same time span.

Cuba at this moment has not one, but two transmitters operating regularly
on the Tropical Bands 60 meters, 5025 kHz R Rebelde and 5040 kHz R Havana
Cuba. Both are using Near Vertical Incidence Skywave antenna systems
designed and built by us for optimizing the coverage of the Cuban
archipelago. Power of the transmitters are 50 kW for R Rebelde and 100 kW
for R Havana Cuba. Both frequencies are properly registered with the ITU,
Geneva.
We may soon start a test transmission on the 90 meters band, that is
pending the availability of an antenna capable of operating on that band.
The frequency may very probably be 3365 kHz, as it was already registered
with the ITU for use by R Rebelde. But in the tests will be done with the
R Habana Cuba programs. I am now reviewing the time segment for the tests,
that will probably be between 0200 and 0600 UT.

Cuba on 3365, 5025 or 5040 kHz are not on the frequency list published by
the HFCC, dated Nov 02, 2010, so all must be for domestic purposes!
(Anker Petersen-DEN, dswci DXW Dec 15 ed., via dxld)
That is not the criterion for HFCC entries, which do include numerous
domestic services, tho hit-and-miss. It's because as an outlaw station,
RHC refuses to participate in HFCC.
