My memories of that time period, are that the big jammer and spy station was
Radio Swan on 1160. This was said to be a CIA station on Swan Island with
studios in Miami, FL. Is it possible that it's the same people running Radio
Marti, but just under a different name?

Yes, a good HDTV set has a wonderful pix. You have many more lines of

Canadian stations can be just as pesky and Mexican stations, except
there are not as many and they don't overmod. But they can be equally as

I was going through my Chinese QSLs tonight. I have 36 from mainland
China, 14 from Taiwan, and 2 from Hong Kong. One thing I noticed from
mainland Chinese, how many of the stations do not exist on their old
frequencies from even the early 80s. I pay attention to Australian New

Last night and tonight, I am getting a very weak classic rock station coming
from the E or ESE on 1120. I have no clue who it may be. Strong interference
from KPNW to the N, and moderate interference from KZSJ (local very low night
power) to the E. Any ideas would be gladly appreciated.

I think that most consumers don't care about audio quality, but they do care
about video quality, perhaps because the latter is more noticeable. For
example, consumers love MP3 players and their ilk, even though they usually
don't provide the ultimate in fidelity, due to factors such as
I would guess Saudi Arabia as it is much more powerful than Morocco (2000 kw?).
The programming was similar to what I heard earlier last night on 1521 but I

the music.

Agree! I wonder if there are any Mexicans doing classic rock. There's nothing
that I know of in US or Canada. I even tought of spurs (considering I'm
listening on a Grundig S350), but there's no classic rock on AM in the Bay

Sure they will, but there are at least two reasons why the deadline won't

No carrier heard on 1548 kHz this morning. Lately 1557 has produced some weak
