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.) --ado On Fri, Oct 9, 2015 at 8:02 PM, Matt Johnson <mj1856@hotmail.com> wrote:
+1 for America/San_Quintin. Thanks Greg.
Also - and you guys are going to love this - I looked up the coordinates we have for America/Santa_Isabel in zone.tab, which are +3018-11452, and look what I found:

We've picked "Sierra Santa Isabel" - a mountain range. :)

Nowhere near the actual town of Santa Isabel either.

I see conflicting information online about when DST ends there, either November or October. Making contact with locals in that area is likely the best way to find out
Yes, if we can establish that San Quintín uses Mexico's DST rules, we can effectively replace America/Santa_Isabel with America/San_Quintin. Normally we'd prefer Lázaro Cárdenas as it has more people, but it's an ambiguous name whereas San Quintín is not.
