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:

[over 201,000 views! as of March 16, 2017]

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  E-W longwire

** MEXICO. [Re last week`s report about FM side of 730 XEHB:] They might even 
be missing the added E in the XHEHB ID, which is common for that variety of 
AM-FM migrant. (See: XHEOA, XHEPQ, XHECPQ which are known to ID as XHOA, XHPQ 
and XHCPQ. Fun fact: two of those "wrong" calls are actually available!)(Raymie 
Humbert, AZ, March 9, WTFDA Forum via DXLD)

** MEXICO. 1300, UT Monday March 13 at 0436, Radio Mexicana ID from XEP, and 
music, evidently not running `La Hora Nacional` now as would be expected 
Sundays at 10 pm local, since Juárez has certainly copied El Paso by going on 
MDT of UT -6, unlike further south in México, no DST until April 2 (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 730, March 9 at 1309, Spanish federal PSA for the Cámara de 
Diputados, and another one, then full ID for XEHB AM 730, 50,000 watts y XHHB 
FM 102.1(?), 25,000 ERP ``en efectivo``, with street address in Hidalgo del 
Parral, Chihuahua, ``sólo éxitos en Fiesta Estéreo``. WRTH 2017 still has the 
old ``Ke Buena`` slogan and no FM //. Or is it 107.1 as in IRCA Mexican Log 
2015?

Yes, WTFDA FM Database, which now includes Mexico, shows 107.1 is really 
XHEHB-FM in nearby San Francisco del Oro, Chihuahua, Estereo Fiesta, but fails 
to show // 730 XEHB. The real XHHB FM is 94.7 in Hermosillo; the E`s are 
inserted to avoid duplication as AM stations are forced to start migrating to 
FM, but are easily missed in hearing or even speaking.

I started bandscan upward from 540 a few minutes earlier, already after our 
sunrise at 1251, and this is the first Mexican still audible, despite horrible 
splash from 740 KRMG on 50 kW day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** MEXICO. 870, March 9 at 1313, XETAR hasn`t quite faded out yet, in 
indigenous language with some Spanish number-words, LV de la Sierra Tarahumara, 
Guachochi, Chihuahua, as long as WWL is nulled, still strong. Far from the 
border, this daytimer will keep signing on at 1300 UT until DST overtakes April 
2 for *1200, when our sunrise will then be circa 1210 UT, maybe reaudiblizing 
XETAR for a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521.0, March 5 at 0218, quite a het upon Kim Komando, 1520.0 
KOKC. Loops NE/SW, not SE/NW, so surely it`s the 2-megawatt BSKSA, Duba, Saudi 
Arabia, rather than a ZNS spur. No other TA carriers noted in cursory check of 
a few frequencies on MW & LW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
