call sign needed for AM "Cash 1700"

I'm trying to find the call letters for an AM/mediumwave station on 1700
khz that identifies itself as "Cash 1700". Their rather minimal website
is at http://cash1700.com/ . The station serves the San Diego,
California region but may be located in Tijuana. I couldn't find a
listing that seemed to match this station when I searched at
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/amq.html .

For some reason I thought the station's call letters were XEPE but the
FCC shows a station operating on 1450 khz with that call. Any help
identifying Cash 1700 would be appreciated!

Don't take any FCC listings of Mexican call letters too seriously. All
the FCC really cares about in Mexican listings are the tech parameters.
(and some of those are notified by the Mexican government but don't
actually exist. We - and the Canadians - do the same thing.)

The official Mexican government list is on
http://dgsrt.sct.gob.mx/fileadmin/ligas/radio_AM.pdf . However, this
list doesn't admit to any stations on 1700 in Baja California! It
doesn't list an XEPE either, at least not in Baja. It does list an XESS
on 1450.

IIRC the station is required to ID in Spanish at least once an hour and
I *believe* DXers have heard this ID.
