Re: [IRCA] Christmas Eve gift on 1100

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

George, thanks for the suggestion.  

I have some fairly good audio recorded but not at the TOH, so there may
or may not be any identifying info.  There seems to be no break at
the TOH in the music, otherwise I would have grabbed that as the best
bet.  

Only problem now is, I don't speak any Spanish, but maybe with your clue
I can hear something that connects.  The recording is large but if
anyone wants to hear it, I can cut it down and convert to MP3 so it's
manageable.  

The signal continues to come in here at times quite strong, beginning
around sunset and for the next two or three hours.  Does sunset skip
work north and south as well as east and west?

Again, thanks,
Curt

Spanish on 1100 may be HJAT Caracol Colombia, Barranquilla. Heard them probably back in '90s when on 1100.3 & separable from WTAM. George S., MN

For the first time since 3/11/05 -- about when Radio Cadena Habana was last

reported here in S.FL -- a Wobbler was heard on 1100 at 2230 EST,

12/24/05. The Wobbler was very weak but heard several times. Back in

March, Wobblers on 1100 were quite frequent and often very strong, maybe a

precursor to the demise of 1100 RCH.

Not as certain was what I thought to be the Radio Reloj "RR". There is no

R.Reloj previously reported on 1100 that I know of, so this may be a new

one off in the boonies of Cuba, or I may have mistaken something sounding

like the code ID. WRTH '05 -- waiting on the '06 -- lists a 1kW in

Holguin, it has not been heard before, but still a possible Wobbler

candidate. Could be the usual format was temporarily supplanted by RR.

WTAM Cleveland, OH, was on the channel with the Hawaii Bowl on Westwood

One, at times quite listenable.

Also heard fading (unfading?) often on top, was an SS of unknown origin;

nothing domestic or Cuban listed that I could find, assume it is an

XE. Any ideas?

A pleasant evening without the usual local QRM suffered since hurricane

Wilma, or summertime background noise.

Merry Christmas,

Curt
