Havana on 11760 coming in nice and clear. Slight drifting in signal.

This seems like a higher than normal frequency for this time of day..I'm
at 23:17 Mountain daylight, and usually get the best reception at lower
frequencies.

The ionosphere can be weird...

Did you give the 9 MHz and 6 MHz bands a try to see the difference?
They might have been better.

I can get Radio Rebelde any night on 5025. Very strong signal.


Interestingly, ~0300-0315 UTC 10 July (i.e. Monday evening) in the
Vancouver area of SW British Columbia, there was no sign of RHC on
11760, 9550, or 6180 (and mebbe others that I couldn't be bothered to
check)... nor was Rebelde on 5025 which is a marker of reasonable
reception.

A re-check past 0400 showed the same situation, tho 4930 was showing
VoA Botswana as well as could be expected. That suggests conditions
were normal.

Mebbe Fidel's minions didn't pay the power bill?
