Radio
equipment meant to jam U. S. broadcast signals
to Cuba
NUEVA GERONA, September 30 (www.cubanet.org)
- The Cuban government agency Radio Cuba has installed
a third television channel and a radio transmitter
to jam U. S. radio and TV broadcasts.
The transmitters have been installed in the Isle
of Youth, south of Havana, and were bought with
a credit granted by China.
Cuban government officials have said that the
investment was made to improve the signal of the
local station, Radio Caribe, but others say the
operation is part of the "battle of ideas"
decreed by Fidel Castro.
In Nueva Gerona, the capital of the Isle of Youth,
U. S. broadcasts from several Miami radio stations,
as well as the TV signal from Telemundo, can often
be received.
