Re: [IRCA] [dxtip] XEPE-1700

["Tim Hall" <timhall1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good question.  As far as I can tell, the other two appear to be
running more reasonable powers - it seems to me they negotiated
something like 5kW days, 1kW nights, and I would guess they are
behaving themselves more or less.

Co-managed perennial cheater KURS-1040 has reportedly been fined a
couple of times for running over their authorized night power, but
that's on a much smaller scale.  I think their licensed power is
something like 63 watts; I suspect they are still running several
hundred watts today, and were probably running at least 1kW several
years ago when they got fined.

XEPE is obnoxious.  They're at the very top of the band, yet I'd be
hard pressed to name a 50kW station that gets out so well.  They slop
all the way down to 1640 during the day, and create a mixing product
on 1560 (mixing with nearby XEUT-1630, which appears to have cut power
in the past year or so) which sometimes persists well into the night.

Surprisingly, the 1030/1040 combo does not generate whole lot of
interference, even when one listens from locations between the two
transmitter sites.  The same was true of 540/550 when XEKTT(XEPE)
started operating from Tijuana (nominally Tecate) on 550.

We need a good sheriff to come in here and clean up this lawless town!
 Last I checked, we still had a pirate on 96.9.  I think the 106.9 is
gone...  And the newer stoplights generate some of the loudest
electrical noise I have ever heard.

73, Tim
