Topband: BCI Update

[Charles Hutton]

Tom:

WBIT is listed as off the air in broadcast industry lists. WWNN is listed as
talk, and WLVU is "money radio".

I am sure you have a Cuban station. There is talk at the beginning about the
5th World Cup of Boxing in 1987 and mention of several Cuban boxers that
participated including Felix Sauvon and Julio Gonzalez plus their weight
classifications.

This should be Radio Ciudad Bandera in Cardenas according to the World Radio
Television Handbook 2002. I heard no ID to verify that.

Cuban transmitters are well known in medium wave DX circles for their
ability to drift, hum, FM, and emit spurs and you seem to be the most recent
victim.

The shortwave station trashing 1805kHz with a mix between two transmitters
installed a trap and now is perfectly clean. 1805 (so far) is totally clear!

I now have a clear audio match on the Spanish language QRM drifting between
1810 and 1840kHz. It matches the audio of a station on 1470kHz at about 165
degrees or so true from my QTH near Forsyth GA (north of Macon). I can
normally get azimuth direction within 10 degrees, although I haven't
calibrated lately.

Possible stations are:
WBIT Adel, GA
WWNN Pompano Beach, FL
WLVU Dunedin, FL

I have a ~3meg sound file of this trash at:

If anyone can understand Spanish there might be something there to indicate
city or state.
