seem to be getting a second ZMA controller on that feed during the overnight.
Yep
Well...I noticed that in the overnight hours the Bimini sector 126.325 and the Hobee sector 119.825 hand off a good amount of transitioning aircraft to each other and neither sector is real busy, so, if I remember, around 9:00 or 10:00 pm local time i'll add it to the feed. Usually around 8:00 am local time I remove it. Most of the aircraft that check in on 119.825 on the northern side of the sector, or are handed off to Jacksonville Center are out of range of my antenna so we wont hear them. I do hear them hand off aircraft to New York ARINC over Sumrs and Snagy and assign HF frequencies. Lately it's been 3455 and 5550.
119.825, 134.350, 123.675, 125.325, 126.950 and 133.400 and possibly others are all combined over night.
126.325, 135.600, 125.700, 134.200, 133.850 are combined over night.
That's pretty good coverage of the Florida east coast, at least overnight.
Arrivals from the north that are landing in FLL, MIA, or PBI get handed off to 132.250 when they get lower and are closer to there destination.
NOTE: I've been listing to 130.700 this morning and the signal is strong and cutting out. It's them causing the issue. True, when you turn off the squelch you wont hear it cut out.
I see the signal strength fluctuating.

2nd NOTE: I just heard a aircraft talking to New York on 130.700, he was over Bimini (about 50 miles east of Miami) at around 12:25 pm local time today Dec 16, 2016 and he asked New York to repeat what they said because they were breaking up!!
