      Greetings TOM!               RW>> I'll bet it does, or their tower wouldn't be in Mexico.               RW> TW>> It is the CW network and on Cox Cable called SD6               RW>> That matters a hill of beans. They broadcast over the air from their        RW>> location in Mexico. What they probably do is xmit a UHF LOS signal        RW>> to the broadcast location. What they must have is a FCC license to        RW>> send that programming from the US to Mexico. Cox Cable is just that,        RW>> a cable company who uses programming that needs no station ID to use        RW>> the program.               TW> While Ch 5, 7, 8 ,9, 10, and 11 are identified by their Cal sign in        TW> hte years i havew bene watching SD6 I have never seen any call sign.              I recall hearing XETV identify it's broadcast, over the air.               TW> And XETV is using VHF Digital Channel 6 for both the Spanish and        TW> English broadcasts. The Spanish broadcasts are identified as XETV              That's a hoot. All of those frequencies below ch7 have been given to       another service, in the USA. XETV in TJ is broadcasting on ch6 in Mexico,       but XETV-DT is broadcasting on digital channel 23, also from Mexico.              [Border Blaster Stations}              "As was the case between the 1930's and the 1970's, some border blaster       stations in areas near larger American border cities such as San Diego are       leased out by American broadcasting companies and air English-language       programming targeting American audiences. The American side leases the       station from the Mexican station owners/licence holders and feeds       programming from their American studios to the Mexican transmitters via       satellite."              Thus justifying the amount of dish antennas at XETV studios in Kearny       Mesa.                      Have a day!               R\%/itt - K5RXT              --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: HAM Radio, aka Amateur Radio. 804?
