Description:
CUBAN INTERFERENCE

THE STA EXTENSION IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MITIGATING CUBAN INTERFERENCE TO WINK'S NIGHTTIME SIGNAL. SPECIFICALLY, THE STATION'S ORIGINAL CUBAN STA WAS GRANTED JANUARY 25, 1989 FOR OPERATION OF WINK WITH A POWER LEVEL OF 2.2 KILOWATTS DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS TO OVERCOME CONTINUING SKYWAVE INTERFERENCE FROM A CUBAN FACILITY OPERATING ON 1200 KHZ. AS DEMONSTRATED IN THE ATTACHED STATEMENT OF JAMES M. JOHNSON, THE FACTS JUSTIFYING THE ORIGINAL STA CONTINUE.
