Nobody listens to AM radio anymore. What a waste of money. Does this
mean KFI can go to 100 kW?


This station is a special situation. It's most likely beamed toward Cuba,
and meant only for their listening. You can bet a LOT of folks in Cuba
still listen to AM radio, since it's reasonably easy to get Florida
stations (when the jammers aren't going... that is.. ergo the need to have
a 100KW signal).


Also, Cuba has a really handy thing on medium wave AM radio -- Radio Reloj
(Clock Radio), with time signals every second and the time announced every
minute. (And newscasts which you can ignore, underneath the time ticks.)

One of the odder items in my QSL album is a Radio Reloj bumper sticker.
Yes, Cuba has bumper stickers, or did in the late 1980s when I was
collecting QSLs actively.
