First, I want to thank God for giving me the opportunity to receive plenty of TV DX, to have adequate equipment to do DXing, and to have the wisdom to use the equipment for DXing.
Second, let me say that TV DXer extraordinaire Mike Perron in South Louisiana (who has IDed many Mexico TV stations) IDed XHPAH-3 Pachuca, Hidalgo, a couple of times prior to my logging of XHPAH-3. His information was helpful to me.
Details of This Log: E-skip from Mexico was first noted at about 0940. During late-morning, stations from northern Mexico were mixed with stations from Chiapas and Tabasco. By noon, strong skip settled into an area that stretched southward from Tampico to Las Lajas and Puebla and westward to Guadalajara. The MUF was channel 6 at times. Although channel 2 continued to contain multiple signals, XHP-3 Puebla's strong, long-lived signal totally died out by 1330, leaving an empty channel 3. Within minutes, a weak signal with a music video program could be seen. Reception of XHPAH-3 Pachuca, Hidalgo, lasted about fifteen minutes. Toward the end of the XHPAH reception, XHTV-4 Mexico City was fairly strong.
More than ten years had passed since I logged a new state from Mexico.
