My next station logged on 7th November 2021 was a very interesting one. It was Radio Educación in MEXICO, broadcasting in the Spanish language on 6185 kHz.

Radio Educación is a cultural radio station that broadcasts Spanish language cultural and educational programming.  The primary broadcast is on 1060 kHz, but Radio Educacion also broadcasts also operates a shortwave station, XEPPM-OC on 6.185 MHz

Radio Educación is based in Mexico City.

On the 30th day of November 1924, Radio Educación commenced broadcasting, at the initiative of the then Secretariat of Public Education, José Vasconcelos The purpose was to harness the potential of radio for the benefit of educational and cultural tasks in Mexico. The new radio station began broadcasting with the inauguration of President Plutarco Elías Calles, under the acronym CYE Culture and Education.

The program consisted of music including Pineapple Rag, music from Francis Lai, and Simon & Garfunkel. The reception however was overall poor. Radio Educacion’s signal was fair and there was no interference, but the static crashes were extremely loud and made listening very difficult.
