The fact is that XHLNC is operating legally per US law and FCC
regulations... KPFK has no claim to protection in San Diego.


Border stations have always been a gray area. Mexico has never been
very keen on FCC style radio regulations, and since the border
stations are a long ways away from Mexico City, they do whatever they
want. In the 1930s MW border stations operated with hair curling
wattage levels. In one case, a border station regularly blew away
Philadelphia's KYW at night. After WW2, the border blasters mostly
shut down. Today, border radio is mostly a problem in California and
Texas's Rio Grande Valley, the only places with significant numbers of
people living on the line. Stations regularly set up antennas in
Mexico and broadcast in English. They're effectively beyond any
regulation-the Mexicans don't care, and the US can't touch them. If
Pacifica Radio wants to get out of XHLNC's shadow, I would suggest
they move. But practical solutions are beyond libs, they'd rather
whine.
