CUBA   that offset minus 800 Hertz TX unit originate from former USSR
relay
of Radio Moscow at Bejucal site of RadioCuba.
It's in turn use from time to time.At other time of the day used as
1200-1500  7340 BEJ 50kW 110 Ant  Spanish  Antilles ex 9640 kHz
or
1200-1500 13740 BEJ 50kW 160 SoAm Spanish  Buenos Aires ex13780 kHz B-18
Maybe an alternative TX unit of few remained 50 kW type TXs at this site.
See below also Ivo's monitoring of clandestine spy number services.
Technical data
15370 kHz 135degrees azimuth. #A-27-antenna in nomenclatura figures,
HRS 4/4/1 type, aimed at Rio de Janeiro Brazil, Buenos Aires Argentina in
South America, I guess 23.30-01.30 UT is right their scheduled time.

** CUBA. 15369.22, Feb 16 at 2248, RHC Spanish distorted at S9+20.
Altho not checked yesterday, this should make the sixth day in a row
of such off frequenciness. Something's always wrong at RHC.

** CUBA. 9329.237, Feb 17 at 0715, Spy number station bigsig is way
off-frequency (and WBCQ apparently finished testing at 0500). Note how
closely its offset matches that of 15370-minus RHC as heard now for
seven days in the afternoons; same transmitter? Something's always
wrong at RadioCuba.

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, also caught the offset: "NUMBERS STATION Cuban
Spy HM01 on very odd freqs 9329.2 & 9064.2 kHz, February 17:
0700-0720 9329.2 BEJ 050 kW / Eu/Am Spanish Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri, not 9330
0730-0750 9329.2 BEJ 050 kW / Eu/Am Spanish Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri, not 9330
0800-0850 9064.2 BEJ 050 kW / Eu/Am Spanish Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri, not 9065
NO SIGNAL 9330.0 BCQ 250 kW / 270 deg WBCQ-6,test was till 05 UT
from 0900 on nominal 9240, but from 1000 on very odd 9154.2" Does
this also infect many other HM01 broadcasts?

** CUBA. 15369.234, Feb 17 at 2134, RHC distorted Brazuguese still way
off-frequency for seventh day in a row; usual // 11880 is missing, and
15140 is already off. Something's always wrong at RHC.

off-frequency, but bad propagation; MUF must be about 13 MHz, as 13740
