MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, Foreign Broadcast Information Service
THROUGH Chief, Operations Group
SUBJECT Monthly Report--Key West Bureau--July 1982
The bureau has received permission from NAS commander, STAT
to make the installation of its beverage antenna permanent. STAT
This will give the bureau a permanent antenna for backstop reception
of Central American targets, plus an antenna which, under certain
conditions, is better than our other antennas for reception of certain
Cuban frequencies. In addition, this permanent installation increases
our presence in the antenna field through which the Navy had indicated
an interest in building a road extension, thus we are reducing the
likelihood of such construction.
A. Monitorial/Editorial
In response to a consumer request the bureau provided detailed
evaluation of Radio Free Grenada, including program summaries of news
programs.
Fidel Castro let everyone down on this 26 July, the anniversary of
the attack on the Moncada barracks, speaking for only 2 hours and 19
minutes and using only a very small portion of that time for an attack
on Yankee imperialism.
B. Communications
A serious line outage in Texas resulted in loss of NOTIMEX
Press Agency for over 2 days. NOTIMEX reception has now returned to
normal. Reception of all other coverage is normal for this time of
the year.
C. Technical
Bureau received 1 Collins 651S-1A receiver.
A three receiver cruiser/ cruising monitor training position
was constructed through the installation of three coax switches--two
Bird switches, one 8-position "Matrix" antenna switch with push-button
control--providing access to all bureau mediumwave and shortwave an-
tennas and one QRL-2B Interference Supressor. Onereceiver, the antenna
selector switches and the QRL are housed in a portable table mounting
rack. The rack forms the centerpiece of this new position and can be
easily moved to the future cruising room after the expansion of the
bureau.

The logical organization and labels on this new cruising
center also make it readily usable by the monitor/editors for their
own cruising efforts.
A. Personnel
a Panamanian monitor, completed a 2-month STAT
TDY on July an a Paraguayan monitor, STAT
arrived on 24 July to begin her own TDY.
Sincerely yours,
STAT
