Here's a real treat; it's Radio Taino from Cuba on 1180khz. On the cassette I wrote "Havana Cuba news and music 1988". I was 11 years old when I recorded this. I remember the frequency was 1180. Heard Spanish on that freq for years. . Anyway I did some research on the net and discovered that 1180 was indeed Radio Taino from 1988 to 1989(?). This was when Castro really pumped up the power on some of his Cuban AM's. During this time there were several AM stations in S. Florida that could not be heard a mile from their transmitters because of the huge signals from the Cubans! The radio used was an Emerson portable AM/FM cassette recorder. Enjoy these clips. . .
