during 2300 to 2400 while playing Mana in Concert, the signal remained
with practically no fading. What would you think about this?

Evangelical in Alajuela instantly brings to mind Adventist World Radio,
which used to operate on SW and I think still has a
studio/produxion/uplink there. Is that it?

You Tube. Radio La Habana Cuba.
Field producers for Media Television Timothy Speaks Fishleigh takes an
inside look at Radio Havana Cuba's English service. A small group of

Includes Arnaldo Coro, identified as "Founder, RHC". Altho he certainly
played an important role, I doubt that even he would claim to be THE
founder of RHC. I wonder how old this is? He was axually in the studio,
not phoning in from home. Watch the backgrounds for an idea of their
antiquated equipment, our fault of course. Starting the third minute,
graphics about Radio Marti, not with its theme music, but RHC's! Note the
little-known names of some of the other RHC personnel, not all Cubans.
Even the head of the Creole service speaks with an American accent.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC The shortwave transmitter at Radio Amanecer
Internacional near Santo Domingo went off the air last February, but it
was re-activated again in August. This 1 kW unit on 6025 kHz has since
been heard widely in Europe and North America. Radio Amanecer is owned by
the Seventh-day Adventist denomination in the Dominican Republic, it is
located in the three storey HQ building in Santo Domingo, and it is
affiliated with Adventist World Radio. Recently, Adventist World Radio
made available some of the electronic equipment from San Jose in Costa
Rica for use at Radio Amanecer. In addition to the shortwave transmitter,
Radio Amanecer HIAJ also operates AM & FM transmitters in the capital
city, as well as three additional mediumwave transmitters in country areas
for nationwide coverage.
