XERF 1570 AM 0232 UTC 22 October 2019
« on: October 22, 2019, 0300 UTC »
Heard XERF in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, with what sounded like a woman hosting a talk show with a caller, some ads or promos and then ballad music, all of which matched the station’s livestream. The signal was very clear, but it was barely there at times, fading up to no better than poor most of time and affected by that choppy distance fading noise. By 0243 UTC, however, it was peaking at fair.

This one, of course, is throwing out 100,000 watts (I think that's still true, right?). The distance from here to there is more than 1,700 miles.
