26745 kHz AM 26.745 MHz AM.  Spanish language, not a taxi this time.  Two stations having a very long form QSO.  Been talking for a good 45+ minutes.  These guys were here when I originally tuned in to see if the taxi lady on 26.765 MHz AM was active.  SIO 333 or so.  Not overly loud, but nice and readable, good AM audio and carriers are on frequency.  In other words, they're not running hacked up splatterbox radios, which is always nice. 

The taxi lady on 26.765 MHz AM has gotten considerably stronger over the past ~45-50 minutes or so, so chances are the propagation to Mexico is improving.

Receiver:  W3HFU SDR (KiwiSDR)
U.S. East Coast, various HF/VHF/UHF radios/transceivers/scanners/receivers - land mobile system operator - focus on VHF/UHF and 11m

Yessir, they've been talking for well over an hour now.  Still coming in nicely on 26.745 MHz AM.
