Hi Tom,

 From my Clifton New Jersey location I did hear XERF once.  The Canadian 
station was the predominant on 1570 but conditions must have been a bit 
auroral at the time.  I was able to take advantage of a favorable null 
of the Canadian and catch an XERF station id.

I heard another of the classic Mexican stations on an early Monday 
morning when WHN was off for transmitter proof of performance and CHUM 
in Toronto was nulled.  It was XEG.  They identified as "The one hundred 
thousand watt clear voice of Monterrey Mexico".

It's still fun to DX the broadcast band despite the fact that 
programming content on AM radio for the most part is abysmal.
