US embassy cable - 05CARACAS621

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (U) This cable updates previous reporting regarding USG 
efforts to eliminate potentially dangerous radio 
transmissions by the Venezuelan Navy on frequencies reserved 
for aeronautical stations. 
 
2. (U) Following our demarche to Layla Macc Adan, Director of 
International Relations of CONATEL, the GOV's national 
telecommunications commission (Ref. A), post received an 
e-mail from Macc Adan on the issue.  According to Macc Adan, 
CONATEL had investigated the issue and taken "corrective 
measures" to end the transmissions in question.  Post was 
also provided with a copy of a letter that was sent from 
CONATEL Director General, Alvin Pereira, to the FCC and the 
ITU on February 21 in which he relayed the same information 
regarding the resolution to the issue. 
 
3. (U) Post does not expect to receive any further 
communication from the GOV on this issue.  Department is 
requested to advise post if interference has in fact ceased.
