| Curt and Russ, Thanks for the tips on this.  I'm actually 
enjoying the chase here and I just hope the station and conditions don't give up 
before I do. My reception has been like patchwork- sometimes not so bad, it's 
just that nothing of revelance is said at the time.  Of course, I also 
understand that the announcers (both male and/or female) and the nature of any 
programming can throw off anyone who only has a few pieces of the puzzle. ie. 
perhaps they we're talking about R. Progreso or Cuba was in the news. 
etc.  I haven't heard any echo or delay.  In the last two morning's 
(about 10 hrs. on 1180)  I've heard Cuba mentioned twice, Guantanamo, 
Habana, R. Progreso, Cadena-something, Nacional-something, a rooster 
crow (hi) and at 1055 UTC yesterday I heard maybe 7-8 seconds of a trumpet(s) 
and what sounded like a very short anthem. I don't know if the time mentioned is 
revelant. Maybe I'm hearing a mix of stations.  Anyways, I must listen 
more.  The great thing about DX- All it takes is a few transmitted words to 
deny or confirm all my great hypothese's about the station I think I'm hearing.
