[IRCA] Opening to Mexico City



Most mornings I get up around 5am and after making coffee and firing up the email I check two things that 'set the tone' for the radio day - first 738 to see if there's a 'trace' of Tahiti [you'd be surprised how often there is a whisp of a carrier floating by though no real audio yet ... after 5+ years] and 760 to remind myself I'm from Michigan and, more importantly, to see if there's anything coming around/through/over WJR.

Yesterday, as I went from 738 to 760 and before I switched the Wellbrook array to 'south' I heard some great ranchera music under WJR.  After checking to see that the station was not coming in near as well on the south array I switched back to the west array and set Mestor to record across TOH at 1000utc.

In going over the recording last night I got only as far as 790.  Here's what I have so far:

WYHM - 580 - Rockwood, TN - 'The Holler' - new here @ home, heard previously at Bay House, near Reedville, VA on a 1400' BOG facing west.
