The International Broadcasting Bureau transmitting station in North Carolina is evaluating a new Orban 9300 Digital Optimod-AM audio processor on its transmitter GB-5.
The engineers in North Carolina "would be very interested in any listener comments regarding fidelity and the ability to overcome less than ideal propagation while using the new audio processor."
Here is the schedule:
UTC kHz Content
0400-0700 7405 Radio Martí
1230-1300 9610 Vatican Radio
1400-2000 13820 Radio Martí
These are normal voice broadcasts, with some music, not digital text modes! You may notice co-channel noise from Cuba on the Radio Martí frequencies.
Send reception reports to our usual address, radiogram@voanews.com, and I will forward them to North Carolina.
