[IRCA] Good News for XE DX'ers

["John Callarman" <JohnCallarman@xxxxxxx>]

Fred Cantú, who is continuously improving his website on broadcasting in México, now has added a listing by frequency for AM broadcasting stations.

He has also, for stations in Distrito Federal, cited powers for AM & FM stations.

As with every list involving Mexican stations, Cantú is ahead on many listings ... for example, XECT-1190 in Monterrey now is "Contacto 1190" with a news/information format.

I'm continuing the process of updating the list I produced a couple of years ago ... I'm up to 900 khz on the retype (fortunately, it's a re-edit rather than an absolute retype.)

A couple of observations ... unlike in the United States, there have been virtually NO new medium wave stations in México in the past decade, but many, many frequency changes as stations move from the upper end of the dial to the lower end. Half the stations in México now below 950 khz.

The FCC data base has undergone a wholesale revamping for México and has become useful again, though there are still many stations that haven't been updated and many more that have listings on both old and new frequencies.
