Our frequency is 11390 kHz, and power in the region of 30 watts. Test brodcast consist of non stop music and station identification announcements in Italian, English, Spanish and Catalan but it is possible that old programs are aired, too. MRI welcomes reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100%.

CUBA Tropical Bands Conditions expected to be very good for the next few weeks as we enter into the equinoctial DX period. Cuba has 4765 kHz Radio Progreso, 5025 kHz Radio Rebelde and 5040 kHz Radio Habana Cuba, and I am still working with my colleagues at Radio Cuba to start broadcasting once again on the 90 meters Tropical Band. Suggested frequencies 3350 and 3365 kHz via an old SNIEG air cooled transmitter that we will run at around 30 kW into a NVIS dipole antenna operation, planned for between local sunset and about two o'clock in the morning local time. Reports for RHC 5040 kHz can be sent to <arnie@rhc.cu> and will be replied with a nice newly QSL printed card. 73 and DX. Arnie Coro CO2KK, host of Dxers Unlimited of RHC
