Radio Habana Cuba will start broadcasting on the 90 meters in near future

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
