In addition to Paul´s and Don´s advice, if you really need a verification, 
without a printed logo on a sheet of paper, you might also consider asking 
for one on the phone.

Usually, no paper work is called for: just tell them what you have been
hearing. If this rings a bell with them, they will certainly tell you.

Although unrelated to Mexico, I would like to mention that
an UNID Bolivian on 1380 kHz reported by a Norwegian 
DXer as "R Balbera de Color" (or something similar; I don´t have 
the magazine in front of me), was, just as I suspected, an operation
calling itself R Bandera Tricolor.

I had to phone R Mosoj Chaski in order to find the phone number
for the station, and talking to the Stn Mgr, she had had no problem in
confirming the Norwegian DXer´s reception.

I asked them for a written statement, which they promised to send
me so that I would be able to forward it to the Norwegian. This paper
has not been forthcoming. Perhaps they considered a written statement 
a bit too compromising, especially for a station which was on the air without 
due permit. 

As the station is missing from the lists, I might add that they are (I don´t
know if they still are; perhaps Rogildo Fontenele could confirm this) on 
Calle Honduras, entre Lanza y República, in Cochabamba,
Bolivia, and that the private P O Box for Stn Mgr, Mrs. Gioconda Tapia,
is Casilla de Correo 1436, in Cochabamba.

The phone number is  +591 4 530582 (offices), 523224 (studio).
At least this was the case last year, when I investigated the matter.

Probably most DXers will not try to get a phone-in QSL, but in case
everything else fails, this is a way that works.
