** CUBA. 11840, Dec 10 at 0546, RHC is again on this frequency late and VG S9+20 as midnite MUF is holding up --- but is in Spanish unlike English last night. // 11700 S9+20 also Spanish with music, but distorted. Third 25mb transmitter also still going, 12000 in English, relatively weak S8 so maybe really a 2 x 6000 harmonic, benefiting from above normal propagation. 0632 recheck: 11840 & 11700 off; 12000 still on.
Also still on after 0546: 9535 Spanish S8; 6060 Spanish S9+20; 6100 carrier? 6165 English with music; 5040 Spanish. At 0659, 6165 & 6100 & 6060 are all off, with 6000 remaining to restart an English hour. 24 hours ago, 6060, 6165 and 5040 were all in English before 0600 Something`s always wrong at Radio Habana Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1960, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Dec 11 at 0029, RHC is JBM with hum during music, presumably the English hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (And no longer on 9720 during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13635 & 13765 approx., Dec 10 at 1456, RHC 13700-AM transmitter is blooming with FM spurs including the F# tone, at S9+10, and progressively weaker ones further out at ~65 kHz multiples: 13571, 13505, 13441; 13830, 13896, 13960. You never know whether these will happen or not. A few days OK, since last batch heard Dec 6. Something`s always wrong at RHC --- if not the FM spurs, another thing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1960, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
