Educacion was around this morning too on 1060 if you hear classical on there with Spanish speech thats what it is.

I built a 4ft loop but was not getting any luck with it so i modified it to 40inch and now it's really working good for me

1060 MW and 6185 is Radio Education from Mexico City. This station is public radio, is operated by the Minstry of Education. XEW 900 MW for many years was owned by Televisa, now is owned by a spanish group, so you can hear W Radio in Colombia, L.A, Miami, Panama on local radio.

"W Radio" is a pan-Latin American news radio network, it can be heard across Latin America, into Europe and even Africa or Asia. The nearest "W Radio" transmitter to me is 1050AM from Mexicali/Tijuana also serves the Spanish-speaking audience in Los Angeles and San Diego, but that's before KCAA of San Bernardino went on the air last June. You can't get it normally west of Indio Cal. but face the radio south and it's VERY strong, at night it can bleed up to 1020 but not KNX 1070 from L.A.+
