North America continent of 1965 built-up and 70ties - the Cuban numbers 
station installations have refurbished some 10 years ago, when Arnaldo 
also introduced the leisure music program 'Radio Progreso' on 4765 kHz 
in 60 meterband nightly, 50 kW TX of power.
HM01 antennas pattern may different, compared to Bauta NON-Directional
