The IRCA is proud to announce the release of the 5th edition of its
MEXICAN LOG. The IRCA MEXICAN LOG log lists all AM stations in Mexico
by frequency, including call letters, state, city, day/night power,
slogans, schedule in UTC/GMT, formats, networks and notes. In
addition, stations that have changed frequency since 1996 are
cross-referenced on the old frequency. The call letter index gives
call, frequency, city and state. The city index (listed by state, then
city) includes frequency, call and day/night power. The log has been
completely updated from the 1996 edition and carefully cross-checked by
IRCA members in Mexico and the US. This is an indispensable reference
for anyone who hears Mexican radio stations. Size is 8 1/2" x 11" and
three hole punched for easy binding (optional).

On March 30th Entercom, who owns both stations have been OKed to switch
freks. KKSN will go to 1520 Khz with 50/15 KW and KFXX will go to 910
with 5 KW. Formats remain the same. The reason for the move is that
Entercom wants better coverage for the Seattle Mariner's will be better
at night on 910. KFXX is Sports Talk and KKSN in AS.

Vilahuelta" or "Radio Cinquienta"??
880 24etc 0800 "Radio Unica" in Spanish. KWIP? No local ID,

COMMENTS
Well quite a weird night. Got to watch some Northern Lights and with
very disturbed conditions the band was in a state of flux all night.
Would LOVE to know who was on 1386. It seemed like different stations
fighting it out. 99% sure about AA music and FF talk. WHO?? Domestic
DX was poor. Only 2 TIS's heard which for United States is very
unusual. Sunrise was a bust. Should have slept in. Poor DX was
probably due to the warm temps and easy walk in. Snow was hard and we
had no trouble getting across the field. Three DX'ers. Three ICOM's
and three times the fun!!!

660 MEXICO, San Jose del Cabo BCS XESJC 3-24 0656 Have been chasing
this the last 3 or 4 nights and finally confirmed my suspicions
that this CP is on the air. Generally fair u/KTNN but fades up
nicely at times. Always has an ID a few minutes before their
0700 sign-off (they play the Mexican national anthem around
0700). I believe I heard one "La Que Buena" slogan (a very
popular slogan these days), and possibly another slogan that
included the word "Barracuda", but I'm not sure. New, BCS #5, XE
#248. (TRH-CA)
I strongly suggest a visit to Fred Cantu's excellent web page
(http://www.onr.com/user/fcantu/index.htm) for lots of information
about new Mexican CPs...

Tim Noonan - Madison WI - DXing@xxxxxxxxx
We took a two-day trip to central WI last week, mostly for visiting
studios and towers. We had a lot of luck and a great time getting
away, though it was one of the coldest trips we've ever taken--it was 5
degrees when we got up in Wausau (at the Super 8).
Here are some radio items that were noteworthy, at least from my point
of view.
Medford WIGM 1490 is NSP, with talk.
Merrill WJMT 730 is talk mornings, soft AC 2-6 p.m., talk overnights,
NSP.
Schofield WRIG 1390 giving satellite standards IDs as "Big Rig AM
1390."
Wausau WXCO 1230 signs on at 6 a.m. and signs off at 12 or 1 a.m.,
depending on the day; 99.1 translator for WMZK 104.1 noted on the
air; 27 translator for WJFW-TV 12 also noted on.
Wisconsin Rapids 1320 has some music on weekends (soft AC), but is all
talk/info weekdays; 93.5 translator for WWIB 103.7 noted on.
