This is a cool idea. I just got an "atomic" watch a couple weeks ago and was wondering about this sort of thing. Keep us updated!

There's a documentary on netflix about this. Pretty kool stuff.

So Cuba red-flagged the US? What about the trash talking on Radio Havana about other countries? I have definitely heard them saying some not-so-nice things about the US...
Maybe I read this wrong...

I like rap, though.

Coconut call = Net "guest" check-in, maybe?

Awesome.  What kind of antenna are you using for this?

I bought a "Magic Stick" antenna from Ebay for $15, about a year ago for camping trips.  It works suprisingly well, and supposedly has some extra circuitry inside besides the wound up wire on a stick.  Never opened it up to see inside, though.
