Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] TIP:

KXEX Fresno is Spanish religious stuff, per a recent logging in MN by Mark Durenberger and a few loggings here in IL last season.

On the hour, a SS accented guy gives calls in EE followed by La Misionera, Fresno.

Good tip on KKOV. They can make it hear by sunset skip also. However, I think that you might be an hour off on the power down times if using PDT.
