I just returned from a Caribbean cruise, where I made a point of
checking 800 during local evenings.
PJB was local quality near the southeast corner of Cuba at 0210 1/29,
giving contact info and RTM/Transmundial IDs. The carrier dropped for
1-2 seconds a few times as though they were having technical issues.
Further south, the signal was not nearly as strong near the coasts of
Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. Near Panama, 800 had a battle between
3 stations at least once when I checked.
PJB was local quality again near Grand Cayman and the SW corner of Cuba
on 2/3 and 2/4 respectively (with traces of another station in the
background). No carrier drops, so the earlier problem had apparently
been fixed. It sure sounded like 450 kw with a directional pattern,
being near their primary target.

Been checking AM 800 in early morning hours and so far
haven't heard a peep from them here in SE US, just a jumble of low power
radio station signals. Could be their three-pattern radio broadcast

has a null in my direction?
Using a Walkman SRF M37V.
Just had a visit by a couple who just came back from Bonaire who
helped with the upgrade. Also saw the live streaming of the dedication
service.

Has anone been able to pick it up in the USA?
Does it sound like the old TWR we heard in the 70's and 80's?
Thanks!
