Back in 1969 while in the US Navy as a Radioman, I visited Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. I had the privelage to visit that Armed Forces Radio station on the base and was given a guided tour. And yes, I did log them but it was within about 50 miles or so of the base. If I recall correctly they were on a graveyard channel, perhaps 1340Kcs! What frequency are they on now?

I took my Degen 1103 and DXed from the balcony of our room, mostly during the day. We sailed around the north of Cuba to Cozumel and back south of Cuba to the other places. Of course Cuban stations dominated. North of Cuba the best signal was WFFG-1300 Marathon but WINZ-940 was strong and WTMY-1280, Sarasota was quite good as was WKWF-1600. In Cozumel XERB-810 was local and XECAO, Cancun-740 super all the way to the Caymans. On 1180 were two Cuibans and Radio Marti. But my biggest thrill was logging AFRTV Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, just 25 watts, between Jamaica and southeast Cuba. Has anyone ever logged them ? Also had strong signals from ZNS-1 and 2 and many Miami area stations at this point. Failed to hear any of the Haiti stations but I think maybe 4VEH-840 under Cubans.
