Folks,
I just got home from being out for about 12 hours today, shopping with the wife & DXing.
Our plan was to go to Flamingo FL, which we did, arriving about 3 pm....no E-skip, not even a trace...but....I could see havoc with Miami's ch 2 & 4....it was CCI that looked like Es, but ch 3 did not have it....
Ch 4's CCI featured a chess board on TV (read: this is Canal Educativo in Havana, which has had that chess show for the longest time). I said to my wife something like "Havana sure is strong! I'm tempted to go to the Keys....ya know what? Let's go."
So we went to my spot at Mile Marker 35. Havana TV stations (& much FM) very strong....I never saw Havana's ch 2 Tele Rebelde ever this strong. The above ch 4 strong, as was 6, and the weak UHFs there 15 (Canal Ed. 2) & 27 (Canal Habana) made an appearance.
Let's see what I remember in addition----
ch 5 Cubavision (NOT the normal Tele Rebelde from Santa Clara)
ch 8 Cubavision I think
ch 12 Canal Ed (I think this one serves parts of Havana that 4 cannot)
ch 22 Canal Ed 2
99.9 R Cadena Habana even on car radio fairly well....
Not much else that I have not shared already.....BTW although Havana was strong, the normal Matanzas TV stations were not.
If I only knew about this, I would not have gone to Flamingo in the first place.
