  1. The CBX makes it easy to cross the border. You buy the pass/ticket online. In the TJ airport at baggage claim, after you have your bags, you proceed to the CBX ( Big Signs, Impossible to miss) and walk through the passage way to the US border, go through US immigration and Customs and you are out into the US side of the CBX. It’s like an airport terminal.  Going back to Mexico is the same process and you walk across the border  into Mex customs and immigration, then pass into the TJ airport. The easiest border crossing in the world.

  2. 20 years ago it was possible for a Resident Permenente to obtain an Amateur Radio license and a XE callsign. At that time SCT was the governing body. Now there’s a new entity since about four years ago (IFT) that regulates amateur radio licensing. They have effectively shut down reciprocal licensing and its impossible for a non Mexican to get an XE license.

  3. Shaw TV is a satellite broadcaster ie; a point to multipoint tv distribution service using Ku-band satellite transponders configured into a shaped beam or “foot print”.  The TV programming is uplinked to the geosynchronous satellite via  a central earth station facility (broadcast center).

    At the individual receive-only “downlink” sites, the customer uses a dish antenna, low noise block converter linked to a satellite receiver that converts the signals for play on a Subscribers TV set. It is all “one way” program distribution.  

    The satellite receiver can be connected to the internet to a TV program center where access to a specific channel may be activated and the customers receiver “programmed” via the Internet link to receive that channel.

     

    .....40 years in satellite communications network engineering and business development mostly to support two way telephony and data communication.

  4. The wife and I watched UFOs from Upper Chula Vista move from the horizon over the Sierra east toward Guad, down into the mountain side.They were three colors flashing and the lights would jump a kilometer or more and strobe. That was probably five years ago. These were not drones or balloons.

    please post directional coordinates and time if you see them again.
