[HCDX] RJR Montego Bay 550 kHz.

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Getting a very fine signal out of the Caribbean tonight.  At 0110 UT, 
RJR Montego Bay was quite listenable with no fading over nearly 20 
minutes on 550 kHz., MW.  It was a phone-in sports show discussing 
Jamaica's World Cup team.  There also was an ad at around 0125 UT for 
touring The Grenadines.  The signal slowly weakened over about a three 
minute period until it was unheard at 0127 UT, but it began to rise 
again to a very nice level by 0129 UT.

Curiously, I could not hear this one at all on my Drake R8A tethered to 
an Alpha-Delta DX sloper.  However, I was hearing it as described on my 
rather ancient Grundig Satellit 210 (TR6001) with the Select-a-tenna.

Go figure.
