Re: [IRCA] HUGE Mexican music-formatted signal on 810 (TN, MI or IN?) in ON

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** U S A. 810, Jan 22 at 0655 UT, novelty song in Spanish, 0657 ``La Sabrosita 810, Radio Rama``, more music. Mexican loops E/W so must be very close to the border west of here. But none of the XEs on 810 have that slogan according to Cantú, IRCA and WRTH. Of two RAMA group stations, 1 kW XESB in Santa Bárbara, Chihuahua is well-positioned, but it`s a Radio Mexicana (BTW, 810 bears 15 Mexicans, second only to 1340 with 17; why? So much for once clear-channel XEFW Tampico, whose 50 kW day must plummet to 1 kW nite).

So I google on ``Sabrosita 810`` and that goes immediately to WMGC in Murfreesboro TN! http://www.lasabrosita810am.net/inicio.html
where there isn`t much except a UStream link. NRC AM Log confirms that slogan, 24 hours, but only 6 watts at night! Yeah, sure, 5 kW day power is more like it, or maybe 500 watt PSRA power. FCC AM Query on the PSRA shows a complex schedule

with 500 watts applying only to certain segments after 6 am local (now 12 UT), otherwise 10 or 16 watts, all in deference to WGY. Presumably RAMA would not apply to WMGC, so maybe that is not the acronym I heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
