I've got an unid, or a sort of unid anyway, that I could use a hand figuring out. I've just caught a station on 1060kHz, trading places with KYW in Philadelphia but generally in the ascendant. It was playing jazzy instrumental music from about 0345 when I tuned in and heard it, but it shifted to a Spanish-language ID in a female voice at about the hour. It sounded like she gave composer details as well, though I couldn't catch them. I definitely heard references to Radio Nacional, and I know there was a web address in with the ID that had radionacional.something.something involved in it. If there hadn't been so much dang splatter from WTSO on 1070, I'd have caught this and wouldn't have a problem! That local is ridiculous. Argh!
I can't find a corresponding station with a Radio Nacional slogan. Could this have been a Mexican public broadcaster? Or have I potentially snagged a Latin American station of the same sort? Anybody have a clue?

There's a station in Mexico City, XEEP, that is 100 kw days, 20 KW nights... it would be a possibility.

Which direction was the station coming from?

Ooh, that's a possibility, especially as it sounded like the web address they gave ended in .mx. As for the direction this was coming from, I couldn't honestly tell. I don't have much room to work with (small apartment) unless I cart the rig to another room, and as it was, I felt pretty fortunate to hear anything besides KYW there at all. I couldn't tell directionally. Things are propogating pretty well north to south tonight, though, so I'm wondering if it wasn't XEEP. I should check it against the Radio Educacion on SW if I hear it again.
Thanks!
