Yeah, I'm a lot closer to Cuba than either of you and for years was able to get a moderately acceptable  broadcast of RHC on 6 meg but its been  at least a year since I've gotten  a discernible signal from Bauta or Quivican on that frequency.  My best chances are 19 meters days and occasionally 41 meters early evenings but even that is erratic. Maybe RHC should rent out transmit time from Radio Amazonia but that would make them capitalists.
