In Radio Havana Cuba’s DXers Unlimited midweek edition 6/7 April 2010, host Arnie Coro says:
“Monday April 5 UTC day we completed implementing the registered at the ITU Geneva Radio Havana Cuba’s A10 schedule, that will be effective until October, although it may require some minor changes during the middle of the summer according to my analysis.
“You will now be able to pick up RHC on several new frequencies , like for example 5970 kiloHertz, beaming to Central North America with our 4 by 4 curtain array.
“We are also now broadcasting on 12030 kiloHertz in Spanish , and we may soon be testing a daytime frequency on the 21 megaHertz or 13 meters band.
“We also added two more hours to our domestic Tropical Band service on 5040 kiloHertz, that from now on will be starting at 21 Hours UTC with our Spanish language magazine show.”

This RHC outlet on short-wave is well heard here in Melbourne, so I\’ll be trying for the other outlets as well.
I also recieved a not from the company that made the new transmitters of radio vanuautu,(short-Wave,because nothing else works way out in the Pacific), they tell me they have plans for similar short-wave stations in Guyana and Liberia, and it will all happen on HF Short wave.

Arnie Coro’s blog:
5040 kiloHertz frequency
The new national service is designed to provide coverage of the most famous Cuban tourist resorts , like Varadero Beach, Cayo Largo , Jardines del Rey, Guardalavaca, and others where last year some two million three hundred thousand foreign tourists visited to enjoy their holidays.
Reports of the new transmissions began to come in immediately from the Jardines del Rey tourist resort located in the keys north of Ciego de Avila province, where signals of S9 +40 dB were picked up.
The antenna used on 5040 kiloHertz is an NVIS system.
an unfortunate frequency choice, as 5045 was the strongest brazilian signal, already covered on upper sideband by the strong 5050 broadcasts, and now by the strong cuban 5040 rendering it buried
