Stephen Ponder <stephen_ponder@...> #8514 Kirk, Way to go! By my calculations, that's over 700 miles! According to the FCC AM Query, they use three towers in a directional pattern and they're only 250 watts at night!! I've never heard an XE from the Estado de México before. Good catch! 73, Stephen H.

Along came a station...in SS, you guessed it. VERY lucky this one faded up at the right time. 1080, XETUL, Tultitlan, Mexico, 0105-0330+ UTC, 3/15/10, all SS tlk until finally some mx was hrd after 0148. Faded up to a fair lvl @ 0157 when there was a full ID. "XETUL, Radiotelevision Mexicuense.. .Radio ?....Una Radio Diferente." Call ltrs came through quite well. Played variety of tunes including a clscl number w/ full orchestration. Possibly this sta also played a Stevie Wonder song 0253. Faded up to fair lvl several times, about every 20 minutes, otherwise it was weak to hardly audible. My ears are strained, so I'm calling it a day! 73!! Kirk Allen Pasadena, TX
