CUBA. 6060, Feb 2 at 0558, RHC still in Spanish ID & IS, but at
0558.5, cut roughly to end of English hour and then 0600 re-opening
English hour. I was hearing no trace of it before 0300, but Ivo Ivanov
thinx it start at 0100; and there is another conflict at 04-05 with
Algeria via France, an hour I was not checking.
Recheck at 0710, ¿qué pasa? 6060 is still on unlike last night, and in
English, good modulation, the best of the lot, as 6000 is off; 6100 //
9700 are both suptorted but 9700 signal holding up to S9+10. 5040 is
unusually still on this late, but in Spanish. Something's always wrong
at RHC.
Checking 6060 next night, UT Feb 3 at 0200, again no sign of Cuba
here, just JBA Iran; 0315 recheck, now RHC is on with VG signal in
Spanish; so approx. start 0300

CUBA. 13892, 13829, 13764 S7-S9, 13636, 13573, 13508 trace, all
approx., Feb 2 at 1511, FMish spurblobs with F# tones out of 13700-AM,
at ~64 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 6000, UT Wed Feb 3 from 0420 to 0440, RHC English, checking
for the mid-week edition of Arnie Coro's 'DXers Unlimited', its former
slot on Tuesday/UT Wednesday broadcasts --- no sign of it, just
various other features including sports report, 'Connecting the
Dots'.
However, the Spanish equivalent DX program, 'En Contacto' was heard by
Claudio Galaz, Chile, Sunday January 31 from 2340 on 13740, with
typical content, but he does not say who presented it or whether they
said anything about Coro.
Spanish podcasts including 'En Contacto' are here:
http://www.radiohc.cu/podcasts
but they are quite sporadic lately, the latest being from 17 enero.
Never the voice of Arnie, but the usual Arnie-like topix including ham
DX-peditions, propagation. I listen carefully to the closing credits,
and Arnie is NOT mentioned; instead, "escribe: Luís Milán Roldán; su
locutora y amiga: Marta Ríos".
Has Arnie become a nonentity at RHC? Searching website on Coro brings
up instead a whole bunch of recent COVID-19 stories. As "Coro" in
quotes, zilch. But there may not be anything about the people who do
work there now, not even Marta
