Wolfgang Bueschel: Cuba observations

CUBA RHC Bauta in English checked today Sunday Jan 30 at 07.26 UT,

6060even kHz exact fq, and much clean audio, no buzz at all today to state, S=9 noted in eastern states like NY, NJ, MA, also \\ at

9699.996 kHz channel in 31 meterband, also from Bauta site (ex6145/6165 kHz in B20 season), much clean audio too at 07.28 UT.)

But on western US tate parts CA / WA, or Alberta-CAN, Masset BC-CAN the Cuban and Florida signals much poor and tiny this Sunday, only S=3 to S=6.

The antenna in Masset BC province pointed to East Asia ? The Japanese Nikkei R1 Nagara signal on 6055 kHz arrived with S=9+15dB instead, path over Alaska and the Pacific at 07.40 UT.

When tuned-in and checked again both RHCuba Bauta signals at about 08.18 UT, heard RHC in Esperanto language in progress, the half hour program only on Sundays at 08.00 and 08.30 UT,

S=9+10dB again noted in Rochester, NY state, and \\ 9699.996 kHz - Bauta in 31 mb - same strength too - and surprise, surprise an extra treat for the North America and Europe listener of the Bauta transmissions: empty signal carriers appeared still on air on both 6060 and 9700v, between 08.30 UT - and 22 minutes longer, until switch-off exact at 08.52:30 UT much late - ended the sleep of the RadioCuba local Bauta technician.
