Glenn and crew,
In retrospect, this 1181 thing was surreal.
First of all, I heard bits and pieces of Radio Martí in there for sure! I
DAMNED well know
what Martí sounds like since I spent nearly twenty years at VOA (now IBB)
listening to
Martí and VOA; and I sure was hearing Martí mixed in there on 1180.
If there were aerospacial broadcasts by US government of Martí on 1180,
then that would
explain my reception of Martí.
Otherwise, if Martí were absolutely alone on the channel, I'd expect their
signal to be
very weak. Look at the 1180 pattern. Martí puts practically zero, zip, nada
in this
direction.
If I had my druthers, I'd say this time the Cuban government was the one
putting the
1181 thing out. To say that some National Guard element was up there flying
around
broadcasting Martí on 1181 goes against what has been observed. Assuming
the 1181-kHz
transmission was intentional, it seemed to be unmodulated at all times.
