(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Apr 29) This is Radio Havana Cuba, the name of the show is Dxers Unlimited, and today's program is on the air when our station is about to celebrate its 49th year on the air amigos. On the 16th of April of 1961 Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz addressed our nation on the occasion of the burial of the victims of the air attack by B-26 bombers to the Ciudad Libertad airport in Havana. During that speech Fidel told the world that Cuba had a new short wave radio station that was, in fact, broadcasting his speech to the world. A few days later on May first, we began to use the name "Radio Havana Cuba" to identify our station. And talking a bit more about those early days of our station, we were running the first two transmitters while others were still been installed, and our antennas were up using electricity company wooden poles because the steel lattice towers had not arrived from Switzerland yet. file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX962.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:03]
Yes, and this is part of our station's history. Our first transmitter to be put on the air was an American made Gates one Kilowatt short wave set using a 4-1000A tetrode final amplifier tube, modulated by two 833's, and it was connected to a half way [sic] dipole antenna strung between two power company wooden poles that were about 45 feet high, that is about 13 meters above the ground, a very low height for a 49 meters band dipole antenna by all standards; but as our chief antenna engineer said, those two utility wooden poles allowed us to be on the air. Our second transmitter was a brand new Swiss made Brown Boveri 10 kiloWatts rig, that was installed in a provisional building at the Bauta transmitting station site. The beautifully built Brown Boveri was a masterpiece of radio engineering, and we had it on the air in record time from the moment the wooden crates arrived in Bauta. The third transmitter was quite a challenge, as never before in Cuba's radio history our engineers and technicians had installed and operated a one hundred kilowatt transmitter. Cuba's most powerful transmitters in 1961 were CMBC Radio Progreso and CMQ, both using AM broadcast equipment made by Westinghouse and running 50 kiloWatts. Before the big Brown Boveri 100 kiloWatt transmitter was on the air, Cuba's most powerful ever short wave transmitter was owned and operated by COCO, and it was a 5 kiloWatt rig that went on the air way back in 1937 in a failed attempt to link several AM medium wave transmitters located at different Cuban provinces using the short wave signal sent from Havana and picked up with a radio at the remote sites. So, putting the 100 kiloWatts Brown Boveri on the air was a historical landmark in Cuban radio history, and the transmitter was up and running just a few days before the Bay of Pigs invasion that began with the 15th of April air attack against three Cuban airports and continued with the landing of a 1500 strong mercenary force that was defeated in less than 72 hours. So, on the 16th of April, when Fidel announced that Cuba was broadcasting with its own high power short wave station, we had three transmitters on the air at the same time, the one Kilowatt Gates, and the 10 kiloWatts and 100 kilowatts Brown Boveri's. A few months later, the Bauta site, located west of the Cuban capital, had on the air two more Brown Boveri's completing the installation of the four transmitters and proceeding to install more and better antennas. Si amigos, yes my friends, oui mes amis, I had the unique opportunity, as a very young radio technician to participate in the installation of our station's first transmitters and studio to transmitter UHF links; and today I want to pay tribute to the many Cuban radio engineers, technicians and antenna crews that made possible the installation and operation of Radio Havana Cuba's first transmitting station.
