[IRCA] 1700 Mystery solved - XEPE-560 has been testing on 1700

["Tim Hall" <tim_hall_dx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The wandering knuckleheads are moving again, this time to 1700, where they 
should have gone in the first place (there has been a standard X-band 
allocation on 1700 kHz in Tecate for about 5 years).  The 560 allocation 
dates back to the 70s, and if I recall correctly, was just for a 250w or 
500w daytimer!

I listened to them before 8pm PDT/11pm EDT tonight, and it was the same 
format, same voice-over announcer, just changed the slogan to "Romantica... 
Amor 1700 AM".

I'm just waiting for the ID to make it official.  This is clearly them.

Oddly, at 8:23pm PDT / 11:23pm EDT, the 1700 station was off, and there was 
a relatively weak OC on 560 and 780.

These clowns have been on 4 channels in less than a year... 1600 to 550 to 
560 to 1700.  I think they beat the record of XEYQ, which if I recall 
correctly, moved from 1510 to 1500 to 890 to 640, but not that quickly!
