I logged, taped and QSL'd 2AP on 1420 in 1962 when I lived in Pampa, Texas, back when it operated on 1420 khz, before the Asia-Oceania 9 khz plan went into effect. But of course that was back when there were few 24-hour stations on Monday mornings, and there was a two-hour window when there were no North American stations on the air. Castro had eliminated private, commercial stations, and the 250-watt Cuban that had run AN-7 in the '60s was gone.

Don't ask me if I expect to log 2AP today, even on a split frequency. It's the noise floor, now, that'd hamper inland DX even if stations would revert to 6 a.m. to midnight schedules.
