The AM radio 'cannon' of Juarez, Mexico booming in over everything else with some guy talking a long time about what sounded like talismans (?). He mentioned something that connected with your family, your children, your woman, etc. Was no mention of Dios, El Senor, Biblia, etc. so it wasn't apparently religion.
Mentioned a Casa Mercado in Juarez, Chihuahua, and an address and a phone number (starting with 656, the Juarez prefix). I think it was a sort of informercial, but I'm not sure really for what. The word 'talisman' was mentioned, but it may have a different meaning the way it was used, or I could have heard it wrong.
Heard some loud ranchero music on the frequency earlier on the same bearing, but hadn't tried to ID it until I tuned back to hear this guy talking away in Spanish, w/ slight reverb on the voice.
Very interesting program... haven't logged this station here in the PNW since the 1980's, although another guy in the area logged them a few weeks ago.
Roughly 1300 miles -- the ol' TRF was doing its job well. I usually DX MW on my boombox but it wasn't handy.
Conditions are pretty strong towards the south tonight.

I've had XEROK here pretty reliably recently too - Madison, WI. Missed the talisman program, but that does rather sound like them. That makes me think of the programming they used to air during the border buster hayday... before my time, found out about it later. Heh. If XEROK isn't audible here, chances are Windsor, Ontario's CKLW will be. Propogation to the south really has been great lately, you're right.
Nice catch! :)
