Radio Havana Cuba stoops to a new level of.....
« on: August 17, 2023, 1734 UTC »
...I'm not sure what to call what I heard last night/this morning

They were broadcasting english language movie audio last night in the 0700UTC. Not just snippets, but an entire Robin Williams movie.

The slightly odd but not shocking thing was, RHC program audio was heard under the movie audio. The movie audio was quite well heard, clean, easy to understand.. the program audio was way way under that barely rising to barely detectable levels.

Even after 9700 should've signed off, it continued on.. but solely with audio from another movies audio.

Not sure what in the world was going on!

I heard this too, I was alerted to it by TheHappyWanker. I tuned in around 0750 UTC to hear movie audio in English with better than normal RHC modulation. At 0800 UTC I heard the audio continue but the Spanish OM ID way in the background.

Here is the recording https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nQ9Z9EtrQxw-DlGZYfHYbmzo1m9LSZr1/view?usp=drive_web
A Novel form of jamming I'd say. Nope I guess it was a studio mess up?

Tonight, it isnt RHC but its Rebelde's SW outlet, 5025 broadcasting TV audio.

At first, it appeared to be a British tv show, but have an interlude that included the little drummer boy, it's some german tv show or movie    0700UTC Aug 20
