so these power house stations would set up on mexican soil, right at the 
boarder?
I suspect mexico didn't have any real laws surrounding communications and so 
on back then, so the operators of those stations had more or less free rain 
if they were on mexican soil right?
seems like a pretty slick way of promoting your own propiganda lol.
Though I've always found it slightly interesting how much media broadcast 
stations are controlled by the government.  Power restrictions, direction 
restrictions, location restrictions and so on.
there doesn't seem to be the pervasive all american capitalistic attitude 
when it comes to mass media and broadcasting when the government controls 
it.
