Nope, not here. I have KCJJ and KKGM in the logs, but they are so rare. It's nearly always the KRND-XEUT battle on 1630. Also keep in mind XEUT goes off the air at midnight PT, but then airs a tone through the early AM hours. It gets out well, somewhere around 525hz?
CHHA 1610 is now 6250 watts Day and Night with a two tower DA that directs the signal to the West. It dominates the frequency in Michigan at Night, like a clear channel station, at least one operating with it's AUX.
I guess it depends where you are cause KCJJ is regularly heard on the Arctic receiver and some other European ones.
Apart from XEXX, Santa is just throwing gifts all over Kittitas County tonight.
The highlight so far was 850 KICY Nome AK. Children's chorus singing Silent Night in native language around 10:50PM PT tonight. Phenomenal stuff. They rarely show up here.

1470 XERCN Tijuana, with Spanish Christmas music // stream.
1330 TUDN on KWKW Los Angeles, shortly after XEXX-1420 was IDed. This was a busy channel. Later CJYM showed up, then an UNID with Coast to Coast way in the noise (KNSS?) and then KOVE WY on 250 watts I think, with Andy Williams // stream.

Great catches Crainbebo. The Alaskans have been very good this season. Caught KNOM on both the Arctic and Hawaii receivers almost every night lately.
Good stuff. CKDO caught my eye. It definitely has an impressive nighttime signal. Daytime signal is basically a Toronto rimshot. Variable at best across the metro. Nice catch!
Logged my first station of the new year last week on the 3rd. Around sunset that day, I was nulling out local 930 KLUP as much as I could to see what I could hear underneath. At 5:41 p.m. CT I started to hear a weak classic country station fading in and out. They were playing songs by Rodney Atkins, Martina McBride, and Travis Tritt.
I only heard brief talk and no IDs, but I was able to match the songs to the stream and website playlist of KOGA in Ogallala, NE.
The distance was 819 miles, and since Ogallala is on MST, I presume they were on 2.1 kW day power.

Have not heard Louisville on 790 since they were WAKY. Nice catch!
We (meaning Mike Cherry in BC and I) have been trying to ID this 810 khz station for a few nights now. Under and in the null of KGO is a faint Spanish or even Portuguese station. The other night it was Spanish pop, last night it was a male talking in either SS or PP. Mike also noted Mexican style music later last night. Not CKJS according to Mike (it's geoblocked outside of Canada now). Not Cuba. Perhaps an XE???
I also had someone very faintly with SS music on 1070 way under KNX, around 1:30AM last night. Perhaps another XE? Not CFAX.
I was able to ID something awesome last night - XEOY 1000 // stream under KOMO. Mil has been heard a couple times this month, conditions have been great.
Formula72 - Hearing WLW in the middle of the noise-filled Bay Area is AWESOME awesome awesome! Way to go!

Assuming that by "Mexican Music" you mean "regional Mexican" (norteña, ranchera, banda), that usually means either a US station serving Mexican heritage listeners or a station in Mexico. Mexican Regional music is not played in the rest of Latin America with the small chance of a station in Guatemala, El Salvador or Honduras playing some of it.
You might check US stations, even one that is forgetting to power down or power off at sunset... more and more common now that so many AMs with translators are paying very little attention to the AM facility.
I just noticed that KSWV in Santa Fe is on 810 with 5 kw day and 10 watts at night. The format is "Spanish Classic Hits" which would fit the description of regional Mexican, pop and other varieties.
However, the station also appears to play English oldies part of the time.
The station is on 24/7 via a translator. Translator associated AMs are notorious for not shutting down at sunset. This can often be because most of them run unattended after office hours and is, sort of, unintentional.
The station name is "Suave 99.9".
There are quite a few Spanish language stations on 810, but this one seems the most likely.

It's sad that so many AM's do this, whether it's "intentional" or "forgot again" (really neglect).
Operating at a variance damages reception to stations on your own frequency, the lower adjacent frequency, and the upper adjacent. It's not just some silly rule to "cheat", but harms the whole industry.
I've heard this station when visiting the southwest. When I heard it briefly during afternoon critical hours they were playing oldies.
Early yesterday morning I had my Sony ICF-IEX5MK2 parked on 1370, which I hadn't DXed in quite a while. Shortly before sunrise, at 7 a.m. CT, I heard a weak partial "103.5 KA?L" ID pop up, followed by Fox news. It was quickly taken over by KJCE in Rollingwood (77 miles from me). A web search indicated that the station was likely KAWL in York, NE.
I kept listening, and eventually local news talk faded in weakly with references to "the Nebraska Capitol." The talk matched KAWL's stream on Simple Radio. At 7:10 the frequency was obliterated by my very close local 1350 KXTN going to daytime pattern.
KAWL is 782 miles from me, and I assume it was transmitting at 500 watts.
