This is good news for AM band Dxers !!!

Just came back from the start-up of the new 10 kW output Radio Progreso
relay at the Isle of Youth, south of Cuba.

The frequency is 730 kHz , and the transmitter is rather close to the
Caribbean sea, so the 100 meter high TUNIPOLE antenna with 120 radials
should be well heard via sky wave during the evenings.

The transmitter is pulse width modulated technology and capable of 125
percent positive peak modulation...

Send your QSL requests if you are able to pick up the new Radio Progreso
relay to :


I will relay them to Progreso's deputy chief engineer , as we both work in
the same
building.

Other Radio Progreso's relays are 900 kiloHertz now in San German with
25 kW PWM transmitter 660 kiloHertz in Santa Clara with 10 kW PWM
transmitter and 690
Jovellanos with 12.5 kW PWM also.

73 and good winter AM broadcast band DX season to all
