Greetings TOM!   
      
      
    RW> TW>>  And it has been there ever since 1951 when I first cale to SDan   
    RW> TW>> Diego when there was only Three TV channels, Ch 6 with their   
    RW> TW>> transmitter located in Mecico   
      
    RW>> Otay Mesa...   
      
    TW> Not True, It Has a Mexican Call Sign   
      
   Duhhhh. XETV is a Mexican licensed TV station, thus its ID as XETV.   
      
    TW> XETV-TDT, virtual channel 6 (UHF digital channel 23), is a   
    TW> CW-affiliated television station that is licensed to Tijuana, Baja   
    TW> California, Mexico, whose over-the-air signal also covers the San   
    TW> Diego, California area across the international border in the United   
    TW> States.   
      
   Duhhhhh. 26 miles away on a 144 deg compass reading from my old address in   
   Clairemont.   
      
    TW> The station is owned by Mexican media company Grupo Televisa, and its   
    TW> San Diego-based English-language programming and sales rights are   
    TW> held by Bay City Television, a California-based corporation owned by   
    TW> Televisa. XETV maintains production facilities on both sides of the   
    TW> border: its technical operations and "transmitter" are based on   
    TW> "Mount San Antonio in Tijuana",   
      
   Actually, their studios are located on Ronson Rd, ZIP 92111 and in   
   Tijuana (but the TJ address given has to be a mistake, as it is a   
   grocery store in the 'ghetto' of TJ"...one can see their US studio from   
   N-163 just before you get to the Clairemont Mesa Blvd exit...the small   
   tower and all of the dish antennas on the property and buildings are a   
   dead giveaway.   
      
   Ever been to 'Monte San Antonio, Tijuana' - basically it is a tall hill   
   about the same height as or a bit shorter than Black Mountain (not really   
   a mountain) in Le Mesa, but it has a 'mesa' look to it. Flat like a   
   table, which the word 'mesa' implies!   
      
    TW> while its American operations (including studios, newsroom and   
    TW> advertising sales) are located in the Kearny Mesa section of San   
    TW> Diego.   
      
   I've been to their tower in Tijuana, it has a great view, but it isn't a   
   mountain, per se'...I could see Mt Soladad from there, but it was buried   
   in Mexican pollution, aka smog.   
      
      
       Have a day!
