[HCDX] Was it Radio Reloj, Cuba?

["Karel Honzik" <karel.honzik@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

is there anybody who is familiar with Radio Reloj from Cuba (who can listen
to it and who knows its identification at the full hour)?

The reason why I am asking is that a station what I believe was Radio Reloj,
Cuba, was catched here in the Czech Republic, in the middle of Europe, on FM
frequency of 89.5 MHz (June 8, 1906 UTC).

I have a short tape recording (MP3 file is 15 seconds long, 30 kB) with ID
and time announcement 5:00 am ("Radio Reloj, 5 de la manana", Morse ID
"RR"). A longer recording not available, but as the owner of the recording
says there was only music before and after the ID - since he had the ID on
his tape he went on searching for other rare stations. He thought it was a
station from Spain but there is no such station listed in Spain and - as our
friends from Spain say - both speakers (man and woman) have a strong Central
American or Caribbean accent.

At that time a sporadic Es conditions were active with FM stations comming
from Turkey and Greece.
So maybe in that area there was a station with a program on Cuba (a report),
who knows?
A live relay is not likely as there is a time difference - 1906 UTC is not
5:00 am in Cuba.

So what I would like to know is whether Radio Reloj from Cuba indentifies
itself this way - including a Morse ID "RR". I want to be sure that it is
Radio Reloj from Cuba what I have on the tape.

The audio file on www.intervalsignals.com sounds a bit different, but maybe
it is an older recording...

Thanks - you can reply privately,

GOOD DX,
