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].

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

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... Drifter... |
