> [@gkster](#): > > 1. XE???, Mexico City > > Looking at the list of Mexico City radio stations I can’t tell which it was. My sibs and I made up our own version of their ID jingle and it started with an XE and had 3 other letters. The list has several possibles including XERFR, XEITE, or maybe it was a now defunct station. Could it have been XERB? That was Wolfman Jack’s “border blaster,” that pumped out 500,000 watts, and blanketed the US and parts of Canada. Heck, I recall hearing it occasionally, as a child in southern Ontario.
