This station in Salem, Oregon, is listed as running a "regional Mexican" format, but it's now joined the small network of Pacific Northwest stations running a contemporary Christian format in Spanish. It took a couple nights to hear the full English ID that runs one minute after the top of the hour, but I finally caught it.

Other stations in this "la Estacion de la Familia" network that are mentioned in the ID include KBRO and KLDY, which are both in the greater Seattle area.

This station officially runs only 690 watts at night, but it seems to dominate this frequency after dark at my place, which is about 217 miles north of Salem.
