427.0. "Cuba Satellite Relay Station" by SASE::BIRO () Fri Apr 29 1988 12:18

    I think Cuba now has an operation Satellite relay station
    so that Ships outside radio range with the home land can
    relay messages via Cuba .   I have started
    picking up messages from the Soviet Tracking Ships  (SESS)
    to radio CLJ (Cuba radio call sign) but the address
    of these messages are for Russia.  This could be
    a new satellite relay station or it could also
    indicate that the SESS normally station at Sable
    Island has move and that something is about  to
    happen the the Russian Space Program. ( The Sable Island
    SESS normally does the satellite relays )
    
    Also radio communication from mir (TLM not voice) has
    stoped (since 18th APR) another indicator that the tracking ship at
    Sable Island is moving.   The last time this happen
    was in Feb 88 when there was rumors that the Soviets
    were about to launch their space shuttle.
