Re: [IRCA] XEUR and XEMCA on 1090

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, that's my error, and thank you, Neil, for pointing that out.  I even wrote down XEAU in my logbook and still sent the message here with the XEUR calls!  :)  
 
One new logging since then, that being this morning in the form of KRFS-1600 in Superior, Nebraska.  Rarely heard here, despite the close proximity.  U.S. logging #702 and #793 overall in the logbook here.

>I think some list must have the calls mixed up. XEUR has been on 1530 in Mexico for as long as I can remember. The station on 1090 from Monterrey // 103.7 FM is XEAU. They tend to be the ones with lots of talk in the evenings and seem to be the dominant Mexican for me here in NE IL. I've also had XEMCA this season. Here's a good list of Mexicans. http://mexicoradiotv.com/frec_am_0800-1090.htm

>My current main antenna doesn't favor Mexicans since it aims 285 degrees and has a beamwidth of no more than 80 degrees. Of course it can get things from outside that beamwidth, but they tend to be reduced by at least several dB. Westerly and border area Mexicans come in OK, but those aren't outside the main beam. XEPRS has been heard weakly a couple of times. Tim Tromp from MI (Phased BOGs aim well for this area) has a nice recording of them on YouTube). It seems the ID slogan is The Mighty 1090 and they are also ESPN..noting 1700 is ESPN, but I'd let a So. Cal DXer confirm at that. KVOP is also possible and may use the same slogan, so be careful.

KBOZ and KFNQ can come in via sunset skip (wait til early Feb for much later switch times) and also can be noted weakly at night in good WNW cx poking thru the SSers.

>>>Hi Todd-

>>>    Sorry, didn't get your text until I got up this morning.  :)  Both XEUR and XEMCA can be confirmed by checking their webstreams.  XEUR // with XHFMTU 103.7, so that's the stream to check online.  I use www.tunein.com.  XEMCA plays mostly romantic SS ballads.  When I tuned in last night XEUR had a discussion between a man and a woman, and then I finally got a "Siento tres punto siete effay emmay" (103.7) ID at 9:20.  That might have been the same station I heard the night before just after Midnight our time playing 70s oldies ("One Of These Nights" by the Eagles, "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye, "The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band, "Kodachrome" by Paul Simon), too.  Good Luck!
