Hi guys,

OK Risto, I'm sorry I forgot to mention the time. It was in the 02.00 - 02.30
UTC period, that is 20.00 to 20.30 hours Mexican time. That was well after
sunset at the transmitter point, so propagation to Europe would be possible.
Andrea is right: it all depends on what you define as middle of the night. If
that's 00.00 CET, then it would indeed have been daylight in MEX. 

Congrats on the ID, Harald ! I thought I was lucky too, until I replayed my tape
the next morning. That's life.

I think we'll all agree that Radio Mexico is not an easy catch. So beware of
possible Radio Prague spurious signals in addition to the regular WYFR
transmission. That was the intention of my original posting.

73's,
Michiel.
