John, That was great how many helped on that one! It was mostly process of elimination that led to KICA. So, it wasn't too surprising it was them. I logged both KICA and KMIN for new ones in the process. Both stations were weak here. KMIN was logged //'ing against their streaming audio. And, yeah, the word "Grace" sounded very much like "Praise".
XEMF moving to 980 from 970 caught me off guard when I heard them the evening before you. I discounted it as XENR, because I heard a "XENR" ID around 4-5 minutes later. When you mentioned you heard XEMF also, that cinched it. Four ears are better than two!

I, as well, thought that I was totally nuts when I heard that they first couple of times. Years ago, they were my first Mexican "real DX" on 780 and more powerful than now. When my local KSPI 780 would sign off, I could often hear them, if I could somehow null Chicago (which comes in almost as strong as my still-250 watt local.) Anyway, "Em-mey F-fey" is pretty hard to mistake, and now that two of us have heard them..... surely that is not an authorized move, with another Coahuila station on that frequency???
