Title: 29.130 AM broadcast
Post by: Kevin G on January 15, 2023, 2307 UTC

Hi.. I have been hearing a broadcast on 29.130 mhz AM. I have heard spanish music. I have heard it during evenings around 2300UTC.. Not sure if pirate or what. Just curious.. I have checked other loggings but haven't seen any thing..I am in south central Wisconsin.
Thanks! Kevin

Well, I just found a report from November 2022 that it is Radio Havana Cuba.. Interesting!!  s-7 here right now.. Its a harmonic of 9710 khz, but AM..

I thought I had seen something about RHC having a harmonic around there, but I wasn’t sure. They are well know for poorly maintained equipment so it’s not surprising. Recently Radio Rebelde (also from Cuba) has been heard on its harmonic of 10080 kHz stronger than the fundamental (5025 kHz)!

Cuba got hammered by Hurricane Ian this past fall and is still rebuilding. They don't get parts for those old Eastern Bloc transmitters these day's, either. RHC is up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Will we ever hear "Mambo Number 5" blasting on 10 different frequencies at once, again?
