We present model lightcurves which have been created in order to explain the
orbital modulation observed in the radio emission of Cyg X-1. We invoke
variable absorption by the stellar wind as the black hole jet orbits around the
OB companion star and find that a very simple model is able to reproduce the
amplitudes and frequency dependence of the observed lightcurves.
