Cuba to provide parts for radio hams

According the Cuban news service CAN, Cuba's Ministry of Informatics and Communications will soon start providing ham radio operators with the components and parts for their equipment. This, from stock that had been
left idle for some time.

Pedro Rodriguez, president of the Cuban Amateur Radio Federation told the press that the first 600 units are ready for delivery. He says that by using them, his nation's ham radio community will be able to assemble new stations or update those they already have.

But that's not all. During the recently concluded 8th Cuban Ham Radio Federation Congress, a prototype of a domestically designed transceiver was shown. With the brand name 'Caiguaran', the gear was designed by several specialists and will be manufactured at one of the Ministry of Informatics factories.

José Tanquero is one of the hams that worked on the creation of the radio. He told the news service that it runs 20 watts out on 160 meters which it's the legal for Cuban Third Category ham radio license holders. By adding modules both 80 and 40 meters can be covered as well.

The Cuban Amateur Radio Federation has over 5500 members many of whom are involved in both severe weather watch and emergency communications operations.
