New test pattern jams TV Martí in Santa
Clara
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - April 17 (José
Moreno Cruz, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- TV viewers who tried to tune to the broadcast
from U.S.-based TV Martí Saturday
April 16 from Santa Clara were surprised
to find themselves watching a test pattern
they hadn't seen before accompanied by a
high-frequency pitch.
The pattern was on the air from early afternoon
to about midnight, when TV Martí
would have ended its broadcasts for the
day.
Some viewers in nearby municipalities said
"they had been able to see and hear
some of the programming." Santa Clara
is the fifth most populous city in Cuba.
Cuban radio authorities have tried to jam
radio and TV signals beamed to the island
from the U. S. in various ways. Presently,
they not only jam TV Martí, but several
AM radio stations from Florida that are
powerful enough to be heard in Cuba.
