This evening around 9pm ET, I compared the signals on 1180 and 1181 using Spectran, and the fading on 1181 was not in step with the signal on 1180. 1180 was pretty much unfading at the time.
At 11:30 I heard two stations with audio fairly well but suspect they are both on 1180 since the carrier on 1181 is much weaker while the audio of the two I heard were similar. Also the het 1181 produces on 1180 could be heard fading in and out even as the audio stays steady, as before. It is clearly a single carrier on 1181, while at least two carriers can be seen on 1180, beating against each other producing sub-audible hets varying around 0-5 Hz. It must be two R.Rebelde's on 1180 because there is a clear echo affect of a half second or less in the audio, confused somewhat since the // 5025 R.Reb had a slight echo in the audio as well, but not nearly as prominent as on 1180 and I suspect just the nature of the broadcast material itself.
