Thanks Ray for allowing me to explain what this is all about. A 10 year old 
list, as the one you are mentioning, is of little use today even if it was 
accurate at the time. 

Take for instance the last station on the list, Radio Granma, on 1590.  I have 
no doubt that my friend Jean heard them on that frequency during his stay in 
Cuba. But does this help a DXer today?
I don´t think so. The WRTH 2007 says it is on 1370, probably following the info 
given in http://www.amfmdx.net/amdx/cubanradio.html , but they are now on 1000, 
and they are likely to have been on that frequency for quite some time. The 
station was positively identified in Sweden in January 2007. (Info was 
published in the British MWC list and elsewhere).

Then take a look at the column for the station location: "likely location" it 
says on top.  A "likely location" in 1996 is no more likely today than 10 years 
ago.

Hi Guys,

It would be nice if we could keep emo-politics out of the DX reports
wouldn't it?

I spent ten seconds with Yahoo and came up with the following site.

http://members.tripod.com/donmoore/central/cuba/cubalog.html

OK; so it's eleven years old and it may not have everything that some
people want but it does provide information gathered first-hand by a DX'er
and isn't that what we are all about?

How about a challenge?  How about caribbean-rim DX'ers putting together a
current comprehensive Cuban MW listing and putting it up on this forum?


All the best,
Ray
