[HCDX] A new cuban on my logbook



Hello dear DX-ers !

The last night was a rather poor night for DX-ing Latin America, except from
Cuba wich really blow me away. Even 1 of my regulars was not there
(Venezuela-750), but the cubans have filled the low-band (525 - 1000 kHz). I
have even managed to log a new cuban on 630. It`s an out-let of Radio Progreso
network. It was CMOA from Isla Juventu. Radio Reloj was verry strong at times on
570 with no sign of WMCA at all this evening. Radio Progreso put-in excellent
signals on 640 and 890, and the new log for me, 630 was usually fair and at
times mixing with CHLT/WPRO and WSKN (from San Juan, Puerto Rico - not a new
catch for me, yesturday afternoon, while listening throught one of my tapes, I
have discover a Super Cadena jingle audible in the back-ground of the
WPRO/CHLT/CFCO mess, wich was clearly audible. It was back in December 2000, 1
day before December 31. I put up also this Puerto Rican into my logbook),
however, except from this puerto rican and the cubans, the other stations were
poor. No sign YVKS on 750 wich was dominated by WSB, HJAJ-RCN Barranquilla was
poor, barely audible. The Radiodifusora Nacíonal de Colombia station in Urbia on
610 was only audible for 5 minutes and then fade-out to nothing (there was no
sign of WIP, conditions may have been quite auroral). However, even with the
poor conditions to the rest of Latin America, this good opening to Cuba was with
no exageration the best since I begun involved with medium-wave back in October
2000. I have logged my first Latin American (CMOA on 630 with R, Progreso) since
the mid-February when I got YVQO Union Radio from Puerto La Cruz on 640 kHz. I
have put it on m logbook and you will see it this sunday when I sent to you my
logbook. I sent it once a week.

I have to know if some of you have ides about what I can do to sent my new log
of CMOA to AM-DX News Flash. Did I have to be a member of the National Radio
Club to contribue on their mail list. I plan that each time I catch a new
Latin-American, I contribue to their list by adding it. Did they have an e-mail
address.

Also does anyone know if the cubans are good verifiers of reception report ? I
would like to send a reception report to the CMOA station of Radio Progreso and
maybe to other stations. Did one of this stations have a web-address. R. Reloj
use to have one, but I don`t know if it`s still running. I did`n`t have visited
it, since a long time.

The condition to Cuba will continue to be good today also ? I will like to put
up even more cubans into my logbook.

That`s it for now !
73 and good DX !
Bogdan
