HF conditions at my location are poor tonight, as they have been for at
least the last week. So, I decided to spend some time with the Quantum
Loop. On 790 khz, buried beneath a bunch of commercial stations, I'm
hearing a time signal. On the minute there's some morse...an 'R' and
something else that I haven't quite made out yet.

Anyone know what this is?

The morse is "RR".


This is probably Radio Rebelde in Cuba. It's sort of a news/talk
station, with the time signal every minute. They also say "Radio
Rebelde" every minute.

I hear it every night here in Florida. It's on a couple other
frequencies also.
