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

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 or PL-880 with internal antenna only; Nissan stock caradio as specified; FRG-7 with E-W longwire as specified
** MEXICO. 540, July 12 at 0548 UT, Top-40 music beat, slightly clockwise from south, i.e. XEWA, Los Cuarenta Principales, San Luís Potosí; rather than the usual dominator on 540, XETX, La Ranchera de Paquimé, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua; what`s happened? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 560, July 16 at 1100 UT, full ID for ``La Tremenda``, NA, i.e. XESRD, Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango, 10/1 kW per Cantú and IRCA, which shows sign-on at 1200, which would be correct in winter. Have heard it a few times before but not a regular (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 630, July 16 at 1103 UT, XEFB opening `Radar 63` morning news, from ``Grupo Radio México, Monterrey``. Fair but never a bigsig here; it`s one of few Mexicans with a direxional antenna. NRC Pattern Book shows at night, major lobe is due west; day pattern, probably on already, is broader to the southwest, and not a notch to the north, 10/10 kW.
Its offspring, XEFB-TV has been a TV DX regular here for many years on channel 3 and then channel 2, ``TELEACTIVA`` tentatively seen as recently as June 17, 2015 before the digital transition (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 690, July 12 at 0600 UT, full ID for XEN in México DF, ``100,000 watts`` a Grupo Radio Centro station. Yes, but --- at night it`s supposed to cut to only 5 kW. I wouldn`t be surprised if it`s more than that, as it easily dominates 690 over Cuba or anything else, such as the open carrier from KS, KGGF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 690, July 16 at 1114 UT, ``107.1 FM y 690 AM``, roughly southwest, QRM from another Spanish. By now it may be too late for DF or NL at lowband, and that FM/AM combo leads only to: XEMA, La Mejor, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, 50/2 kW, and likely already on day power. Enid SR today is 1126 UT, definitely latening past Solstice, currently at the rate of 5 minutes per week {Ironic how much of our XE MW DX IDs now depend on matching FM frequencies, where AMs are encouraged to ``migrate``} (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 720, July 12 at 0554 UT, automated timecheck for 12:54, and 105.7 La Grande(?) ID, making 4 Hz SAH with WGN. Must have been really said ``La Kaliente``, as this is surely still XEDE Saltillo, Coahuila. Would-be WGN listeners can`t wait for this one to migrate to FM-only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 1060v, July 16 at 1120 UT, off-frequency station from the south, 1127 detectable as Spanish, so presumably XERDO Reynosa etc., Tamaulipas. More notable is that I still am NOT hearing anything from 1060v KIJN, Farwell TX on the NM border: see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
