It`s just NE of Rimouski on the Gaspé peninsula, right bank of the St-Laurent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, Feb 5 circa 0330, RHC Spanish is on again, tho missing last night. It and all others are off at 0700 check - 6000, 6100, 9700, some maybe just moments ago but 5040 is still on with Spanish ID until off at 0701*. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15700, Feb 5 at 1604, S9+30 of dead air, as CRI relay transmitter has not been turned off by 1600. Standard remark about kWh wastage.
