I can remember WQBA in Miami doing their own version of "Radio Reloj" in morning drive in 1980 (how long before I don't know). I've heard Cuba's Reloj fairly recently on 590.
"Cubanísima Radio Reloj" started in the mid-60's and lasted to the early 90's when the station took on a more conversational magazine format in the mornings. |

I remember in the early 80's, Cuba relayed Radio Moscow on 600 kHz....it was kind of interesting to hear Radio Moscow and their "cold" sound on AM (albeit under a bunch of local US stations).
Also, anyone here remember Radio Free Dixie? (Was that a Cuban effort of some kind?)
I used to listen to ("The World Service of Radio Moscow) on 600am,They could really lay the propaganda on thick(Not as thick as Cuba,Czechoslovakia or Albania). I liked to listen to TransWorld Radio in Bonaire,Netherlands Antilles on 800am also. The voice of Dixie was a Cuban Propaganda vehicle. |

I wish I'd have gotten to hear it just once. I tried during a vacation to Panama City Beach, Florida back in 2004 and 800 was just mush ... no TWR or XEROK. |

They are only running 100 kw now... the band is too full all over Latin America for the station to be heard most places. |

Sounds like a graveyard here in Houston most nights too. Occasionally XEROK will come out of the slop, but it's never very loud. I guess I can't be too surprised; it's still about 800 miles away at 50K.

Yeah PJB was easy to hear in the midwest years ago, but not anymore.

Back in the 1970's XEROK was clear in Los Angeles everynight. When they would go off on rare Sunday nights PJB would blast in.
