Pirate radio 102.5 FM

E

While I tried to pick up 102.5 KSFM in my apartment in San Francisco, I don't know where this station is coming from, but all I heard was a tropical salsa music blasting loudly on this frequency. Has anybody heard this station?
 
I was up on mt diablo in the east bay this weekend, and could hear it under KDON, I've also been hearing a Spanish Talk station on 106.7 from bay point

Could it have been some salsa flavored pop music or hip-hop? If so, Travis is probably right - you may have been picking up 102.5 K-Don from the Monterey/Salinas area.

I don't know where your apartment is in San Francisco, but I live in Bernal Heights on the south side of the hill. Over the air in my house, San Jose and South Bay radio stations actually come in clearer than most stations licensed to San Francisco. TV reception is the same - over the air, I can get KSBW 8 in Monterey.

A bit of history - as a kid in the 60s, I would DX far away stations from where I grew up in LA (San Fernando Valley). One of the stations that came in quite clearly was KDON 1460 AM, which had a pretty good "Fake-Drake" Top 40 format.
 
I know it is a pirate radio station, because all I heard was announcers speaking Spanish and playing tropical music. Plus the audio sounds so over modulate. Where I live is near City College of San Francisco, I cannot pick up KDON because of San Bruno Mtn, but I can pick up Sacramento KSFM.
