Just happened across this... the 9955khz broadcast from Florida in English is being jammed by Cuba???  I believe this is from the Okeechobee USA station. Standard Christian material NOT propaganda...  time 0215 UTC

ive actually run into quite a few AM broadcasts above 7.2Mhz being jammed/interfered with DSB or a similar modulation of what sounded like "white noise" and didnt really think anything of it, because between 7.2Mhz and 7.6Mhz, has utility and SWBC mixed together.
i thought jamming on SW was over and done with after the "cold war" ended.

Cuba routinely jams WRMI, regardless of programming.  Strangely, I've never heard Brother Scary Sandpaper jammed...

It seems as though Cuba conveniently turns on their jammers every time I try to enjoy Radio Prague's English Service on 9955 kHz.

Perhaps they should go the route which Radio Slovakia International, Radio France International and Radio Ukraine International went, and purchase time of some of WRMI's other frequencies.

I'm sure it'd increase their listener numbers as well.
Florida, always listening via my Tecsun PL-660 receiver.
