** CUBA. 9700, Aug 17 at 0648, drama in American English, completely
produced with sound effects, NOT typical RHC programming, but this has
got to be RHC transmitter extension, huge S9+20/30 rather than some
pirate. Also an undercurrent of Spanish audio. Perhaps site plugged
into wrong program feed, even something off satellite? Keeps going
past 0700 with no break, when I`ve got to quit. Something`s always
wrong at RHC.

Paul Walker, Alaska, was also hearing this: ``R. Havana Cuba Stoops To
A New Level Of... I'm not sure what to call what I heard last
night/this morning. They were broadcasting English language movie
audio last night in the 0700 UT. Not just snippets, but an entire
Robin Williams movie. The slightly odd but not shocking thing was, RHC
program audio was heard under the movie audio. The movie audio was
quite well heard, clean, easy to understand. The program audio was way
way under that barely rising to barely detectable levels. Even after
9700 should've signed off, it continued on, but solely with audio from
another movie. Not sure what in the world was going on!``

I did not recognize Robin Williams, but this was not a comedy. I
recall hearing a similar anomaly at least once before, but difficult
to find among all my RHC logs. Maybe the ops were watching a movie in
the shack, mistakenly putting it on the air?

Paul replies: ``A friend and I were texting as we both DX'd, he in
Mobile Alabama. He identified it was Robin Williams as I wasn`t at my
radio at the time, but I rushed over to it; and I would've recognized
the voice as Robin Williams shortly, if my friend hadn`t told me. In
continued listening my friend was even able to ID the movie, "Cadillac
Man"`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2204)
