Fred Cantú does very well on his updates for most of the states in México, but for Sonora, Coahuila, Baja California Sur particularly, he is weaker. There is, unfortunately, no single authoritative source that I have found that doesn't have areas where it is weak. I've tried to encourage more western U.S. DX'ers to monitor Mexican stations and keep us updated on slogans, etc. Cantú is probably the only observer of the Mexican radio scene who digs regularly for audio links.
XEDM used to be dominant in the west ... I heard them regularly from the Texas Panhandle in the '60s, 24/7, but they appear to be much weaker now. I'm very close to KGAF-1580, Gainesville TX, which is surprisingly hard to null for 250 watts, and haven't heard XEDM here north of Dallas/Fort Worth ... but when I'm in Arizona, I can still hear them. They were, indeed, the last time I heard them, "Noticias DM," but Medios Publicitarios Mexicanos, the quarterly rate card publication from México, shows their schedule as 6 a.m. to midnight, local time (GMT -7).

Hi all, I was just up on the Fred Cantu site, and despite the fact that the Sonora page is a hodge podge, I couldn't readily find any references to the city of hermocillo, but I did find x e d m, and they are calling themselves noticias dm, and I wonder if they are 24 hours, and if there is a listen link anywhere? I tried to go to their link, but their site is down, and I wonder how often Fred Cantu updates his site? I'm just curious as to how x e d m sounds today, verses 35 years ago or more, when their quality was horrid.
