[IRCA] Remember early Socialist station in Cuba?

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Now that it`s an hour `later` by the local clock, I will be 
more likely to catch RHC`s Spanish DX program, En Contacto, Sundays at 
1335 UT. March 25, on 11760, Manolo Ortega Romero was interviewed, or 
rather it was edited into a monolog, about a precursor of all 
Revolutionary Cuban broadcasting today. It was La Emisora del Pueblo, 
informally ``La Mil Diez`` which was on a clear channel 1010, and 
covered the whole island, especially during béisbol games, between the 
years of 1943 and 1948 when it was closed down by the then government. 
It was run by the Partido Socialista Popular; had its own orchestra, 
dramatic and comic actors. Ortega said he was a writer but 
occasionally also acted. The closure came on May 1, 1948, 
International Workers` Day. I wonder if anyone remembers DXing this 
station, or even QSLing it, and what were its calls? 73, Glenn Hauser
