Here in South Florida, the damn Cuban stations, both in Cuba and in
Miami, swamp almost every frequency. Last night, I was able for about
30 minutes to null the Cubans to get WBZ on 1030. Also, WPHT, 1210,
which is also a station in Cuba booming out their crap. Strangely, the
higher frequencies can be pulled in pretty well, 1520, Buffalo, NY, for
example.
Still using the HE-10 and loving it!


FYI: WPHT is a 50,000 Watt Powerhouse station in Philadelphia, PA.
Don't know if it still is, but was clear channel years ago.

Yes, I knew that. Still, being so close to Cuba and extreme South
Florida, WPHT is flooded out. Living in this area makes MWDX hard. That
is why if I really want to listen to the station, I use my Wi-Fi based
radio.
