Re: [IRCA] IBB Delano and Greenville

["Dan Ferguson" <shortwave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you.  The last sentence happens to be correct.

As the guy who used to schedule all Radio Marti shortwave transmissions, 
before I decided I needed to spend more time on the beach and in the shag 
joints of North Myrtle, maybe I can 'splain sumpin...  HF ground wave 
doesn't go very far, and skywave has a skip zone.  Thus Greenville and 
Delano (and formerly Bethany - sigh!  that was a good site for Cuba!!) are 
used for HF to Cuba.  That's why you won't see Marti leasing HF out of 
Florida, or even Goose Creek, SC. Too close!  I stand by my "Fedral 
Thinking".  Some of us who worked for the Feds gave a %^$%^$^%$!  Many still 
do!
