780 Spanish Tijuana?

Tuesday, February 10 2004

That would be XESS in Ensenada -- they're in the process of moving from 1450.

They're supposed to be running 20/10kW from a transmitter site between Tijuana and Ensenada, but they are nowhere near as loud as XEKTT(XEPE?)-560, which is running that power from about 15 miles SW of Tecate.

The format is nice -- tropical music and "La Tropical 7-80" slogans. Sure beats listening to Sneer Channel garbage on every channel...

Chula Vista, CA
P.S. I can't tell if the old XESS-1450 is off yet. They've gotten out terribly for several years now, and there's usually no trace of them here.

All dates/times mentioned in my reports are Eastern Local Time for US/Canadian stations and GMT for all others.

Getting hammered by KKOH Reno, all music with few announcements. ID at
6:07 PM PST, XEFF Ensenada-Tijuana, Mexico. Must not be a powerhouse.
