XEROK

XEROK is an AM (mediumwave) radio station that is a Mexican border-blaster licensed to operate at a power of 150 kW (150,000 watts) on a carrier frequency of 800 kilohertz from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. In the 1970s and into the 1980s, this station was known as "X-Rock 80, The Sun City Rocker" due to its close proximity to El Paso, Texas, U.S.A. and its dial position on analog-dial radios which would usually drop the last 0 in a frequency (that's why the dial on some radios will at the end read "x10 kHz." 80x10=800.) More recently, the station has been licensed to try Ibiquity's "H.D. Radio" digital transmission system as it attempts to resume broadcasting at its licensed power level instead of on lower power (as little as 500 watts.)
