Re: [IRCA] For DXers targetting 1700-XEPE ....

[DXERak@xxxxxxx]

I decided to try to hear what Tim Tromp heard in West Michigan on Saturday  
morning-- the Mexican National Anthem played on 1700 kHz at 0800 EST  or 
1300 UTC. Sure enough, Monday morning at 1256 UTC I heard a weak  but 
unmistakable playing of the Mexican NA on that frequency, although  like Tim I could 
hear no other IDable material that I could link to XEPE..
 
The assumption that this is XEPE has merit. Not only is XEPE the only  
Mexican station on 1700, but 1300 UTC corresponds to 5 AM PST. By regulation all 
 Mexican stations must play the National Anthem at midnight and 5 AM local  
time, so this station was performing its regulatory obligation by playing 
it  then. Baja California state, location of XEPE, is the only state in 
Mexico in  the Pacific time zone.   
 
Thank you for the tip, Tim!

Hi  Steve,

I don't know about midnight, but I caught the Mexican National  Anthem here
this morning on 1700 at 8am EST / 5am PST.  I'm assuming I  heard XEPE (it
wouldn't be the first time), but the signal faded just  before TOH to
confirm.
