Re: [IRCA] 1700 Texas/ Mexico

[Stephen Airy <pianoplayer88key@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,

Most of the time, 1700 XEPE and 1090 XEPRS simulcast each other, except for a few hours in the middle of the day when each runs their own programming.  Overnight, both have been running ESPN radio, with XEPE devoting more of its program schedule to ESPN than XEPRS.  XEPRS has some local sports programming (Scott & BR, Lee Hamilton, maybe a couple others I can't remember at the moment) through much of the day, and XEPE has some financial programming, including Ray Lucia, if I remember correctly, around the middle of the day.
Both stations are near-locals for me, receivable 24/7 with a good signal strength on my barefoot PL-606.  Interestingly, XEPE usually has a better sounding signal, in spite of being a couple dBu or so weaker than XEPRS.  I think this is probably due to the proximity of strong locals near 1090, whereas the area around 1700 is relatively clean.

73,
Stephen

02/13/11--22:00 PST ---Nanaimo BC.----1700 brought in 2 signals 
1. KVNS Brownsville Tex with old sixties music ( Stevie Wonder song)
2. XEPE ? Tijuana Mex with EE talk and ID as Double X 1090 and changing to SS ( Are they // to the Mex on 1090 ?--which usually renders KPTK Seattle useless in this area as it is a sky skip into the fringe of a groundwave.) Bill in BC
