Nothing heard tonight as of 01:20 UTC. So maybe they mean it will start October 1 local time.
Wasn't this frequency once used by Cuba to relay Russian language programs for Russians working in Cuba? I have a vague recollection that the broadcasts became very poorly modulated and distorted before they finally went off the air. Maybe they've rehabilitated the old transmitter? --Art Delibert, North Bethesda, MD > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected]; > [email protected] > Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:08:44 +0200 > Subject: Re: [HCDX] CUB 4765 > > Maybe 5 antenna installations at Bauta and Quivican > > at Bauta site: > 3 x corner reflector 5 / 6 MHz ? > 22°56'55.51"N 82°32'56.07"W > 22°56'52.46"N 82°32'50.80"W > 22°57'00.29"N 82°32'35.87"W > > > at Quivican site: > NVIS Near Vertical Incidence Skywave antenna 5025/5040 kHz > 22°49'21.20"N 82°17'24.04"W > 22°49'24.81"N 82°17'47.37"W > > vy73 wb df5sx > > > > 4.
