** CUBA. 7350, May 5 at 1347, RHC still here but poor, ex-7340 where
there is algo, presumably NK clandestine from Tajikistan; but QSY may
be more to avoid own jamming and Radio Martí, very strong on 7335.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)** CUBA. 11760, May 5 at 1354, RHC is S9+10 but suptorted, unusual for
this legacy frequency; wiggle that patchcord!13740, May 5 at 1358, S9 and suptorted even worse. Somethings always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)** CUBA. 13490, 13559, 13630; 13771, 13841, 13910, 13981 approx., May
5 at 1355, spurblob panoply at 70-71 kHz intervals out of RHC
13700-AM. Best audible in FM mode, always with F# tone above Cmiddle.
13559 and 13770 are VG S9, the outermost ones JBA. But at 1400 all go
silent as modulation stops; after breakfast of pineapple, next check
at 1432 they are all back. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)** CUBA. 11880, May 5 at 1518, CRI English relay is back on, after at
least two days` missing. Something`s not wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
