I got started in BCB DX in the late 1960's as a pre-teen and it continues to
be a favorite. But I absolutely agree with RadioGuy in that the Mexican
stations are trashing up the band. What's also changed over the years,
making station identification more difficult, is the syndication of talk
shows. You just don't find much local content when tuning the band to use
as an aid in ID'ing a station. Don't know if anybody else has noticed that
over the last decade or so.

I began BCB DX in the early sixties, and what *I* miss most is that
back then, any and all stations identified *at least* every fifteen
minutes, and most more often than that. Today, I get more clues about
location from the local commercials than anything else, and I have heard
some (usually talk radio, as you imply) that ID only once an hour, best
as I can tell.
