Introduction Detai:Led information on military electronics facilities in Cuba is now available in the following documents: USAF, Tactical Air Command, DI 2462, Target Study, the Republic of Cuba, January 1962, SECRET/NOFORN. USMC, Fleet Marine Forces Atlantic, FMFLANT AAS-14 (2 volumes), .Area Study of Cuba, November 1960 (changes through march 1962), SECRET. II. Organization and Management of Electronics Facilities The Ministry of Communications has continued to extend its control over Cuban telecommunications. Since 1960 the Ministry has assumed operational control and management of the Red Oficial de Comunicaciones por Microondas (ROCMI) microwave and very-high-frequency (VHF) network; has reduced its dependence on foreign-owned international telecommuni- cations companies through the expansion of its international point-to- point radio facilities; and has taken over the transmission facilities of Agencia Prensa Latina, or Prensa Latina, the Cuban official news service. Although the ROCMI network still remains a primary telecom- munications medium for military requirements,** those requirements that cannot be absorbed by it are being met through the utilization of other civil networks. In June 1962 the Council of Ministers created the Cuban Radio Broadcasting Institute (Instituto Cubano de Radiodifusion -- ICR), which assumed control of all radio and television broadcasting from the Ministry of Communications. Ramiro Puerta Quiroga was appointed director general of ICR along with the following three deputy directors: Jose Antonio Cainas Sierra, in charge of domestic radiobroadcasting; Gregorio Ortega y Suarez, in charge of domestic television broadcasting; * The estimates and conclusions in this publication represent the best judgment of this Office as of 15 January 1963. ** For further information on the possible use of the ROCMI network for military command and control purposes, see CIA/RR CB 62-25, Possible Use of Milita Microwave Network in Cuba for Command-Control Purposes, 2 November 1962, SECRET NO FOREIGN DISSEM.

Current information on prominent radio and television personalities, however, is as follows: Juan Marti Director of the Television Revolucion television network. Violeta Casals Director general of the Radio Rebelde network. Amaury Perez Director of the CMQ network. Celestino Garcia Suarez Director of the Radio Progreso network. Leoncio Perez Linares Subdirector of the Radio Progreso network. Orlando Martinez Director of the Radio Musical Nacional network.: Santiago Frayle Director of the Reloj Nacional network. Angel Hernandez Director of the radio station The Friendly Voice of Cuba. * The offices of ICR reportedly are located on the third and fourth floors of the Edificio Radiocentro, Calle "M" between 21st and 23d, Vedado, Havana.

Capabilities and Vulnerabilities The capabilities and vulnerabilities of Cuban electronic resources remain for the most part unchanged. Minor qualifications and changes are reflected in V, below. IV. General Statistics Available information is inadequate to update the statistical data on Cuban electronics facilities, but no major changes in these data are believed to have occurred. V. Plans and Intentions Information concerning the expansion and improvement of the Cuban telecommunications system since 1960 is as follows: Microwave -- Plans for the improvement and expansion of the ROCMI network, now under the Director General of Telecommunications of the Ministry of Communications, have not been fully realized. This network continues to operate at less than satisfactory standards of reliability and quality and, in some cases, at less than its designed capacity of 24 telephone channels. Plans for the expansion of VHF feeder lines, however, have been realized (see the reference of Figure 2*). Plans calling for the expansion of the ROCMI network to 120 telephone channels by 1965 are in the early stages of implementation. These plans may not be achieved, inasmuch as the Bloc will be relied on to provide the equipment and present Bloc production lags behind current Bloc needs. Fulfillment would require a high priority in Bloc planning and allocation. For detailed specifications of the equipment which would be needed to expand the ROCMI network from24 to 120 tele- phone channels, 8, below. S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79T01049A002600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79T01049A002600030001-9 Telephone -- Plans to import telephone sets and rotary tele- phone, central-office switching equipment from Hungary apparently re- main unchanged. Central offices scheduled to receive this equipment include the Arroyo-Havana central office and the central offices in Holgui'n, Victoria de las Tunas, Santiago de Cuba, Tarara, Guines, and San Antonio de Los Banos. Serious delays encountered in the operational use of these exchanges are anticipated, as they are not compatible with existing step-by-step exchanges. This lack of compatibility will neces- sitate the provision of separate central office facilities for rotary exchanges and the design and construction of equipment for interconnect- ing rotary and step-by-step facilities. New plans have been formulated to increase the capacity of the Cuban long-distance telephone wireline and cable network through the installation of Hungarian carrier equipment. Although these plans, as shown in the tabulation below, were to be executed initially in 1962, Proposed Carrier System for the Cuban Long-Distance Telephone Network 1962 To Central Office Type Total Telephone Channels Havana Santiago de las Vegas BK-12* 60 Havana Cotorro BK-12 36 Cotorro Guines BO-12** 24 Cotorro Santa Clara BO-12 12 Santa Clara Placetas BO-12 12 Placetas Trinidad BO-12 12 Santa Clara Ciego de Avila BO-12 12 Ciego de Avila Camaguey BO-12 12 Camaguey Victoria de las Tunas BO-12 12 Victoria de las Tunas Holguin BO-12 12 Victoria de las Tunas Santiago de Cuba BO-12 12 Santiago de las Vegas Surgidero de Batabano VTO-3/4*** 6 Santo Domingo Sagua la Grande VTO-3/4 3 Santo Domingo Cienfuegos VTO-3/4 3 Camaguey Santa Lucia VTO-3/4 3 Total Telegraph Channels 8 4 4 4 * Twelve-telephone-channel carrier equipment for use on cable lines, manu- factured by the Beloiannisz Telecommunications Plant, Budapest, Hungary. ** Twelve-telephone-channel carrier equipment for use on open wirelines, manufactured by the Beloiannisz Telecommunications Plant, Budapest, Hungary. --- Three-telephone plus four-telegraph-channel carrier equipment, manu- factured by the Beloiannisz Telecommunications Plant, Budapest, Hungary. - 5 - S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79T01049A002600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 delays in the supply of equipment may retard the completion of this project by as much as 2 years. The Hungarian Beloiannisz Telecommuni- cations Plant is to begin delivery of BO-12 (12-telephone-channel) carrier equipment for wirelines by the end of 1962 but will be unable to deliver the BK-12 (12-telephone-channel) carrier equipment for cable lines. Efforts now are being made to obtain equipment comparable to the BK-12 from East Germany for installation in 1963-64. The delivery schedule from Hungary of VTO-3/4 (3-telephone and 4-telegraph channel) carrier equipment for feeder wirelines is unknown. Telegraph -- Plans for expansion and improvement of the Cuban telegraph system remain unchanged. Execution of these plans, however, is progressing at a slow rate. The only telegraph offices known to have received teletype equipment are those serving the aimed forces. Point-to-Point Radio -- Agencia Prensa Latina nor maintains a regular schedule of transmissions to Latin America and Europe. Its transmitting facilities have been augmented by additionai transmitters at Bauta. Radiobroadcasting -- With the completion of the thultimillion- dollar international radiobroadcasting station at Bauta,!,Cuba now ranks first among all the countries of the Caribbean and Central and South America in number of hours of international broadcasting per day. There are indications that Radio Havana Cuba intends to maintain this lead by adding new transmissions. New languages to be added reportedly include Russian and Chinese. In the field of domestic broadcasting, ICR can bo expected to continue the vast reorganization, started in the summer 6f 1961, which promises to make the domestic radio system into a more manageable propaganda tool with which to manipulate the Cuban peopl4. As part of this reorganization, twelve 5-kilowatt (kw) and three 50-kw trans- mitters were purchased from Hungary early in 1962 to refurbish the wornout and poorly maintained equipment in use. Eventually, the domestic broadcasting system probably will be reduced to3 or 4 nation- wide networks (studios in Havana) of about 12 stations each, a single minor network of 3 or 4 stations for 5 of the 6 province , and 12 or more local stations. Television -- Many radio-television exchange agreements have been signed with Sino-Soviet Bloc countries. This close; cooperation is certain to continue. Improvements in television technical facilities can be expected in the future as efforts are made to bring all Cuba within range of the two national television networks. In early 1962, for example, television S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049A002600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79T01049A002600030001-9 S-E-C-R-E-T was extended to the westernmost province of Pinar del Rio by the erec- tion of broadcasting stations in San Cristobal and Consolacion del Sur. Further expansion, however, will depend largely on the availability of parts and equipment, commodities which currently seem to be in short supply. Tropospheric Scatter Radio -- There has been no further evidence of plans for the establishment of a tropospheric scatter radio circuit to connect Havana and the Isle of Pines. International Telecommunications -- As anticipated, Cuba has decreased reliance on foreign-owned international telecommunications companies through the expansion of its own international point-to-point radio facilities (see Figure 12). Sino-Soviet Bloc Assistance -- There are no indications that since 19 0 Bloc countries have accelerated their supply of nonmilitary electronics equipment to Cuba. In fact, there have been frequent references to delays in equipment deliveries. Appendixes Appendix A. Biographical Sketches See II, above. Appendix B.

Delete from the map all of the following symbols: 1. Retransmission station reported to be associated with the CMBF television network. 2. Local television station. 3. Planned television station. 4. UHF television station. The following information supersedes that on the apron to the map: Cuban Television Broadcasting System Before the forces of Fidel Castro assumed control of Cuba, there were three nationwide television networks extending from Havana, where all programs originated, east to Oriente Province. In addition, Havana had three local television stations and the interior city of Camaguey had a local television station of its own. Only the westernmost prov- ince of Pinar del Rio was without television. Now there exist only two nationwide networks, all other stations having been taken out of opera- tion. The two existing networks, CMQ-TV and CMBF Television Revolucion, have been extended into Pinar del Rio so that all of Cuba is now within the range of this most effective propaganda medium. The equipment for this expansion and the spare parts needed to keep the networks in opera- tion apparently have come from the now defunct CMAB-TV network and the four Havana and Camaguey stations. -9- S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79T01049A002600030001-9 S-E-C-R-E-T As with radiobroadcasting, all television has been placed under the control of ICR, a body subject directly to the Council of Ministers. The ICR deputy director for television is Gregorio Ortega y Suarez, former government intervenor of the CMQ radio and television chains. Ortega seems to be having trouble maintaining even a rudimentary service for Cuban viewers, for programing has recently been cutback from 13 hours to about 8 hours per day for each network. The three news- casts broadcast daily by the CMQ-TV network are relayed by CMBF Tele- vision Revolucion and comprise the entire news output of both nets. Indoctrination and entertainment comprise the remainder. of the trans- mission schedules. Unfortunately, much of the data presented on pages 11 and 12, below, on television stations in the provinces cannot be confirmed. Only the channels used by Havana (channels 4 and 6) have been confirmed by monitoring. Studios for CMQ-TV are in the Edificio (adiocentro, Calle "M" between 21st and 23d, Vedado, Havana, with supplemental studios in the Edificio Focsa, Calle "M" and 17th, Vedado, Havana. Studios for CMBF-TV reportedly are at Calles San Miguel-and Mazon, Havana.

Insofar as can be determined, only one station, Havana's CMBQ, has broadcast entertainment programs on FM, and this was more or less a byproduct of the station's attempts to provide a Muzak-type service for businesses and commercial concerns in the Havana area. CMBQ operates a mediumwave transmitter, but it is not known if the FM transmissions have continued. Figure 9. Cuba: Electronics Facilities: Broadcasting Station Schedules and Network Associations The following information supersedes that in Figure 9: Cuban Domestic Radiobroadcasting System Of the 100 domestic radiobroadcasting stations that are estimated presently to be operational in Cuba, approximately 70 percent are mem- bers of one of the five nationwide networks, another 10 percent are in minor provincial networks, and the remaining 20 percent are believed to be unaffiliated low-powered stations presenting programing to suit some specific local need. All stations broadcast on mediumwave (54o to 1,600 kc) only, and all are under the control of ICR. The ICR deputy director for domestic radiobroadcasting is Jose Antonio Cainas Sierra. The five major networks (the Radio Rebelde, Radio CMQ, Radio Progreso, Radio Musical National, and Reloj Nacional), all of which have their studios in Havana, extend from Pinar del Rio in the west to Oriente in the east, covering the entire island. Of considerably less importance are the several minor networks that are composed of a few low-powered transmitters each. These seem to be organized on a provincial basis providing local news and relaying the national and world news from Havana. The most noteworthy are the following: the Circuito Oriental de Radio network, which serves Oriente Province from studios in Santiago de Cuba; the Radio Cadence Agramonte network, serving Camaguey Province from studios in the city of Camaguey; and the Centro Radial Revolucionario network, serving Las Villas Province from studios in Santa Clara. In addition to network stations, there are about 20 low-powered local stations still in operation. Many of these apparently are kept on the S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 S-E-C-R-E-T air only to block a frequency with music so that local listeners will not be able to tune in a foreign station that would otherwise be audible. A case in point is the Havana station CMBQ, which was moved from 1,150 kc to 1,160 kc in order to 'am the anti-Castro transmissions of Radio Americas F on Another Havana station was moved 20 kc to jam Miami s , kc. A Matanzas station was also moved to 1,160 kc for this purpose. Both Havana outlets present nothing but music, while the Matanzas station relays all the transmissions of another station in the same city. Broadcasting stations are not the only means of interference em- ployed against transmissions from abroad. Regular jamming devices have been observed on 710 kc (used by Miami's WGBS), on 6,000 kc (used by Radio Americas' shortwave relay transmitter), and on various short- wave frequencies used by WRUL and the Voice of America for their Spanish- language broadcasts to Latin America. It must be emphasized that accurate information concerning Cuban broadcasting stations is extremely difficult to obtain. The most reliable data have come from monitoring the stations themselves, but this is not always possible because of the long distances involved and the low power of the target transmitters. With this situation in mind, caution should be used in accepting specific details concerning Cuban radio stations as enumerated. Information concerning stations in the provinces, in particular, should be used with reserve.

Cuba: Electronics Facilities: Proposed International Radiobroadcasting Service (Map) The following information updates that on the map: Radio Havana Cuba The Cuban international service, or Radio Havana Cuba, as it is more popularly known, operates from studios on the fifth floor of the Edificio Radio Progreso, Calle Infanta between 25th and 27th, Vedado, Havana. Transmitters are located outside Havana about 2 miles south of the town of Bauta on the east side of the road to Cayo la Rosa on the northern edge of Lake Ariguanabo (approximately 25027' N - 82033' W). Signals are sent from the Edificio Radio Progreso via telephone lines (through the telephone centers at Carlos III and Subirena Streets and at "B" and 19th Streets) to the Havana Libre Hotel (formerly the Havana Hilton) penthouse, from which they are sent via microwave to the trans- mitter site. An emergency studio, tape recorders, and associated equipment are at the transmitter site should the telephone/microwave link from Havana fail. The transmitter site has two 100-kw trans- mitters, one 25/30-kw transmitter, and four 10-kw transmitters, several of which are shared with the Cuban press service, Agencia Prensa Latina. At present, Radio Havana Cuba uses no more than four trans- mitters at one time but, in the past, five transmitters have been observed on the air at the same time. In addition to the regularly scheduled international service, these transmitters have been known to broadcast special programs in order to take advantage of a -particular political situation. For example, when serious disorders broke out in the Dominican Republic late in 1961, broadcasts emanating from a self-styled "clandestine" station, Radio Revolucion del Movimiento Catorce de Junio, called for the overthrow of the Dominican government. Direction-finder (DF) bearings and other technical clues indicated that the Lake Ariguanabo transmitter site was the point of origin. Radio Havana Cuba announces that it makes its facilities available to political groups from other Latin American countries so that they can beam programs back to their homelands. These programs have been observed as follows: the Peruvian Anti-Imperialist Struggle Movement (Movimiento Peruano de la Lucha Anti-Imperialista) beams the La Voz de Peru Revolucionaria program to Peru on Mondays at 0000 - 0015 24T; the Guatemalan Information Committee (Comite Guatemalteco de Informacion) transmits the Mensaje a Guatemala program on Wednesdays and Sundays to Guatemala at 0200 - 0215 GMT; and the Dominican Liberation Movement - 36 - S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 (Movimiento de Liberacion Dominicana) broadcasts the Patria Libre pro- gram to the Dominican Republic on Thursdays and Saturdays at 02:00 - 02:15 GMT. Similar programs were beamed to Nicaragua and Honduras up until September 1962. The Cuban international service is controlled by ICR. The ICR deputy director for international broadcasts is Marcos Behemaras. Radio Havana Cuba's current schedule of transmissions is as follows (frequencies in use often vary considerably from the announced fre- quencies and can also be expected to change according to propagation conditions): In Arabic (4 hours 40 minutes weekly) 2030 - 2110 to the Mediterranean on 15135 kc In English (26 hours 50 minutes weekly) 0300 - 0430 to the Americas on 6015 and 5990 kc 0500 - o6oo to the Americas on 6015 and 5990 kc 2020 - 2140 to Europe on 15270 kc In French.

The Radio :Progreso network is an integral part of Cuba's domestic broadcasting system, but several of its transmitters, the 50-kw Havana transmitter especially, are powerful enough to be heard in the southern US. The Radio Free Dixie program is beamed to Negroes in the southern United States and is prepared and directed by Robert F. Williams, who is sought by the FBI for an alleged kidnapping in Monroe, North Carolina. Williams is assisted by Jo Salas, a female disc jockey, and Carlos (Moore?), a newscaster. Programs consist of jazz recordings, a half-hour commentary by Williams, a few more recordings, and a final newscast of sharply slanted and distorted news items show- ing discrimination and segregation in the US. The Havana transmitter of Radio Progreso operates on 690 kc with repeater or relay stations on the following frequencies: 670, 680, 700, and 1,490 kc. The Friendly Voice of Cuba CMCA, The Friendly Voice of Cuba, broadcasts from Havana in English and Spanish for listeners in the US. The station formerly operated in Spanish only as CMCA Radio Mambi and was noted throughout the hemi- sphere for its rabid gutter-type attacks on high officials in both North and Latin America. Robert F. Williams and other US citizens have appeared as commentators on The Friendly Voice, attacking the "Wall Street monopolists," high-ranking personalities in the US Government, discrimination, segregation, and so on. Listeners are requested to send reception reports to Post Office Box 6951, Havana, Cuba. Studios are believed to be at Paseo de Marti 107, Havana, with a transmitter at Finca San Pablo, Barrio Falcon, Arroyo Arenas, Havana Province. The station operates on 730 kc with a reported power of 10 kw and can be heard well in southern Florida. The station director is Angel Hernandez.

Cuba: Electronics Facilities: Agencia Prensa Latina Radio Press Service (Map) The following information supersedes that on the map: Agencia Prensa Latina is the official news service of the Cuban government. This press service is transmitted by International Morse code and by radioteletype. In addition to the regularly scheduled press transmissions of Prensa Latina, point-to-point dispatches of other press agencies are also transmitted to New York, Prague, Shanghai, Moscow, Montevideo, and Santiago (Chile). Transmitters which can be used for the regular press transmissions of Prensa Latina and for telecommunications services, including press dispatches of other press agencies, are located as follows: 1. Two 25-kw Chinese-built transmitters are located approxi- mately 2 miles south of Wajay (Municipio de Marianao) near the trans- mitting site of the former Union Radio (approximately 22?58'30" N - 82?25 36" w). This reportedly is the transmitting site for all press traffic to Communist Bloc countries. 2. One 25/30-kw transmitter and four 10-kw transmitters are located about 2 miles south of the town of Bauta (Municipio de Bauta) on the northern edge of Lake Ariguanabo (22?57'30" N - 82032'36" w). Some of these transmitters are used also for the international service broadcasts of Radio Havana Cuba. The office of APL is located at Calle 23 No. 201, Vedado, Havana. Contact between the downtown terminal office and the two transmitting sites reportedly is maintained by a VHF microwave link located at the Ministry of Communications. Operational characteristics of radiowave propagation and a possibly limited choice of transmitters preclude the use of regular fixed- frequency broadcasts for Prensa Latina and telecommunications services from Cuba. The following services can usually be found on one or more of the listed frequencies within the transmission hours listed for the service: - 41 - S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Alicia Prensa Latina Transmissions Call Sign Frequency (Kilocycles) Transmission Hours (Greenwich Mean Time) Reception Areas 23357 CMPL (col- 22002 1200 - 2400 Latin America lective 19705 0000 - 0500 call sign) 18768 16:L57 15792 14848 12280 10990 io876 10220 7895 6875 6830 CLA48 17453 1200 - 2200 Prague CLA35 13516 CLA30 11111 CMPL (col- 10220 0500 - 0700 Prague lective 9:L92 call sign) 6830 CLA50 18519 2145 - 0030 Montevideo CLA19 10400 CLA28 10.345 CLA23 .9100 CLA20 7695 CLA 17164 1900 - 1930 (to ships; addressed to "Cuban seamen") Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Point-to-Point Transmissions Call Sign Frequency (Kilocycles) Transmission Hours (Greenwich Mean Time) Reception Areas CMR30 18522 1300 - 0400 New York CMR22 13650 CMR9 10230 CMR8 8100 cMR6 7880 CMR28 5362 CMR4 5115 CLA62 23845 2030 2230 Shanghai CLA60 23355 2030 2230 CLA48 17453 2230 0200 CMV27 16049 2230 1400 CLA37 13712 2230 1400 CLA23 9103 2230 14oo CLA45 16445 1700 2400 CLA38 14620 1500 2400 CLMx45 14415 1500 2400 CML28 10990 2200 0500 CLA27 9900 2200 0500 CLA9 7510 1000 1100 - 43 - S-E-C-R-E-T Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79TO1049AO02600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79T01049A002600030001-9 SECRET NO FOREIGN DISSEM SECRET NO FOREIGN DISSEM Approved For Release 2001/08/31 : CIA-RDP79T01049A002600030001-9 Approved For Release 2001/08/31.?PP79T01049A002600030001-9 12 February 1963 MEMORANDUM FOR: Dissemination Control Branch, DD/CR FROM : Chief, Publications Staff, ORR SUBJECT Transmittal of Material It is requested that the attached copies of CIA/RR EP 63-5, Electronics Facilities in Cuba (Supplement), January 1963, Secret/NO FOREIGN DISSEM, be forwarded as follows: Copy No. Recipient 7 - 22 Navy, Director, ONI, Room 5B659, Pentagon 1 - Capt.
