re Cuban Number services ...Guess the Bejucal - former big USSR shortwave relay site bunker towards
North America continent of 1965 built-up and 70ties -
the Cuban numbers station installations have refurbished some 10 years ago,

CUBA    HM01 on 11530 kHz is a regular Numbers service.They have used data
(RDFT) and other burst-like signals for a while. Always a very high level
RF transmission on the East Coast in the US. A total of 16 (!) different
frequencies are listed, according to Priyom.org ...On Sun, Jan 3, 2021 at 12:35 PM Stephen Luce <stvlucetx@sbcglobal.net>

I also came across the Spanish numbers and data hiss/tones on 11530 around
1715 UT January 1.  Very strong signal into Houston, even better than RHC
on 11760.  Transmission was gone a short time later.  Guess the numbers
stations have adopted higher tech.
