Raydel,

I heard from a friend off-list that the eastern US SCAN transmitters are 
located in Tipton, Missouri and Mt. Gilead, Ohio. I googled distances 
from Havana and both transmitters are 1200 miles away from you.  This is 
pretty far. But also I found that there are remote return sites located 
in Puerto Rico so maybe this is a functional distance to receive meteor 
bursts.

I do not know.

Good luck if you try in any case.

Thomas
