5025 on 27 Dec, at 0131 UT, Radio Rebelde with latin music and echo
announcements. verified by streaming audio. Very weak at the time I caught
it. I will try to get up earlier tomorrow and see if the signal is
stronger. Two positive Rebelde IDs.
Radio Habana also coming in on 5040 kHz which is supposedly beamed towards
North America. Much better signal on this frequency.

CUBA 11670 on Dec 30 at 2219 UT, I am surprised to hear RHC IS, and
then an Indian language, certainly not the usual Radio Nacional de
Venezuela transmission in Spanish, the only thing scheduled on this
frequency from Cuba, at 22-23! Guarani was deleted a year or two ago, so
unless that has been revived, it must be Quechua. But per current
schedule, QC is supposed to be at 0000-0030 UT on 15370 kHz. That
frequency appeared to be on now, but weak signal and dead air. Guarani
used to be on the same frequency as Quechua (then 17705) at other times.
At 2225 UT had to resort to Spanish words, talking about "Costa de Marfil,
ex-colonia francesa".
2230 UT switched to Creole, audio breaking up and undermodulated. That's
supposed to be at 2300 on 15370 kHz per online sked presented in Spanish,
while in WRTH, French is supposed to be on 15370 at 2230, except Sundays
Esperanto, which we have never been able to confirm. This was definitely
Kriyol-la, not French. However, at recheck 2256, 11670 had meanwhile
switched to correct feed of RNV with IS and sign-off announcement. In
other words, at RHC, it's SNAFU.
6050 checking RHC English, Dec 31 at 0211 UT, very strong, but it has
co-channel QRM under from some music, and producing a subaudible
heterodyne. Thus the negligible HCJB is capable of interfering with RHC in
NoAM! Maybe that will get Arnie's attention, as his monumental failure of
frequency management continues.

CYPRUS 17 Meter Wideband QRM. Wideband Hash, maybe Radar, from 18.065
through 18.085 kHz at S=7-9 at 1357 UT Dec 23, it went QRT at 1401 UT
exactly.

It was Akrotiri's PLUTO-II radar. (mike chace-ortiz.org)
It is RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus and is a NATO installation. (Colin G3PSM, Dec
