BROADCAST ELECTRONICS (BE) announced today that 170 station owners and
engineers attended the first public demonstration of AM HD Radio
broadcasts in MEXICO on SATURDAY, MAY 26. XEXL-A/PATZCUARO, MICHOACAN
broadcast AM HD Radio live through a BE AM 2.5E transmitter as part of
the demonstration, which was held in conjunction with the 71st
convention of the Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Radio y
Television (CIRT) in nearby MORELIA. Broadcasters gathered at the
station's studios to listen to XEXL programming off-air on a variety
of HD Radio receivers.

"Most expressed surprise at the FM-like stereo audio quality and said
they had not heard AM HD Radio outside carefully controlled
demonstrations at the NAB convention," commented JOHN SCHNEIDER, the
LATIN AMERICA sales manager for BE, which helped introduce FM HD Radio
to MEXICO broadcasters in 2004.

The AM demonstration comes just weeks after MEXICO officials approved
HD Radio for the country's AM and FM stations located within 200 miles
of the U.S./MEXICO border.

***Walker's Note: Just an FYI, XEXL is on 1020Khz with 1KW Fulltime,
so says Radio-locator.com***
