If you live in the Americas and you regularly listen to a shortwave radio, you have no doubt heard Radio Havana Cuba\u00a0across\u00a0the shortwave spectrum. When I travel in North or Central America, I can easily hear RHC, often without even extending the telescopic antenna on my portable.<\/p>\n
A long-running program on RHC’s English hour is Arnie Coro’s DXers Unlimited<\/em>.<\/p>\n Tuesday night, I recorded the DXers Unlimited<\/em> segment from RHC’s The English Hour <\/em>on 6 MHz,<\/em> and offer it here for your listening pleasure. \u00a0If the recording doesn’t sound typical of shortwave radio, it’s because: a) RHC’s signal is exceptionally strong into North America, and b) I recorded this with an AM filter 24 kHz wide<\/em>. \u00a0In other words, I widened my DSP filter to match RHC’s bandwidth on my spectrum display–and to put this in perspective, I regularly record between 7-9 kHz wide. (This results in the crisp, high-fidelity audio you hear in this recording, though unfortunately at the compromise of any adjacent stations abiding by HF broadcasting etiquette.)<\/p>\n
