KRXA (540 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish language Catholic radio format. Licensed to Carmel Valley, California, the station serves the Salinas - Monterey - Santa Cruz areas of Central California. It is owned by El Sembrador Ministries and broadcasts its Spanish-language ESNE Radio Catholic radio network.[2]
By day, KRXA is powered at 10,000 watts. But because 540 AM is a Mexican and Canadian clear channel frequency, KRXA must greatly reduce power at sunset to 500 watts to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Old Stage Road in Salinas.[3] It uses a three-tower array directional antenna.
History
[edit]On July 19, 1987, the station signed on the air.[4] Its original call sign before it went on the air, as a construction permit, was KJCC.
In 1995, after being purchased by Cypress Communications, KIEZ switched from a Spanish language KKLF simulcast to its own adult standards format.[5] From 2005 to 2012, the station had a progressive talk format.
When KRXA was sold to El Sembrador, the progressive talk moved to RadioMonterey.com.[6][7] With the sale, KRXA switched to a Spanish language Catholic radio format.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
