** CUBA. 15230, Feb 26 at 1547, S8/S9 of dead air, or trace of mod? from RHC, where something`s always wrong. The only other active frequency, 6000 after 0100 in English, was reported earlier this date by Chris Campbell, Ron Trotto and James Branum with greatly improved modulation. Chris: ``RHC improvements on 6000 kHz --- Hey Glenn, An insider at RHC alerted me earlier tonight to try the 6000 kHz broadcast this evening. I just got home and I have to say after monitoring and logging them for years, this is the best quality I have heard in a long time. Since their return, I had been supplying audio samples a couple times a week. Each was forwarded to their engineer at the transmitter site (they won't say which one). I also alerted them to the T.O.H. female news reader with the extreme monotone voice which is impossible to understand. They took all suggestions well and I was told the equipment is old but there is some things they are trying. I hope this continues and they are requesting additional feedback.
