That's possible. I simply said Colombia because the other poster thought it could be. Whatever it was, I can't claim it as a catch because I never heard an ID. On the other hand, the Jamaican is obvious, and is frequently heard here. At last sunspot minimum, CHTN was as strong as WGN here a few times, heralding a good North Atlantic path for European stations. Are you sure it was XEDE? They only run 250 watts at night (albeit non-directional). On the other hand, there are much stronger stations in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Colombia, and Venezuela, though I don't know their antenna patterns or hours of operation. XEDE increased to 5,000 watts non-DA some time ago; it has been widely identified as the dominant Spanish station on 720 in the WGN silent period, and is heard in places like Dallas, Denver, etc., with WGN on the air. Nicaragua is seldom heard if active; the YSR affiliate is about 5 kw and behind mountains, and seldom heard in the US since the 70's. Colombia and Venezuela were not coming in anywhere per DXers on a reflector that night. Outside of a few Mexicans, there are very, very few directional Latin American stations. |
