And if WADO wants to play more music than news/talk, that's fine by
me. The skywaves are strong enough this season that almost every
night, I can get "Radio Reloj" from Cuba quite clearly on 570 kHz,
coming in right on top of local WMCA.


And why would "filtered" news form Cuba, listenable only at night under
occasional atmospheric conditions, be better than regulr hourly casts on a
local NY station?


Because it's a good indication of when skywave propagation from the
Caribbean is strong. When Radio Reloj kocks out your local station, you
know it's time to tune in the Cuban station on 530 for live salsa
broadcasts, or tune to 4VEH for musique Zouk.
