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
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

All my MW DX reports starting August

[over 378,000 views! as of September 20, 2019]
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 100-foot E-W
longwire.
** MEXICO. 540, Sept 13 at 1147, ``La Ranchera de Paquimé, 540 AM``
and FM [90.5 listed], canned ID they emit every few minutes from XETX,
Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, near the frontera, and heard
immediately upon tune-in, WSW separable from earlier southerly Spanish
talk, probably XEWA SLP, unseemed religious like KDFT Ferris TX. IRCA
Mexican Log says both these XEs are staying on AM (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 580, Sept 13 at 1149, romantic song in Spanish from SSW,
and no WIBW unless that`s causing a SAH. 1200 ID as ``La Rancherita
del Aire``, which is Piedras Negras, Coahuila, with new official calls
XELRDA to match its slogan, altho it`s really rebranded XEMU which
lost the frequency and then bought it back, still llamando itself
``XEMU`` tho I heard neither call this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 760, Sept 20 at 1108 UT, `Hablando Claro` program or
segment with item about something that happened in Mexico 2+ years ago
on Sept 19, 2017; with WJR nulled. Of the four 760 Mexicans, most
likely XEABC, EdoMex, 70/10 kW with variety format, rather than
Chiapas or Jalisco, and surely not Sonora.
Searching on that title and XEABC leads to a media directory at Radio
- Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México making such a connexion.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 790-, Sept 14 at 1215, low audible het looping SW about the
same as KFYO Lubbock ID, presumed XENT, La Paz BCS, as in MW Offsets:
790 789.9586 MEX XENT-AM Radio Fórmula (La Paz) 2018-11-01
790 789.9993 USA KFYO (Lubbock, TX) 2018-08-29
I.e. 40.7 Hz apart. No other station anywhere is listed that far below
790. Nominally 10000/750 watts but IRCA Mexican Log says ``night power
seems much higher than 750``, and is staying on AM.
I also had a definite ID of XENT on 790-, April 11, 2018, after the
frequency had been reported at 789.96 by John Wilkins, CO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 800, Sept 7 at 1210, Spanish virtually zero-beat with KQCV
OKC, which I null as much as possible; discussing border issues at
Juárez; 1211 mentions ``Calibre``, keyword for XEROK, contraxion for
``Canal Libre``, as if it were still a ``clear channel``; 1211 rooster
crows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BONAIRE. 800, Sept 15 at 0144, without really trying in
tune-across, Spanish mention of rtm.org and Bible talk in strange
accent, i.e. PJB, TWR. Dominant on the E-W longwire, where`s KQCV OKC?
It still dominates on the DX-398 except when nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 870, Sept 7 as I try to ID the SS from the South as KFJZ
Fort Worth [see U S A], by 1202 I am also hearing the choral Mexican
NA from the SW, which has to be XETAR; 1204, multilingual XETAR IDs;
1208 fades up ``XETAR, Su voz en la Sierra Tarahumara``, but I`ve
heard it much better before at SRS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 870, Sept 14 at 1208, XETAR in sign-on routine, starting
late? Or just protracted in multilanguages, but several IDs heard (not
XERTA as I mistyped in previous report about KFJZ, USA). In Spanish,
mentions that they will be on air for 12 hours, ``iniciando doce horas
de transmisión``, i.e. still a daytimer which perhaps WWL/listeners
appreciate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 1050, Sept 12 at 0602, XEG Monterrey with super-hype voice
actor full Spanish ID claiming 100,000 watts ``en efectivo``, the
strongest station in Mexico or the US. Effective? meaning in a certain
direxion, but less transmitter power? That term is usually applied to
FM where ERP is almost always much greater than transmitter power,
taking into account antenna gain. Still plenty of QRM, and XEG has not
been the dominant 1050 signal at night for a long time, so I question
their claim. And it`s supposedly ND day and night. IRCA Mexican Log
shows nothing but 100/100 kW and it`s also $tereo with no FM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 569.94 approx., Sept 16 at 0636 UT, LAH against 570.0
stations. Nothing listed at mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 7 at 1153:
747, 774, 828 all from the NW, the Big Three from NHK Japan; no others
noted as I am also DXing 10-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser, OK,, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 13 at
1141-1146, before LSR of 1212 UT: all from NW on the altazimuth
wrist-mounted DX-398, i.e. Japan, Korea, etc.: 747, 774, 828, 972,
1134, 1242, 1566. 1134 and 1242 harbor 100 kW private Japan stations;
1134 also 500 kW in Korea S, but 1242 only 10 kW there. 972 slightly
stronger than the rest (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 20 at
1058-1105 UT, as I happen to be awake more than an hour before local
sunrise when this usually be done: on the DX-398 looping NW: 774, 747,
693, 594, 675, 828, 972, 1134(2), 1566. From WSW: 702, 612, 882, 1548
