Frank Merrill/Macomb IL
Kenwood R-1000, with BOG (Beverage On Ground), ~850 feet at 200 degrees bearing, no termination.
1430 kHz  USA  KSHJ Houston TX  03 Feb 2333 UTC - A few promos to call Catholic Answers Radio at 888-291-8000 to make a donation.  This is the only one that makes sense.
980 kHz  USA  KCAB Dardanelle AR  03 Feb 2349 UTC - Ad for Bargain Barn in Russellville, Arkansas Army National Guard; weather every 20 minutes from the KCAB weather center.  Entirely alone on 980.
1120 kHz  USA  KTXW Manor TX  04 Feb 0029 UTC - real estate ad mentioning the "central Texas real estate market" with 512 Area Code.  The only 1120 station anywhere near central Texas.  Actually atop KMOX (135 miles away).  NEW.
1470 kHz  USA  WVOL Berry Hill TN  04 Feb 0101 UTC - Legal ID as "WVOL Berry Hill-Nashville" after soul (and one doowop - Flamingos) oldies.  I wasn't able to ID similar programming from the previous night.  NEW.
1420 kHz  USA  KBHS Hot Springs AR  04 Feb 0104 UTC - Mention of Hot Springs and "La Caliente" station name.  Also a Hot Springs ad somewhat later.  Regional Mexican format.  This appears to be extremely dominant here at night, on this longwire which is pointed directly at them.  
970 kHz MEXICO  XERFR Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City), D. F.  04 Feb 0511 UTC - Probably solving an unID from last night, this one more on top tonight, with "Formula" and "Grupo Formula" multiple mentions.  They seem very easy to ID this way.  Turns out they're a flagship station for this.  QRM from unID domestics.   NEW.
900 kHz USA  KHOZ Harrison AR  04 Feb 0524 UTC - Thought I heard KHOZ calls deep in the mud, so I went looking for a stream.  They have one, and it was parallel, but by this time they had faded well on top, and hearing the callsign was easy.  NEW.
1440 kHz  MEXICO  XEEST Ciudad de Mexico (Mexico City), D. F.  04 Feb 0807 UTC - female ballad with high voice, parallel to their stream for this song and the next song.  (I like to get two songs on a stream, if possible, when I count something.)  Buried a ways down in the rubble, including another Spanish station (not parallel to KELG stream), somebody sounding like Sports, and a weak rumble of other stations behind this.  NEW.

I hope I'm doing this properly.
Seeing Glenn Hauser's report about logging XETT-1430, and he telling us they're the only Mexican remaining on 1430, I decided to run about 850 feet of BOG (Beverage-on-Ground) at a bearing of about 200 degrees...pointed at Mexico City.  This report doesn't have a logging of XETT, though I did very briefly have Spanish on that frequency fighting other stations.  
The possibility of adding the hyper-rare state of Tlaxcala to the logbook was enough for me to go out into the farm-field in 20-degree weather and put out a lot of wire.  After all, KZQZ St. Louis (or whatever their callsign was) is entirely GONE.  There's almost nothing in the way to the southwest.  I hope for an Aurora, which didn't happen this time, and I have only three or four more "shots" MAX. at this, because I'm in Macomb only a couple days a month in the winter.  I primarily live in Chicago, and I'm in the final stages of "closing out" my place in Macomb and hopefully selling it this Fall.
This was my first "real" DX session in more than seventeen years.  I last did this seriously in December 2003 or January 2004.  I had a BOG with about the same parameters at that time.  I'll never forget one session, I think 11/30/2003, when the dial was an insane zoo of Mexicans!  ID's on frequencies like 610, 750 (SLP), 1250 (XESJ), 1310, 1320, 1330, 1340 (ugh, that one got away), 1430, 1470 (2)...KIRT owning 1580...etc.  Strangest reception was XERT-1170 with a *HOCKEY* game...in *ENGLISH*...on a Mexican "daytimer"!  
Come on, 2021 Aurora, make my day!  I'm loaded for bear!
PARAMETERS:  Kenwood R-1000.  BOG about 850 feet, oriented at 200 degrees (toward Mexico and east Texas).  All times are EST.
630  CFCO Chatham, ON (2/2 2240, and most of the session) - country music, and mentions of 92.9 and call letters.  This has become MUCH more common than I remember it a generation ago.
1320  KXYZ - presumed - Houston TX (2/3, 0011) - ruling the frequency, with Black Information Network programming.  This is a new network (born in 2020) with a NEWS format geared to the African-American and otherwise black community.
590  XEFD  Rio Bravo, Tams., MEXICO (2/3, 0028...NEW!) - was pretty much owning the frequency every time I checked.  Oddly I don't think that I ever logged this during my active 1988-2003 period.  Slogan "La Mejor" used liberally between songs
1560 KGOL - presumed  - Bellaire TX (2/3, 0036 et. al.) ruling the frequency with some sort of Asian programming.  This is their format, right?  Congrats to Paul Walker for recently logging this in Alaska!
1490 KPLT Paris TX (2/3, 0123...NEW!) - briefly caught their call letters, just after Charlie Rich "Behind Closed Doors" ended.  Not sure if that was them with the music, but any time I can pick off a new Texas graveyarder is special.  That song can fit a number of formats, including possibly the below:
1490 KDMO Carthage MO (2/3, 0214) - Call letters after a Lew Paul and Mary Ford song, and heard again about half an hour later with similar-vintage music.
1500 KCLF - TENTATIVE - New Roads LA (2/3, 0135, et. al.) - In and out for at least an hour with mostly Louisiana music, ALL STYLES from R&B to jazz to rock and roll.  I understand this is what they do...
1150 WHBY Kimberly WI (2/3, 0204) - Weather forecast (low of 10), and call letters.  Pretty sure I heard this way in the past.
1210 KUBR - presumed - San Jan TX (2/3, 0235) - well on top with regional Mexican music.  Didn't chase this, because it's already logged here years ago.
1350 WLOU Louisville KY (2/3, 0241) - old soul music, call letters not caught, but did hear mention of 104.7...but how did THIS get in there, with this antenna bearing?
Additionally, Spanish heard at least at one point on other frequencies:  630, 660, 700, 880 and 890 (Possibly parallel:  Cuba?), 940 (presumed XEQ), 970, 1330, 1380 (suspect a US station), 1420 (suspect a US station), 1430 (XETT?), 1440, 1530 (presumed KGBT), 1600.  Conditions didn't even favor Mexico.

The language is Farsi or a closely related dialect. Iran has some
programs
on 9835 kHz,but they don't play such happy music...in general that is.
