Guantanamo.- The Generation 3Punto0 and a representation of the CMKS Radio Station’s staff placed flowers at the tomb of the founder Cándido Savón Suárez Cándido Savón. They reaffirmed that 87 years after the work of this extraordinary electronics engineer is still admired and bearing fruit.
The youngest workers of the CMKS Radio Station also prepare the third edition of the Punto Cero Youth Radio Event, from June 24 to 28 in Guantanamo as part of the program for celebrating the anniversary.
Sponsored by the Director of Radio and Audiovisual Section of the Hermanos Saíz Association in the province, the meeting aims to reflect from theory and practice on the approach of the media agenda to the public agenda, to inform, educate and entertain, and also to the feedback between the two agendas.
In 1935, a period of national expansion of the radio broadcast, the electronics engineer Cándido Savón Suárez (third from left to right in the photo) was determined to found a radio station. The primary experiments took place at his home, located in Luz Caballero and the 3 South, in Guantanamo City, an illusion supported by technical assistant of the radio amateurs Miguel Ángel Digournay, Enrique Lescaille and Manolo Bayo Trueba, who became his collaborator.
At that time, the young man has a device of only 50 watts; build another 100, seeking with this replacement a reach of at least 2 or 3 hours on air and later broadcasted in two sessions from 9 am to 12 noon with vinyl records, from 5 pm to 9 pm. Later they incorporated live soloists and orchestras that were acclaimed by the public in the style of the rest of the radio station in the nation.
