Thanks Curt. I think that I often heard Reloj on 950, years ago when
local WXLW was off @ night but I could definitely hear the ticks several
times in the past few weeks under WXLW and (presumably) Detroit. Quite
an achievement on a crowded channel with a local (albeit with reduced
power), leading the way. I heard no talk but just like KAZ mentioned,
the ticks and code cut through the noise. I have gotten Reloj on 570
every night, even when the cx do not seem to be Au at all. Some nights
are better than others but I have caught them every time I scanned 570.

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.
