[A-DX] Neues aus Venezuela

["Rudolf.Sonntag@xxxxxxxxxxx" <Rudolf.Sonntag@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo,

zur Abwechslung mal eine positive Nachricht für KW-Freunde. In Venezuela
entsteht eine neue Sendestation von Radio Nacional, die "bald" on air
sein soll.

Quelle Arnie Coro via DXLD:

"But there is still more good news for short wave listeners around the 
world from Radio Nacional of Venezuela: their international service, 
CANAL INTERNACIONAL, is also part of the broadcast expansion plans, 
and a new short wave transmitting station is now under construction 
there. The new installation will include a 50 kiloWatt transmitter to 
be operated on the 60 meters Tropical Band, and five 100 kiloWatts 
short wave transmitters to be operated with several antenna arrays. 

The new transmitting station is located in the State of Guárico, and 
the antenna systems will include several high gain curtain arrays and 
also quadrant type omnidirectional antennas for short and medium range 
coverage. The new transmitters are of the pulse step modulation type, 
and very efficient from the point of view of energy conversion, that 
is that they are capable of producing a 100 percent modulated signal 
with much less electricity than what is required for a high level 
plated modulated transmitter. 

The Radio Nacional of Venezuela engineering department is in charge of 
the project and it is expected that the first transmitter may be on 
the air pretty soon. The new Venezuelan international broadcasting 
facility is going to be one of the most modern and energy efficient 
installations in the Americas, and its antenna systems were designed 
with coverage of the Americas as the prime target area, but as 
expected, it may be heard around the world when propagation conditions 
are good. 

The old Venezuelan Radio Nacional 50 kiloWatt transmitter on 9540 
kiloHertz may also soon be back on the air on that traditional 
frequency that has been in use by the station for many years. At the 
present time Radio Nacional of Venezuela Canal Internacional is 
broadcasting via the Radio Cuba transmitters outside Havana, according 
to an agreement between the two nations (Arnie Coro, CO2KK, RHC DXers 
Unlimited Feb 12, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

This is the first definite news we have had that RNV will be having 
its own SWBC site. Guárico is the central, largely rural state 
directly south of Caracas; where in it, exactly? (Glenn Hauser, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)
