Count me in. I'm a teacher, so the educational aspect would be covered. Plus I teach about Cuba in my 6th grade world geography class. My in laws saw Frankie Baby down there before things went south. They even stayed in the same hotel. :-) Bert KI4SYC Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 9, 2016,

Nice and intriguing idea, Scott. I grew up in Miami, pre-Castro, but never got to Cuba (or even the Bahamas, for that matter). It would be interesting to find out if the U.S. approach to Cuban normalization procedures calls for power reduction on some of the frequencies which are currently
