Thanks Curt. I think that I often heard Reloj on 950, years ago when local WXLW was off @ night but I could definitely hear the ticks several times in the past few weeks under WXLW and (presumably) Detroit. Quite an achievement on a crowded channel with a local (albeit with reduced power), leading the way. I heard no talk but just like KAZ mentioned, the ticks and code cut through the noise. I have gotten Reloj on 570 every night, even when the cx do not seem to be Au at all. Some nights are better than others but I have caught them every time I scanned 570.

The reportedly less powerful stations -- from the WRTH -- with presumed locations of Havana in the west, 230nm from me crossing the Florida peninsula, and the even lower powered Mayari Arriba in far eastern Cuba, 430nm partially over Cuban terrain, make the signals much weaker than 570kHz RR Santa Clara which is due south of me 235nm across an almost all water path. These two can be detected during the day by ticks, tones, and code, but announcements are intelligible usually only at night -- Mayari Arriba heard only barely. Right now at 8:15 pm ET, Mar 13 2008, I have the two RR's off from each other by about a second and adding to the fun, a noticeable Wobbler is also present. Curt ------- W.
