A thief takes shortwave broadcasts off the air

HAVANA, Cuba - August 12 (Richard Roselló / www.cubanet.org) - Shortwave radio broadcasts to Venezuela and Central America were interrupted for two days this week when someone stole aluminum insulators from transmission towers.

A source at the towers, located in San Felipe, south of Havana, said the thief slipped through state security and obviously stole the insulators to sell them for the aluminum content.

The towers also carry a signal which interrupts reception of the U.S. government's Radio Martí and TV Martí signals from Florida.

"The interruption occurred on Monday and Tuesday," said the source.
