Radio Havana Cuba's English language broadcasts in the 0500-0700 UTC timeframe have been off by about 15 minutes.  Tonight I tuned in just before 0500 UTC on 6010 kHz, and heard the broadcast switch from Spanish to English.  But they were midway into the broadcast already.  Usually there's a recognizable bit of music, the headlines, and the news in detail.  Tonight (06 Oct 2011) the broadcast almost immediately went into a commentary segment about the Cuban Five (a popular topic on this station).  I logged this same issue several times in September.

This may be a silly question, but is Cuba using a sidereal time index? That'll drift about compared to a day based on 24 hours even.

Peace!

Replacement 1950s clock parts are hard to find.
