Solomon Islands 5020 1052 UTC 20 Sep 2013

This is one I have not heard in ages. Very tough with the splatter from Radio Rebelde on 5025. I remember how excited I was when I first heard this one, probably back in the early 80s, and got a QSL.

I have been seeing its carrier in all of the slop from Cuba----never any audio. The cuban splash extends down to 5015.

I remember enjoying this one back in the 80's as well, imagining how nice it would be to visit a tropical isle.  I don't remember any qrm back then though.  How long has R. Rebelde been on 5025??
