99.1 & 105.1 Cd. Juarez/El Paso swap formats

[Huff]

@MegahertzMX reports that the formats of Radiorama's 99.1 XHEPR and 105.1 XHIM have been swapped.
The grupera "La Madre" format has moved from 105.1 to 99.1, with the bilingual classic hits format "Studio" moving from 99.1 to 105.1

How well does 99.1 do in western El Paso? IIRC, 99.1's transmitter is located well inside Mexico (~25 miles south of Downtown El Paso). I know the station has been used in the past to target El Paso with English language programming. But with the Mountain west of Juarez, I can't imagine the signal being very strong on the west side/Sunland Park area.

That's why I asked. On the map, you can see Cerro Bola creating some shadowing effect towards West El Paso. What you see in Paper doesn't necessarily always ring true.

Also, Mexico doesn't really update their databases. For all we know there could be a Booster facility in Ciudad Juarez.

The last update to the CPCREL was March 25, so that's definitely not it.
