X(E)PRS has changed again (or is stunting)

But yes, Rey Mysterio has reinforced 619 as _the_ San Diego area code in public conciousness.

Only among those who know who he is ... which does not include yours truly.

I'm sure Miami has many area codes...

Three. 305, 786, and 645. Add in Broward County to the metro area, and there are two more (954 and 754). 23 total in the entire state; what cell phones hath wrought.
 
Does anyone know how XEPRS is going to bring back Charlie Tuna? Maybe edit old air checks to place at the into and outro of the breaks, and in between songs.
 
I'm wondering if they even have the permission of Brian Ferguson, Charlie's son and administrator of the estate, to use his late father's voicetracks at all.

In fact, I now wonder if Wolfman Jack's widow Lou Smith is getting any money from this venture either.

I have no idea who has the legal rights to The Real Don Steele's intellectual property since Shaune passed away ten months ago.

Since 1090 is a Mexico based radio station, it's possible they can get away with it, and avoid the legal repercussions of doing so.

You can hold in a thimble the amount of my legal knowledge, so....hmmmm

Just a thought...to make the conversation about 1090 easier to keep track of, maybe combine the two ongoing threads. If that's even possible ..

Already asked Lance that about a month ago. Board software doesn't have that functionality.

But it's apparently programmed from the San Diego side of the border so there's a U.S. party to serve papers on.

You're not the only one noticing strange things with the 1090 signal. Last Wednesday morning the signal was weak, but then back to tomorrow later in the afternoon. The same thing on Friday. Maybe, repairs are being done to the antenna system, like finally replacing the tower that went down.

It will be the MDCL+ to reduce electrical costs, which reduces power based on its modulation. I have seen in Mexico that they use any method to reduce costs.
 
It's a shame that Tijuana and the rest of Baja California do not have a strong market to support 50kW AM stations. XEPRS had the power to be a spoken news station in Spanish. But, there is no market. The same happens with 690 and 1700, which ended up being zombie stations.

If it is because of MDCL, then the engineer needs to adjust the algorithm. The signal shouldn't deteriorate as badly as it does now. I thought it wasn't supposed to be that noticeable when listening, except on the outer fringe of the coverage area.
 
Lincoln Madison…yes, that’s his real name…has everything you ever wanted to know about area codes at his website, lincmad.com.

Reminds me of the "Commercial Attaché" of the American Embassy in Quito in the later 60's, Madison Monroe Adams III.

"Commercial Attaché" was one letter short of CIA. But it was the same job.

It appears his site is having problems. I could only see it with Lynx on my shell account. Won’t work on iOS. He has a message on his site saying that it may take a few days to resolve the problem.
