Hi Everybody,
Last week I heard Radio Nacional de Venezuela on 6060 Khz. regularly with English talks on the political developments in Venezuela by a women. The broadcast starts at 1105 UTC and continues until 1117 UTC when it changes over to Spanish broadcasts.The transmitter is in Cuba. But as per the below communique posted on the internet site of Radio Nacional they have begun the construction of their own transmitters located in Venezuela for their internacional programs which is expected to be ready within the next 18 months.

The Hiring commission of the Ministry of Popular Power for Communication and Information (Minci) and the commission of the Radio Nacional de Venezuela circuit (RNV), gave answers to the concerns of the representatives who participated this Tuesday in the open competition for the work of construction if the Shortwave Center Building for the Autonomous Service Radio Nacional de Venezuela, located in Calabozo, Guarico state. Engineer Luis Alfredo Palacios, an adviser to the RNV circuit, explained the importance of this infrastructure which will propagate the signal and programming of Radio Nacional de Venezuela throughout the American Continent.  "At this time, the International Channel's programming is produced in the RNV's studios and transmitted from the shortwave station of the Republic of Cuba by an agreement signed between the two countries," reported Palacios.  He also stressed that the goal of this project is to build a shortwave station of our own "so that in the near future, we believe that time will be a maximum of 18 months, we can begin to make international broadcasts from this centre."  Palacios also stressed that the project of this shortwave station consists of two phases. The first is expected to be completed in the next 18 months and to cover only the northern hemisphere, and the second would lasts an additional year, with which will be achieved the re-broadcasting of the programming of Radio Nacional de Venezuela throughout Latin America.  Finally, engineer Luis Alfredo Palacios said that Guarico state is a strategic location for the installation of the transmitter antennas because of the place it geographically occupies, at the heart of the country, meaning that there will be an excellent coverage and spreading of the signal of the RNV circuit towards any country in the Americas.
