[tz] America/Santa_Isabel

[Arthur David Olson]

Radio station XEQIN of San Quintín has a web presence:
    http://ecos.cdi.gob.mx/xeqin.html
It's a daytimer, the web page says it broadcasts from 5:00 a.m. until 7:00
p.m. Streaming wasn't working for me today here in Maryland until shortly
after 9:00 a.m.; I'm now (~9:15) hearing a Spanish-language announcer who
has mentioned the date, meaning it should indeed be a live stream. I
haven't yet heard a time announcement, and I'm surprised the streaming
started at 9:00 my time rather than 8:00 my time.

We'll see what happens in the coming days and weeks--in particular between
October 25 and November 1. (If nothing else, we may produce a spike in
XEQIN's ratings.)
