Shortwave Broadcast / XEPPM Radio Educación 6185 AM 1020 UTC 19 MAR 2024

« on: March 19, 2024, 1022 UTC »

Very good reception with minor fades.  Originally thought this was Voice of Korea as ID-ed by websites.  Now think it is XEPPM based on music selections.  XEPPM was due to be off at 1000 utc but with recent time change maybe on until 1100 utc as they do not shift off standard time in Mexico City.

1020 Unid (classical?) instrumental tune
1025 Unid jazz instrumental
1031 OM talking but noisy, to another instrument piano tune
1044 "Nieve de Jazz" Guerrero Jazz, music playing but getting noisier as we approach local sunrise in 10 minutes
1056 "La San Marqueña " Guerrero Jazz
