Media Network by Andy Sennitt February 14, 2008

A new shortwave transmitting station is now under construction for the International Service of Radio Nacional de Venezuela, Antena Internacional*.The new installation will include a 50 kW transmitter to be operated on the60 metre Tropical Band, and five 100 KW shortwave transmitters to beoperated with several antenna arrays.The new transmitting station is located in the State of Guárico, and theantenna systems will include several high gain curtain arrays and alsoquadrant type omnidirectional antennas for short and medium range coverage.The new transmitters are of the pulse step modulation type, and veryefficient from the point of view of energy conversion, that is that they arecapable of producing a 100 percent modulated signal with much lesselectricity than what is required for a high level plated modulatedtransmitter.The Radio Nacional de Venezuela engineering department is in charge of theproject and it is expected that the first transmitter may be on the airpretty soon. The new Venezuelan international broadcasting facility is goingto be one of the most modern and energy efficient installations in theAmericas, and its antenna systems were designed with coverage of theAmericas as the prime target area, but as expected, it may be heard aroundthe world when propagation conditions are good.(Source: Arnie Coro, RHC DXers Unlimited via DX Listening Digest)* Antena Internacional (also known as Canal Internacional) currently leases shortwave airtime from Radio Habana, Cuba.http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/new-sw-station-for-venezuelas-antena-internacional
