Radio Habana Sounds Like Ka-Ka
Whatever happened to the Cuban powerhouse. Can we take up a collection to
buy them some new modulator tubes? Somebody call the Svetlana factory and get some new glass in that transmitter! Listening 6.000MHz 0300Z, they sound like crap. Low freq popping noises, muffled audio probably modulating the carrier only a few percent. My ham rig has better audio! Pathetic. |

But I'm in the eastern US, so maybe better for me than you. Last night everything was crap though. |

I have always had problems monitoring RHC, both on 6000, and 9820. They almost always sound muffled and muddy. Though I like their news @0100 on 9820, I use a graphic equalizer to help enrich the sound, and cut out noise and static. Fred Burgess |

I don't listen to them much anymore but lately every time I went by them scanning through the band they had weak muffled audio with some kind of TTY in the background. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
Solution to RHC's transmitter problems:
end the US embargo!! |

I read somewhere that the problems with their signal has to do with
reception problems rather than poor modulation at the source. I don't know this from my own experience, of course. But I can tell you that when I was in Orlando, Florida last October I expected them to boom in and they were coming in less well then they usually do up here in Connecticut, so there may be something to it. Just like in the Winter months when I can't hear WBCQ at all and they tell me it is skipping over me. It comes in fine in the summer but never in the winter. Jay "Fred Burgess" wrote in message om...
