I noticed that Radio Havana's 6000 freq was subject to loud pops and
abrupt changes in signal level tonight around 0400. 9820 was not
affected, but was too weak to listen to. The loud popping followed by
rapid oscillation in signal level made Cuba impossible to listen to. Did
anybody else notice this? Could this have been thunderstorms in the
northeast?

How about thunderstorms or power supply problems at the transmitter site?

They also have audio problems. They are at times under-modulated, over
modulated and splattering adjacent frequencies, missing the high end
audio or just plain distorted. The defective audio changes with program
content and the transmitter being used so appears to be related to both.
