JBA carrier hetting 630.0 gospel huxter, KYFI St. Louis MO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)" ``I had this on several of my Border Inn DXpedition recordings last
October, and could only determine that it was a Mexican station
(because they played the anthem around 1200 UT). This morning I
finally found it again on the Brownsville TX SDR, after several
previous failed attempts. It's XEFB Monterrey NL, on about 630.090
kHz, just as in my October 2024 recordings. They ran a children's choral version of the anthem (1 verse), and one
quick "Acústika" liner, then returned to music. They were NOT
//XEJP-1150, which was also audible on this SDR at the same time.
XEFB's anthem was almost two minutes behind XEJP's (XEJP's finished
right about 1200 UT, and XEFB's started slightly after 1200 UT). After
XEJP's anthem, they went into the Acústik program "Agronegocios"
("Farm Business?" Seems an odd programming choice for morning drive
time in Mexico City). We already knew that both XEFB-630 and
XEUNO-1120 (which may currently be silent) were running music instead
of the actual Acústik network programming, but it's interesting to
learn that they (well, at least XEFB) still bother to refer to
themselves as "Acústika." (It never fails - as soon as we publish the IRCA Mexican Log,
something newsworthy happens a day or two later that I wish I could
have included in the Log)... On the subject of off-frequency stations
on 630, is KHOW also still running high, around 630.019, as they were
in all of my October 2024 recordings? 73 Tim Hall`` ``Hey Tim! The bane of all list keepers! The day it goes to press is
the day it’s out of date! 73 Wayne Heinen N0POH, Editor, NRC AM Radio
Log, Aurora, CO`` XEFB is better? known as call of the once widely DXed TV channel 3/2
in Monterrey (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Aug 27 circa 1930 UT, Virtual DJ Radio still
running pop music and audible for only a few blox around crossroads of
US 81 & US 412 in Enid; self-promotion calls itself a ``radio
station``, but no specific ID recaught. Has anyone else, anywhere ever
heard VDJR on a real radio transmitter, AM or FM? (Glenn Hauser, Enid,

but not on 15500 or 15520, timesignal and Spanish, `Españoles en el

it used to air. One week from today, English will supposedly resume at
inconvenient hour of 1000 UT on frequency unknown (Glenn Hauser, OK,

of screaming TOMBS on 9930 WTWW where he`s S9+40/50. Similar situation
around blasting 9350 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Aug 26 at 2207, NO signal from WBCQ WLCR; what`s
wrong? Even when on to Brasil, no comparison at this angle, to much
weaker-rated WWCR transmitter blasting in S9+40/50 on 9350; WINB 9265
even S8/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 660, Aug 27 at 0400, KTNN ID at ToH plus two others,
Tohatchi, which must be KTNN-FM 101.5, and KKNS Corrales, which is
1310 in Albuquerque suburb. Not a bigsig, but anysig at night implies
not protecting WFAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 252 MCW kHz, Aug 27 at 0357 UT, LW beaconscan hits only
one unusual, 252 kHz; trouble is, dxinfocentre.com shows only two
possibilities, in SC and NS; and RNA list shows none anywhere. Now
wondering if I were really tuned to 251 AM but I think not (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic MWDX conditions are starting to improve.
JBA carrier search Aug 27 at 0348-0356 UT, first 9/kHz steps on USB,
tuning downward one kHz below channels: 1053, 909, 711. Then tuning up
in LSB on 9/kHz steps one kHz above channels: 585?, 684, 711, 855,
882, 999, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1305? Most of those are typical of Spain
or UK, except 711 could be Cuba or `Morocco`. No sign of Benin on 1476
or 1566. Better results on my indoor N/S shortwire than on the E/W
loop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1290, Aug 27 at 0404, Spanish YL preaching, seems
Catholic, on E/W loop but not on N/S wire. By format SS:REL the only
fit in NRC AM Log is KRGE Weslaco TX, Radio Vida, U2 5/5 kW, but in
wrong direxion! R. Vida appears ``evangelical`` rather than anything
Catholic on website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1360.29 approx., Aug 27 at 0405 UT, JBA carrier hetting
