R. Progreso 640, Guanabacoa, Habana had for months been deteriorating from an analog station filling this home with studio quality audio to a pneumonic wheezebag one step removed from death rattles.
Last week, reported by T.Kreuger, it roared back. Although not back fully, it smacks oldies IBOC Royal Palm Beach, FL on its big fat digital corkscrew tail. Why couldn't one hear it in Vacaville? Always enjoyed hearing lower-powered 660 Progreso, Matanzas nights on I-10, blasting thru west Texas at invigorating speeds.
Another to try, 670 Rebelde, Arroyo Arenas, Habana. Until last week you could null Rebelde and hear WWFE Miami clearly. Last Tuesday, continuing today, can't null Rebelde or hear WWFE.
Why? Possible new mitter operating in sync, LOBS to Santa Clara. You can appreciate Don Fido's wisdom. Santa Clara due south of Miami. In sync w/Habana, WWFE listeners hear jamming, albeit a pleasant variety, given Rebelde's lack of 'noise blooms', infinite playlist and live announcers.
Might well improve coverage to NE US regular listeners.
Re: 640 Progreso - at highest power and fidelity it emits spurs on 627.5 and 652.5 KHz. Not back as of yet. One can always hope.
