770 Cuba Update:
Have been hearing Rebelde fading in and out and mixing with various
stations,
including another possible Cuban (presumed to be Artemisa but no
definitive ID
pending a review of one section of recording that might have contained
something).
So I am convinced Rebelde is still on. Usually it's the top dog from
the south,
when WABC can be forced into submission. I'd say RCN Colombia and the
two Cubans
are now about equal, and I heard Mexico a few nights ago with an anthem
and
possible sign-off at 2012-2015.
The only other Cuban of note tonight is getting a definitive bit of
Rebelde on
1140. Until now the only Cuban I've had on 1140 has been Surco. I have
three
known transmitters to choose from on 1140, so it goes in my log as
Synchro.
Conditions decidedly south tonight after logging KKOB NM on 770 before
its local
sunset.

I think we have a new station or a change on 770 in Cuba.
On Jan 7 the BCB Logger carried the following report from Mark, a DXer
in
Indiana:
Jan07 23:08 770 Cuba presumed. Blasting in like a local. ID something
like
âRadio Arbenitaâ; no âRebeldeâ hrd. but âde la revolucionâ hrd several
times. --
Mark in IN (74.118.118.170)
For the last few days, with 780 WBBM's IBOC off, I've been putting time
in on
770 to the west and southwest. Aside from logging CHQR Calgary as new,
and
hearing a Mexican anthem one evening at 2012-2015 EST, I am hearing a
station
that sounds vaguely Cuban. Interestingly, I have not heard anything
//Rebelde
670/710/5025 (my three Rebelde beacons). But I nhad a Cuban anthem last
night
leading up to 0000 EST.
So there is a Cuban on 770, and it doesn't appear to be Rebelde. MWLIST
lists
just one station in Cuba on 770, and that's Rebelde in Victoria de las
Tunas.
Rebelde has been the easiest latin to get here until now. But it has
been all
but absent the last few days, and whatever has replaced it doesn't seem
quite as
strong, though we're talking marginal difference here and it could be
conditions.
I've put assorted clips on WTFDA Forums. You have to scroll down to one
of my
follow-up posts to three clips of the Mexican from when I heard that
anthem, and
then further down there's three clips of the Cuban I heard prior to
midnight (my
local time) last night.
