New
antennas an effort to jam U. S.-based Radio Martí?
HAVANA, August 26 (www.cubanet.org) - The Cuban
government has installed four large parabolic
antennas in Palma Soriano, in easternmost Cuba,
which experts have said could be intended to jam
transmissions of U. S. -based Radio Martí.
"The antennas are about six meters (about
19 feet) in diameter and have been placed in the
tallest structures: the water tank on the roof
of the Palma Hotel, the Popular Council building,
about 80 meters (about 250 feet) high; another
on the water works water tank, about 300 meters
(over 900 feet) high; and the fourth on the roof
of the printing plant, at more than 100 meters
(over 300 feet) high," said Juan Carlos Cárdenas,
a human rights activist in Palma Soriano.
It is widely known that at San Felipe, in southern
Havana province, there are several such antennas,
as well as in several other places on the island.
