Listened for them yesterday and today about 1130 - 1200 Z. Nothing, which surprised me since I was hearing a Tasmania ham on 40 meters today and a very low power Aus foundation station yesterday.
Cuba just started on 5025 dashing all hope of hearing them.

I saw a report elsewhere that they are having antenna problems, so they may not be on the air yet?
