[IRCA] Christmas Eve gift on 1100

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the first time since 3/11/05 -- about when Radio Cadena Habana was last 
reported here in S.FL -- a Wobbler was heard on 1100 at 2230 EST, 
12/24/05.  The Wobbler was very weak but heard several times.  Back in 
March, Wobblers on 1100 were quite frequent and often very strong, maybe a 
precursor to the demise of 1100 RCH.

Not as certain was what I thought to be the Radio Reloj "RR".  There is no 
R.Reloj previously reported on 1100 that I know of, so this may be a new 
one off in the boonies of Cuba, or I may have mistaken something sounding 
like the code ID.  WRTH '05 -- waiting on the '06 -- lists a 1kW in 
Holguin, it has not been heard before, but still a possible Wobbler 
candidate.  Could be the usual format was temporarily supplanted by RR.

WTAM Cleveland, OH, was on the channel with the Hawaii Bowl on Westwood 
One, at times quite listenable.

Also heard fading (unfading?) often on top, was an SS of unknown origin; 
nothing domestic or Cuban listed that I could find, assume it is an 
XE.  Any ideas?

A pleasant evening without the usual local QRM suffered since hurricane 
Wilma, or summertime background noise.

Merry Christmas,
Curt
