GRIFTON, NC 5/12/07. After taking the time to determine the source of the 1-Hz daytime carrier beat against WDNZ -620 (Raleigh) [and not WDOX as cited in earlier reports], and finding, to my GREAT surprise it is CMDC, Radio Reloj; Villa Clara, Cuba (30 kW), I've spent the past several days determining that it is indeed sea & groundwave. I conjectured that it was arriving via seawave and being defracted westward upon striking NC's Outer Banks. Today, I did a little DFing to determine where the CMDC signal apparently was coming from. This I did by care- fully turning my SM-2 loop until I achieved complete extinction of the 1-Hz carrier beat against WDNZ. To put it briefly, I found the extinction point was almost identical to the azimuth of the null for WMFD- 630 Wilmington, North Carolina. So that means that the RR-570 signal is traversing land from its landfall point in s.e. North Carolina, so that means there's no exotic sea/land defraction going on here. It's coming straight through. Express. I can't hear any other CMs here that I can recognize during the daytime, but CMDC is unique with its format. Another NC long distance daytime reception observation is grinding in my bowels. Nothing to surprise anyone. Later.
