IBB Greenville testing new audio processor

The IBB transmitting station near Greenville, North Carolina, has installed and is evaluating a new Orban model 9300 Digital Optimod-AM audio processor ("delivers louder, cleaner, brighter, FM-like audio with an open, fatigue-free quality that attracts listeners and holds them").

Greenville "would be very interested in any listener comments regarding fidelity and the ability to overcome less than ideal propagation while using the new audio processor."

Of course, co-channel noise from Cuba is another consideration.

The new audio processor is on transmitter GB-5, with this schedule:

UTC            kHz    Content
0400-0700     7405    Radio Martí
1230-1300     9610    Vatican Radio
1400-2000    13820    Radio Martí


You can send reports to the VOA Radiogram email address: radiogram (at) voanews.com, and I will forward them to Greenville.
