XESURF-AM
Hi, you might want to know that the station is listed as 100 watts by the IFT's Coverage Viewer. Where does the 25,000 figure come from? Raymie (t • c) 18:12, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Raymie, the IRCA mexican list says 25,000 Watts. 104.218.68.222 (talk) 18:41, 8 September 2019 (UTC) Paul

Also, Raymie.. i checked with a friend who edits the IRCA AM Mexican list. .and he says when XESURF signed on, they announced themselves on air.. that they were 2500 Watts 104.218.68.222 (talk) 18:41, 8 September 2019 (UTC)Paul


 * Huh, it does. The better question is how did they get a figure so different from the official one? I'd probably prefer to list 100 watts and say that some DX sources differ. (Then again, XESURF is not your average Mexican radio station.) Raymie (t • c) 18:49, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Raymie, this is what my friend with the international radio club of america said, hes one of the guys who edits their mexican am listings; "When they first signed on in the early 1990s they announced 25000w days and definitely sounded like it. They were listed as 100w nights but always sounded like more.  I would guess they run less than 25kW days and more than 100w nights.  The Mexican government is extremely sloppy about keeping track of licensed powers.  Even the new, more bureaucratic IFT often fails to list powers and transmitter locations on the paperwork for CP grants." 104.218.68.222 (talk) 04:35, 9 September 2019 (UTC)Paul
