Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1060 XERDO

[neilkaz <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I knew it wouldn't be long before you guys south of me logged XERDO. Aha..so it is KXPL on the low side of 1060! I had wondered, but hadn't bothered to try to dig out audio from this which is quite close to 1060 XEEP. I'll check my recordings more diligently now. KXPL has only been logged here twice via sunset skip over the past two decades. 

I was out much of the day and last night so was only able to record at 0400 before heading to bed. XERDO wasn't as good as the previous couple of nights.

The hourly ID I recorded a couple days back clearly says " Reynosa and then Ignacio Zaragosa". Googling shows me that Ignacio Zaragosa is a school in Reynosa and it is also a street and there's an address associated with this station group here. http://radioavanzado.com/

As to where to actually specify their location I am unsure, but they announce Reynosa but these cities are rather close together on the Mexican side of the RGV so likely the station serves several cities.

>** MEXICO [and non]. 1060-, [slightly on the lo side] Dec 19 at 0230 UT I`m looking for the new XERDO in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, as reported by KAZ. There is a bigsig dominating with romantic music in Spanish, ``cada canciÃn``, but it`s E/W, not N/S; and 0233 ID as ``KXPL [letters pronounced in English], Radio El Paso-JuÃrez, con su mÃsica, toda A-M``, then ranchera. However it disappears abruptly at 0234.4*. It is *supposed* to be a 10-kW daytimer-only. Official FCC sunset for it in December is 0000 UT (January: 0030 UT). It does have a PSSA of a hefty 7 watts! But in December that would last only until 0200 UT.

>1060, as soon as KXPL goes off, I can now get a weaker SS station from the N/S at 0234 UT Dec 19; SHVA exclaims ``10-60, la estaciÃn de todos``, but heavy QRM. This may well be XERDO. [Yes! See below]

>On NRC-AM, Neil Kazaross, IL, reported Dec 17: `` For the past couple of nights I'd noted a signal on the high side of 1060 in Spanish and since XEEP was also noted as usual and since KIJN had been noted running all night earlier in the season, I didn't pay any attention to it. Last night it was quite strong and certainly didn't sound like religious Spanish programming, and wasn't XEEP so I paid more attention to it. My Perseus measured the frequency as 1060.076.

>At 0400 UTC I recorded a nice ID with calls and "La Raza" slogan and 7000 watts mentioned and an address in Reynosa.

>Anyhow, their move from 1450 licensed to Matamoros is complete and I expect this station to be widely heard. 73 KAZ Barrington IL Perseus and Phased DKAZ antennas with the beam steered about WSW.``

>Barry McLarnon, Ottawa, Ont., replied, ``I've also noticed this signal recently, producing a "hum" on the high side of KYW, which was being backgrounded by XEEP. Two nights ago, I measured the carrier frequency to be 1060.0774. Not much chance for audio given my local noise woes, but it's nice to know what it is anyway. Barry``

>At 0325 UT Dec 18, Kaz replies again: ``Trivial to log XERDO again tonight with grupera music and seemingly an ID after every song. "La Raza, Mil Sesenta, La Estacion de Todos." 73 KAZ Barrington IL Perseus and phased array of two DKAZ with the main beam steered roughly WSW. .. i.e. "Toto, I think we are back in Kansas." 1340 KGGS Garden City noted again etc.``

>That clinches it for me as I heard the same slogan. Altho XERDO on 1060 from Reynosa instead of 1450 from Matamoros changed too recently to make it into the IRCA Mexican Log or the WRTH 2015, it was already reported more than a biweek ago by Greg Hardison. At the time I did not realize it was newly on 1060:
>
>``I've been plying a remote receiver in New Orleans, during middle-of-the-night spare time, and note this morning (Dec 2) that WLNO/1060 is off the air, shortly after 0700 UT. Frequency without local consists mostly of a battle between Ranchero XERDO, and the much more entertaining XEEP; one of whom seems to be somewhat off frequency, creating a half-buzz SAH. WLNO's woes seem financial in nature, affecting owner Communicom Corp. of America, also ex-owner of KXXT/1010 and KXEG/1280 in Phoenix. Both of the Arizona outlets were noted up & running during a visit starting Nov 20; FCC website lists new owners for those two.  Very 73z -- GREG HARDISON``

>The MPM listing of it on 1060 linked above was last updated on October 16. Also says transmitter site is Vallehermoso, Tamaulipas, which is SW of Matamoros, further from the border, but also further from Reynosa. Cantà has it on 1060 as 7/2.5 kW, but nombre as ``La Radio`` and location as Matamoros, not Reynosa. 
>
>1060, at 0235 UT Dec 19 I am now getting a Spanish music station from E/W, but it`s praise music, keywords such as ``redentor``, ``bendiciÃn``, so it`s obviously the usual KIJN Farwell TX cheater, which earlier had been overcome by KXPL.

>1060, at 0239 UT Dec 19 back aiming N/S, Spanish station is not // 6185 XEPPM, so at the moment it must again be XERDO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
