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

All my MW DX reports starting August

** 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 Jehová,
YL solo hymn? to mi ciudad, finally 1135 full ID for XETX, La Ranchera
de Paquimé, 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 Días, 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

** MEXICO. 710, April 29 at 1113 UT, gravelly Low-German preacher, his
home on XEDP Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, 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 Torreón), mentions Monclova,
ads, something on carretera 30 which runs roughly between Monclova and
Torreón, 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)
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
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
