“Not long after the feds started regulating radio, Mexico's megawatt border blasters—high-powered stations planted just south of Texas and California—started beckoning. The FCC couldn't control them […] That same year, the Mexican government revised its radio licensing law, drastically reducing the X stations' autonomy.”

“X-station broadcasts could be heard occasionally in every region of the United States and in Canada, though it is difficult to know who listened to them.”
