COLK, Camaguey (Cuba) on 3462m., 8.655 me/s, to which the announcer. couples CMJK, the medium-wave station, will often be heard using the slogan: "La Voz del Camagueyan," but occasionally, when boosting the qualities of a U.S.A. receiver, ìn-forms you that you are listening to "Radio Zenith." Three chimes and, sometimes, a bugle call with the closing-down melody "Over the Waves" will help you to identify the transmitter. Address—P.O. Box 64, or direct to Lo Compania Cubana Nacional de Radio (S.A), Finlay, 3, Camaguey, Cuba.
