Arnie Coro predicts very good tropical band conditions

Jose Miguel Romero and playdx posted the following from Arnio Coro of Radio Havana Cuba.

Arnaldo Coro 

Tropical Bands Conditions are expected to be very good for the next few weeks as we enter into the equinoctial DX period.... Cuba has 4765 kHz Radio Progreso,,, 5025 kHz Radio Rebelde and 5040 kHz Radio Habana Cuba, and I am still working with my colleagues at Radio Cuba to start broadcasting once again on the 90 meters Tropical Band... Suggested frequencies 3350 and 3365 ... and you can send your suggestion to arnie@rhc.cu 

This is an old SNIEG air cooled transmitter that we will run at around 30 kiloWatts into a NVIS dipole antenna... operation planned for between local sunset and about two o'clock in the morning local time. Reports for RHC 5040 kHz can be sent to arnie at rhc dot cu, and will be replied with a nice newly printed QSL card ... 73 and DX Arnie Coro CO2KK host of Dxers Unlimited Radio Havana Cuba

Update on Cuba's Radio Progreso

Message from Arnie about Radio Progreso Tropical 60 meter band station.

Dear amigo Wolfie:
Radio Progreso's successful test from October to December of 2013 using 4765 kHz frequency registered to Cuba at the ITU with 50 kW omnidirectional and high take off angle antenna was completed on the last
day of December and starting January 1 2014 it is now a permanent daily service 7 days a week.

Under study now is the possibility of extending the on the air time starting at 2300 UTC, so that the broadcast will be from 2300 to 0500 UT.

As regards to reports received and QSL verification, the station will issue a QSL card soon, and in the meantime listeners who report correctly the transmissions will receive a QSL letter.

Please note that the postal mailing address for the 60 meters Tropical Band reports is:

Radio Progreso
Atte: Transmision Banda Tropical
PO BOX 3042
Codigo postal 10300
La Habana
Cuba.

In the meantime I will continue to relay the e-mail messages sent via Radio Havana Cuba's inforhc@ enet.cu
to Radio Progreso's Chief Engineer Ing. Jose Antonio Fuentes Beltran that is going to be the person in charge of verifying and signing the QSL letters now and QSL cards when they come from the printer.

At this moment Cuba has on the air three short wave services Radio Havana Cuba in eight languages using frequencies on the 60, 49, 31, 25, 22, 19, and 16 meters bands.

Radio Rebelde  on 5025 kHz 60 meters band

Radio Progreso on 4765 kHz 60 meters band.
