[HCDX] Cuba MW, SW in parallel now
A huge chunk of the Cuban national and provincial networks, along with
locals, are currently linked with coverage of an anti-US outdoor rally since
my tune-in from 1358+ GMT (9:58 EDT+) today, 17 May. Only the national
Radio Reloj network is not parallel. It's not too often that Musical
Nacional links up, as they are today.
Per www.granma.cu: "President Fidel Castro headed the march of thousands of
Cubans against terrorism and calling on the United States to arrest the
terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, which wound its way through the streets of
the capital today.
"Wearing his traditional khakis, Fidel led the event to denounce the acts of
terrorism against Cuba that have cost some 3,5000 lives in 40-plus years.
"The march of the combative people filed past the US Interests Section in
Havana to make patent their rejection of the US anti-Cuba policy and the
presence in that country of the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles."
Maybe the Old Man already retired to the shade. All the airings of Fidel
have been sound bytes dubbed over marching music beds; same with the "live"
music -- Silvio Rodriguez, etc. -- all studio recordings between the street
rally coverage.
Man and chica reporters covering a group working their way up the Malecón,
now at Avenida Veinte Tres as I type at 1514.
A quick MW scan of everything that's in parallel:
530 Rebelde - THIS IS NOW A HUGE SIGNAL! They have just greatly increased
power from the former threshold signal that initially appeared in response
to the airborne platform Radio Martí Saturday broadcasts on 530. This is
still DFing to western (Habana-area) Cuba; 550 Rebelde; 590 Musical
Nacional; 640 Progreso; 670 Rebelde; 710 Rebelde; 730 Progreso; 1000 Guamá;
1020 Guamá; 1020 Cadena Habana; 1080 Cadena Habana; 1120 Cadena Habana; 1140
Cadena Habana or Enciclopedia; 1180 Rebelde; 1260 Enciclopedia (?).
In addition, shortwave 5025, 6000, 9505, 9550, 11655, 11670, 11720, 11760,
11800, 12000 and 15230 are in parallel.
And a quick rundown of some of the local an provincials that are relaying
was announced just before 1425 and included "...Radio Caribe, Radio
Revolución, Radio Mambí, Radio Siboney, Sonido FM [previously unknown
station], Radio Ocho -- FM [previously unknown station]; Radio Grito [1420
kHz], Radio Pitan [1520 kHz]..." I missed a similar announcement at 1510,
catching only "...Radio Sandino..."
Venceremos!
