Re Re: Di-Rectional.....

I don't have much knowledge of it. I think some is simply broadcasting
Cuban programming with fairly powerful signals on the same frequencies
as US stations. And of course no Cuban AMs use directional antennas,
which, if they existed in Cuba, might protect stations in other
countries. But I think that, at various times, Cuba has run various
sorts of noise-makers on frequencies occupied by US AMs whose program
content the Cubans found particularly annoying. One type that the
Russians apparently used in Europe sounded kind of like a rusty wagon
wheel. (Disclaimer: Since I've never actually heard a rusty wagon
wheel, I'd have to say that the recording I heard sounded like what I
imagine a rusty wagon wheel sounds like.)
