CUBA or MEXICO?

Sometimes at night I hear cheesey Spanish Programming interfering with WSCR, WABC, and WOR. Also once in a while it interferes with WLS too. Is it CUBA or MEXICO?

670 is definitely Cuba. I believe 710 and 770 are as well, but I've never heard them.

That's the most likely for 670 (Radio Rebelde, Holguin), and for 710, which is in Havana. But the 770 you're hearing may be RCN from Bogata, Colombia. Last I heard it was running 100,000 watts daytime and 25,000 at night. As for the power levels for the Cuban stations, it's anybody's guess...

710 consists of 4 or 5 transmitters around Cuba which block WAQI along 600 miles or so of northern coastline of Cuba. None runs more than 10 kw at present, it is believed.

There is a low powered 770 in Cuba, as well.

Colombians run the same power day and night; 770 is licensed at 30 kw.
 
sounds like a tin can? Definitely Cuba, Cuban radio stations have very tinny sound heavy on the midrange and nothing else....Mexican AM stations on the other hand have very go0d sound quality. I have heard Cuban AM stations at all the frequencies you mentioned and my spanish is more than go0d enough to understand the stations. RCN Colombia would be distinguishable for it's better sound quality.
