11630, Jan 6 at 1450 UT. Arabic talk and then Qur'an recitation, fair
signal but slightly off frequency to the hi side, causing het with
something else. Per EiBi and WRTH, the other station here at this hour is
VOR in Urdu via Tajikistan. Kuwait is aimed 230 degrees, so they may hope
there is no collision in targets. Non-Qur'an Kuwait also heard on
non- // 15110 kHz in Arabic at 1505 UT.

MADAGASCAR [c.f. BC-DX TopNews #945] We now have three transmitters
back on the air following the fire at the RNW Madagascar relay station.
The 50 kW transmitter was activated today. The fourth transmitter, a 250
kW ABB rig, has suffered some heat damage and must be repaired, which will
take up to a week. Our Head of Distribution Jan Willem Drexhage says that
the Dutch word for the damaged components is
"hoogspanningsschakelaarbeveiligingselectronica" which he suggests would
be a good word for Scrabble, at least if you're playing it in Dutch :-)
There have also been some changes to which broadcasts are assigned to
which of the Philips transmitters. A revised schedule for all three
transmitters, effectively immediately, is in the Media Network Weblog.

MEXICO 6184.95 XEPPM Radio Educacion, Mexico DF. at 1131-1149* UT Jan
3. Excellent with fantastic electric violin solo covers of mosty 30's
standards and 30's/40's movie show tunes nonstop. Around 1146 UT, into
female Portuguese vocal sounded like Astrud Gilberto as I flipped to 1060
kHz to look for the parallel. Indeed 1060 kHz was there at 1148 UT with
the same vocal, but when I flipped back to 6185 kHz, they had just pulled
the plug! Too bad, as 1060 kHz is mostly all Cuba here (Radio Veintiseis).

Hallo allerseits, auf dieser Internetseite:
findet sich eine ziemlich umfassende Aufstellung von Radiostationen aus
Mexiko, mit Links zu den jeweiligen Livestreams.
Die Zusammenstellung ist nach mexikanischen Bundesstaaten gegliedert, und
unterhalb dieser Ebene nochmal nach (groesseren) Staedten.
Eine kursorische Ueberpruefung zeigt, dass einige der Stationen nicht bei
vTuner, Reciva und Co. gelistet sind. Es gibt also einiges zu entdecken.
