Radio Habana Cuba update from Coro
 

** CUBA. Just got off the phone with Arnaldo Coro, nice clear connexion.
He
says the main problem at RHC is no power at the transmitter site, since
the
powerlines serving it are down, or blown away. They are trying to
rebuild
them and possibly will be ready to return to the air by next Tuesday,
but no
promises. A studio-transmitter-link tower at the site collapsed, as it
was not
expected to have to confront such high winds. Otherwise the transmitter
site
is OK, and there was no damage at the Habana studios. He will be out of
country next week in St. Lucia, so if you do hear a DXers Unlimited
program, it will have been recorded earlier. [Nothing was said about the
antennas in particular, nor whether he was only talking about the Bauta
site, since there are two others, partially used for relaying China if
not Venezuela --- gh]. (George Thurman, TX, 2330 UT Aug 27, DX LISTENING

Makes you wonder why a country with so many problems would even bother
rebuilding an international service.

How many people will get less ration coupons to pay for it?

To keep up the facade.

i feel so bad for those people in Cuba. there was a story
in Playboy, 2 or maybe 3 years ago. euro's can get in and
out of that country freely, unlike us forward thinking
people from the US. you can get there from Canada. not that
i would do that. sneak into a Godless Commie Country? Never!!!
i do enjoy their shortwave radio. little money, med shortage's,
few good paying job's, repressive political system, etc. I'm so
happy were so much better off? from the pix i've seen, i'd love
to see the country. look's like Fla in the fifties...

I feel so backwards-thinking, coming from Europe.
