Re: [IRCA] IRCA Digest, Vol 47, Issue 44
David,
R.Reloj has two appearances on 950kHz, both heard regularly here.
The reportedly less powerful stations -- from the WRTH -- with
presumed locations of Havana in the west, 230nm from me crossing the
Florida peninsula, and the even lower powered Mayari Arriba in far
eastern Cuba, 430nm partially over Cuban terrain, make the signals
much weaker than 570kHz RR Santa Clara which is due south of me 235nm
across an almost all water path. These two can be detected during
the day by ticks, tones, and code, but announcements are intelligible
usually only at night -- Mayari Arriba heard only barely.
Right now at 8:15 pm ET, Mar 13 2008, I have the two RR's off from
each other by about a second and adding to the fun, a noticeable
Wobbler is also present.

Hi Curt - Reloj usually pounds in here, in Indianapolis, IN on 570
overnights, even on the $7 shower radio. I've also heard the ticks on
950, too. How does the 950 Reloj outlet sound down there? I have heard
them under or equal to my local WXLW.

570 R.Reloj, presumed Santa Clara, is always on top of the channel
here, with its only real competition being the IBOC hiss from 560
WQAM Miami. The IBOC has been off since 3/4/08, replaced by
splatter, but came back on today, a rather common pattern.
