I also heard Radio Havana last night in the wee hours of the UTC
morning, with a YL reading "news" (i.e. yabbering about The Cuban
Five) just like Arnie Coro was doing on Friday night around the same
time. She sounded like someone had an Arnie voice synthesizer and had
switched it to "female" mode. :-)

I primarily chase UTEs so I didn't log the exact time but it was on
6000.0 kHz. Didn't even note S-meter reading, but moderately strong
signal and perfectly readable with no difficulty.

I also heard a station on 7335.0 playing country music for a program
they were billing as "New Music Spotlight" with decent signal levels
but some minor fading. My understanding was that WRNO's antenna had
been destroyed by Katrina, so who's broadcasting on 7335?

Most likely WHRI (World Harvest Radio).

There used to be a SW station out of Kentucky that broadcast country
type gospel music 24/7. I don't remember their callsign. This was in
the early 2000s. I immediately thought of them when I read the above.
It could be WHRI, though. I don't follow American domestic SW all that
closely.

Cuba has occupied 6000 in the local evenings for a very long time. I
can usually get 6000 in very strong in California. Sometimes it's
strong, but very noisy. It can have so much static that understanding
what they're saying can be a challenge.

7335 was occupied 24/7 by RFPI in the late 90s before University For
Peace canned them. I wasn't aware that WRNO was still on the air as
late as 2005. I thought they had disappeared years before that. WRNO-
FM in the New Orleans metro area never went under, just changed owners
(a lot), but I thought that WRNO-SW had gone under in the 90s and the
tx sold then used for a station with another call.

Really? Where was this station located? How could this persist for
any length of time on top of CHU in view of international agreements
and treaties?

The frequency is wrong, RFPI was somewhat higher in freqency (actually
I seem to recall there may have been a number of frequencies somewhat
above the 40metre ham band, since I think they used different
frequencies for SSB and AM).

The transmitter was down in Costa Rica.

Of course, there was talk earlier this year that CHU would have
to move or even shut down (if the cost of a frequency move was
too prohibitive) since it uses a frequency allocated to shortwave
broadcast, while time stations are classified as something else.
I can't remember how that was resolved.

Old - Radio For Peace International (RFPI)
Shortwave Radio Broadcast Frequencies

A brief web search for RFPI Shortwave reveals :

The Radio For Peace International (RFPI) Shortwave
Radio Broadcasts were on : 15039 or 15040 kHz,
7445 kHz and 21815 kHz {USB}
http://www.fsrn.org/broadcast.html

Also RFPI used : 6980 kHz {USB}, 7385 kHz,
15050 kHz, and 21.465 hHz (USB)

7335 vice 7445 is easy to mis-remember
