Instrumental only but not Firedrake. RadioCuba didn`t used to relay CRI at this hour. This is so strong, S9+20/30, that it`s got to be Cuba rather than China itself, also scheduled on 11760 this hour in ``Portuguese`` to Europe via Xi`an. At 2257, 11760 goes to dead air but still on air past 2301; while: 13650, Aug 23 at 2259, RadioCuba on with open carrier, 2300 CRI theme, Chinese & Portuguese IDs, for the traditional hour of fill music. 13780, Aug 23 at 2233, RHC in Spanish, S9+20 with good modulation, running about 2 seconds behind // 15230 which is S9+10/20 and suptorted. 15230 is off by 2259: maybe moved to 13650 but not with same defect. Anyhow it appears RHC is now capable of running 3 transmitters at once!
