Did they mention 'La Fabulosa'? If so, it was WFNO. I logged it in
November, couldn't figure it out until I heard a reference to Baton
Rouge, then a phone number with area code, then 'La Fabulosa'. Don't
think I heard them announce the call letters, either. 750 nightime
watts, and I'm in Northern Illinois.

60 and 49 meter band were crapola tonight, so I did some MWDX.
Excellent conditions - pulling in loud and clear stations from Mexico,
Cuba and Belize.

I thought medium wave in Belice shut down years and years ago.


The station has no call, oddly, but it's 50,000W unlimited day and
night, as of the 1/1/04 WHAM logs. No other all-Spanish station with
music and programming indigenous to the Lastin world (in other words, it
was not a Spanish broadcasting USA station) anywhwere near that close
with that kind of transmitter. References I could pick up in Spanish
also indicated Belize City. It was as clear as suburban AM for quite a
while on 830 AM, though hampered by WCCO in Minneapolis.

Belize, the former British Hondras, is predominantly English speaking.

US Spanish stations, musically, often sound _identical_ to Latin American
stations.


True - but US based station invariably identify by call *at least*
once an hour, and usually more frequently than that - this station
(which I now believe wasn't Belize), did not, over a period of almost 90
minutes.
