Hey, don't forget the Atlantic coast. [pout...pout]

 

I may not know what I'm doing, but I hear Cubans too, ya'know.

 

If the FL DX community doesn't ostracize this newbie for uninformed reporting, one of these days I may even know what and where all those Cubans I hear are. 

 

East coast listeners often get a different mix of Cuban salsa, making it a challenge at times to correlate what the Gulfies are hearing versus us ocean goers.  Because of the intervening south FL landmass, eastern Cuba is tough to hear in the Gulf region.  West coast Cuba -- Habana and environs -- is a challenge at times for DXing from the Atlantic side.

 

Took me forever to finally hear airborne Radio Marti on 530, circling over western Cuba, while those on the Gulf were discussing how much louder it was this time versus last.

 

The point is, Florida is a great DX spot, despite subtropical summer noise.  Now if I could just quiet those Bahamian pests...

You don't have to go to Key West for that.  Most of the Florida gulf coast

has Cubans all day, up and down the band.  You'll know you've been here too

long when the Cubans get to be the pests.

Steve,

 

Thanks. I have always wanted to DX from Key West. I guess there it is

total Cuban on most frequencies.
