Re: [IRCA] 5-letter call signs

[Stephen Airy <pianoplayer88key@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's also a bunch of 6-letter calls in Mexico.  I was compiling a list, but my browser crashed and didn't save the message, I've now hit my daily radio-locator limit (and using hidemyass.com as a proxy doesn't work for them - won't submit the query - any other free proxy sites i should try?), I'm too lazy to use my android phone (was a bit of work to figure out on google maps where to center the searches, anyway), and the FCC query last I checked a few hours ago was down.
Anyhow, I do know that my local 540 is XESURF, and I also see a listing for XEABCA on 820 in Mexicali (as well as a XEVMS, so I'm not sure which it's supposed to be).
I've noticed, too, that many Mexicans have a number appended on the end of the callsign.  Most often it's a 1, although there are a bunch of XENVA2s in the FCC database, and there are several that are XE and 4 numbers.  Also I saw at least one on 610 (forget the exact call) that began with XH.
Last but not least, I didn't find XEKK when I was searching, but I did find XESHT1. ;)

I can think of three right off the bat... 

XEROK-800  (which everyone within 500 miles of Juarez should be able to get on 
his/her fillings) 

XEBJB-570  (logged years ago, but I think it's no longer on the air) 
XEABC-760  (which I'm still trying for, but XEES keeps getting in the way!)
