also on 9330+v
instead of TOMBS; something else on 5130+v; and no signal a tall on
3265-v. Have not heard yet from John Carver for the rest of the story

** U S A. 9265V, UT Sat April 27 at 0240, beepery from Kim`s
`Shortwave Radiogram` via WINB, and yes, this transmitter is still
wobbling. I wonder if that degrade SWRG decode? Maybe not if BFO not
engaged (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11610, April 27 at 0245, call-in about Luther on the
Catholic Radio Network, S9/+20. Did he repent on deathbed? It`s WEWN`s
new English frequency overnight I had not noticed before, since ex-
11520 was easily overlooked. This one fades to JBA carrier by 0252.

EWTN website still shows B-18 sked of 11520, et al.! :
http://ewtn.org/radio/freq.htm
So check HFCC A-19 registrations, which may be excessive beyond usage:
English 00-09 11610, 09-13 9470, 19-24 15610
Spanish 00-14 5970, 14-24 12050
BTW, CNR westward from Beijing is also on 11610 at 23-13. Not
``Bejing`` as WEWN spells its 335-degree target on 9470 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1645 UT April 27

** ALGERIA [non]. 6125, April 25 at 0535, S7-S9 song, choral almost
hymnic, mixed with talk in French. Now scheduled here is TDA via
FRANCE, and certainly not the Qur`an service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CONGO. 6115, VP signal S5-S8 at 0534 UT April 25; almost sure it`s
Brazzaville in French, while it`s too early for the other 6115, Nikkei
Japan at 14:34 local time some 4-5 hours before sunset (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12000, April 25 at 1336, RHC S5-S6 // 11760, and 6000, of
which this is the second harmonic. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5900, April 26 at 0537, JBA carrier, presumably RHC leapfrog
of 6100 over 6000, reconfirming from same site; 6100 is S9+20 but JBM;
6000 is S9-S7 and also JBM. 6165 is S9-S8 and undermodulated. Only
6060 is any good, S9+20 and plenty mod. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000 & 6100, April 26 at 1207, RHC active on both but neither
second harmonic propagating. 6100 also has CCI from CRI Russian,
Commies vs Commies. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, April 25 at 0538 music at S4-S6, presumed
Bata, same time as hearing 6115 presumed Brazzaville (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA [and non]. 3325, April 26 at 1157, dead air at S3-S5 --
then I detect a trace of modulation. Ron Howard has been observing
dead air from VOI Palangkaraya for most of April, so the other could
be a trace of co-channel NBC Bougainville. There is also a JBA carrier
on 3260, Madang PNG? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6070, April 25 at 1303, Shiokaze sounder under
CFRX, and similar on 5920, the two current frequencies for Seabreeze
in English only on Thursdays, both very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 650, April 25 at 1155, 10 minutes after Enid sunrise,
Mexican music and Spanish, fast SAH, presumed the usual SRS dominator
XETNT, Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Faded by 1200. However, next morning, see
below:

On April 26 pre-sunrise I tune the lowband for Mexicans still
propagating:

540, April 26 at 1126, potosina ads, i.e. XEWA SLP (I was also hearing
it after 0500 NA with ``Los Cuarenta`` slogan.). Nulling this at 1126,
I have another Mexican, no doubt XETX Chihuahua which typically
dominates a bit later.

550, April 26 at 1127, Mexican music loops WSW, which would be XEPL,
CuauhtÃmoc, Chihuahua, the only N/W Mexican, dominating for now before
KFRM overtakes.

650, April 26 at 1128, NO signals at all on 650, nor any XE on 610,
sibling station to XETNT, XEGS Guasave, Sinaloa. Strange, and
wondering if these too are giving up on MW. Both are supposed to be
24h per 2018 IRCA Mexican Log.

710, April 26 at 1136, ``primera ediciÃn`` of newscast from BM Radio,
i.e. XEDP, CuauhtÃmoc, Chihuahua; not off-frequency this time. 1151
news of marijuana bust in Delicias, citing grams, then mentions
Oclajoma!

800, April 26 at 1128, ad for Laboratorios Camacho from Los Ãngeles,
i.e. one of the major advertisers on XEROK JuÃrez; with KQCV OKC
easily nulled. But a few minutes later XEROK has vanished, and is
normally inaudible at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 21, April 25 at 1454 UT, KUOT-LD, 4 kW ERP, OKC,
briefly decodes with slight tropo enhancement, I hurry to 21-6 to try
to identify this subchannel. Only KUOT on all PSIPs; and no bug on it,
but infomercial with this link: teamlifestyle.com which forwards to:
https://www.asarx.tv/ not very helpful. W9WI.com shows 21-6 as
``Revn`` (Revelation?)
http://www.w9wi.com/web/tv-channels/21-mx.html
but the others don`t match my last log as in DXLD 19-15 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Level-2 tropo enhancement blob around Enid as far as
Tulsa on Hepburn map, April 26 at 1410+ UT correlates with what I am
seeing, decodes on RF 20, 19-1 KQCW-HD, and RF 28, 44-1 Ion, plus many
more Bad signals on most lower UHF channels still funxioning. And some
on hi-VHF.

Also, RF 24, 25-1 megawatt KOKH OKC FOX is not decoding, pointing to
CCI from the 600-watt KTUL extra channel in Tulsa. BTW, KOKH 25-3 has
not been Weather Nation for many months, despite W9WI.com.

However, OKC`s 7.2 kW on RF 42, KBZC-LD, manages to decode just fine.
NOT in Enid, just the city of license, unfathomably (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 12065, April 25 at 1338, something in English, CRI? No,
not // Cuba 9570. Listed as BBCWS via SINGAPORE this hour only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15770, April 26 at 1329, a few seconds of beepery as the new
Friday 1300 time for Kim`s `SW Radiogram` is concluding on WRMI, music
fill, vintage WNYW-style ID, and 1330 intro Alameda Bible Fellowship
for synthetic English Bible readings, Jeremiah 34; seems they are
stuck on this book, mentioned elsewhen? 15770 has been extended an
hour earlier before 1400 overturning to SMTV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 890, April 26 at 1133 UT, with KTLR OKC nulled,
``EscÃchenos, la nueva radio cristiana``, i.e. KVOZ; searching on that
slogan leads to two of my own logs in 2011 & 2012, so it`s hardly new!
NRC AM Log shows CoL as Del Mar Hills, with address in McAllen, so a
suburb of that? NO. Del Mar Hills is not to be found even in the
large-scale Rand McNally road atlas. Radio-locator shows it`s Laredo:

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, April 25 at 1146-
1152 as I happen to awaken just at LSR 1145: 864, 882, 1035, 1548,
792, but by far the strongest is 1098 from west, the all-night open
carrier from V7AB, Marshall Islands. The others are too weak for a
definite DF, but probably from WSW = S Pacific rather than NW = E Asia
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, April 26 at 1138:
702, 837-WSW with two beating, 1098, 774 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
