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.
