DX Catches on the Low End of the AM B'cast Band

[spongella]

Using just a Panasonic RF-2200 receiver on my nightstand I have been hearing Radio Reloj (Radio Clock) from Havana, Cuba quite often at night, on 570 kHz, just under WMCA's (New York) religious programs audio. It ID's every minute as "RR" in CW. Slightly below Radio Reloj but heard less often are NAVTEX xmissions on 518 kHz. A few kHz down on 516 is the Petawawa, Canada radiobeacon on 516 kHz. The RF-2200 has a good size rotatable ferrite antenna which helps and is probably my best portable AM/FM shortwave ever owned.
