Nope.

And it's NOT VOA. Radio Martí is a sister subagency to VOA under IBB. 
Studio is in Miami. Uses IBB/VOA transmitters and pays for power and 
personnel.

Sad we lost it. One of the younger site assistant supervisors of VOA-1178 
Okinawa became my transmitter site supervisor at Greenville and tried his 
best to get me to quit. He's dead now (not my doing) and so I have no 
further use for him. About not being to hear it in Naga??probably an 
exaggeration.
In the Philippines, I could always hear VOA-1140 anywhere I went on Luzon 
while it was on its Viêt Nam pattern.
