In this series of three articles, we have beer. rela ting the views
of nine outstanding collectors of ,'3Le--on why they seek verifications
and now they haadle them. In this concluding article we finish the
rund own:
MinLIN "I don't know how many - .15Ls I have. I count by station.
I have from 35 .-
.1 atations in 212 countries. I have a number of ...1).3Le
also from the same station; for example, I try to 3et each one issued by
iiC.1 5.
also, I really have two collections--( 1) 3Ls from all countries, and
(2) ,5Ls from religious broadcasters which are duplicated in 11o. 1 for the
most part.
sPecial ties : (A) Pennants—from 21 stations in e5 codn tries.
(P) Latin America, and (:) Religious broadcasters.
that cart do 1. ,51s 'lay in my DI life? I have them organized in such a
1
way that Its easy to find what I'm lookinz for. rhey re in 21 looseleaf
note books by cortinent. If I want to see an African :,SL, I look in my black
note book (sorry, South Africa: ) where countries are arranged alphabetically.
I refer to the QSLs occastonally as well as show them to others once
in awhile. L -ndoubtedly, be showing some of them to our new minis ter as
he scent a summer wi th t'ICJC and te interested in radio as a missionary
outreach.
'jnfortuna tely, I don't have all ny verifications In books yet. In the
books I also have postal cards, photos and stamps I have received from
station pe rsonnel. :qe pennants are in seiarate books.
If we were to leave Rillsdale, there 's no flues tion bu t what I'd take
my ;1Le al onz. :he 31.11y .:,rahact :enter at Idhea ton Jolleze. IllInois, has
expressed interest in my religious collection; therefore, when no lonerI
have a need for it, It will go there. :enter personnel even eues ted that
I might donate it before death 30 that I might see how It was :sed there.
I've made no arrangement for my zeneral collection. :here's more work
that needs to be done , on both. I don't know whether I'll set it lone before
I retire or not—as 1. don't know when I' ll retire.
I also have ;SLx from 325 1M stations In 29 countries."
Paget
• My Q3Ls are oreanized in notebooks, put into clear 'cages to allow
viawinz of both sides. : have a book for each continent and then separate
books for each latin country, as that remains my main area of concentration.
I look at my QSLs neriodically throughout a year. They brine back fond
memories of how and when I finally heard that station. More than any
Particular, they remind me of when I heard a station.
I sometimes look at them when I need a pick-me-up in a down period of
the hobby. Sometimes I look at them to get me started on follow -uns once
again. But they still remain a friendly reminder of my involvement in
different stages of this hobby. It is interesting to look at my ZSLe and
think of the early lays when I scratched out some details in English to a
station, and then, after so many years, think of the many renorts and things
I sent out to a latin, only to finally receive a verification letter after
two or three more years.
I suopose the main ooint here is that :,SLs, perhaps more than anything
else in this hobby, are and remain a oersonal achievement. A personal
reminder. An incentive to do more. Plus, a SL collection serves as an
enticement to continue during periods of inactivity in the hobby.
A number of people have seen my collection, but I do not make it it uttnt,
to bring it to conventions or oPenly talk about it. again, It remains
personal to me.
that would I lo with it? dell, I hone that my son gets involved in
DXing someday and I might be able to pass it along to him as a reminder of
earlier stations and times, a kind of historical oersoective of the radio
scene.
But more than anything, I'm glad that I have it to look back upon.
It serves as a record of my DI involvement. Logs and tamed :Ds are
nice, but nothinz takes the olace of that card, or letter and hand painted
oennant from Radio Andina. ZSIs are the Icing on the cake, and they taste
very, very sweet to this =fr."
JOHN CiMPBELL: "Yes, QSLs come out for recollection or discussion, usually
with friends interested in DX or asnects -of radio and communications. This
doesn't happen very often at present ;due to my workload), but maybe things
will be more relaxed in another 20 years or so.
To helo recollections of reception etc. and the ,articular nleasure
they give, I store ';',3Ls in albums sold in Surone to hold first-day covers
in frequency order; it helps me remember the sources of R. which have made
the DX receptions difficult.
?or disposal of :biLs via a will, I'll try to find a good museum with
interests in collections devoted to radio. Best such examoles I've seen
so far are in Mew Zealand, out that's rather far away at present.
Total number of ZSLs must be about 1600, about 7 •Dt shortwave and the
rest mostly medium wave. I don't try to specialize but I seem to have quite
a few :131,s from Earouean SW pirates. Other areas where the collection is
well develooed are Indonesia and oolitical clandestines. Sore noint: I've
reported 6 nirates from outside Mann America out only three have
reolied. Corresoonding rate for European 'unofficial' stations is at least
96%."

Some sort of a central, permanent repository snoald be established
where at least one of each type of card and co=emorative card when a

When one cannot hear a new country, how does one get any kind of

as nany domee'lo stations as you can hear--the Ohinese and Australian

(make sure the station wants reports:). adventist florid Radio offers a

It's 24 spaces total and it took about 2= years to complete, so it's not as
easy as it might seem. The challenge of propagation on that One is almost
ancelievable.

TRANSMITE DeSDE MORNE El SALVADOR. &AMU NTERNACONAL DE •Orms. 7nor.
"Revolution or death we will conquer" are words that should not be taken in
a glib manner. These defiant words have probably been uttered by many revo-
lutionaries throughout history. :et, never have they stood so boldly true as
they do today. El Salvador. El Salvador, a densely populated nation of
4.8 million, has staggered through four trying years of violence, terror, &
murder! The bloody civil war has claimed upwards of 30,000 lives and, as yet,
there is no end '.11 sight. As happens in this day and age, guerrilla revolu-
tion and counterrevolution is invariably accompanied by a staunch platform of
political rhetoric via clandestine radio broadcasting. It is in this light
that we take a closer look at developments in the El Salvador underground.
Since the revolir:ion in El Salvador began in the late 1970s, there have been
several rebel shortwave radio stations on the air. These include! Radio Lib-
eraci6n, Radio Venceremos, Radio Farabundo Martí, Radio Unidad, and Radio
Guazapa. All of ::hese station have 'flown' generally under the banner of the
FMLN - frente Farabundo Marti para Liberaci6n Nacional (Farabundo Martí front
for National LiMration).
Page rs-
Although the FMLN oversees the activities of the rebel groups and attempts to
keep them unified, these groups have diverse political ambitions and often
run into conflict with one another.
The largest and most radical of the guerrilla groups comprising the FMLN is
the FPL - Fuerzas Populares de Liberaci6n (Popular Liberation Forces). The
FPL was founded in 1969 by Silv=ao=yetano Carpio after he split with the
Salvadoran Communist Party over ideological differences. The 63 year old
Cayetano. usually known by his nom-de-guerre 'Márcial', has often been re-
ferred to as the 'grand old man" of the revolution. Throughout the civil war
the FPL has been very active battling govt. troops in Chalatenango Department
and other areas. In January 1982 the FPL introduced their own clandestine
radio station in the form of Radio Farabundo Marti. They carefully timed
their broadcasts to follow the sign-off of Radio Venceremos, so as not to
appear as competition. The sporadic R. Farabundo Martí has been jammed merci-
lessly by the "music' jammer, probably because their Marxist doctrine is far
more radical than even the FMLNI In April 1983 the FPL was dealt a severe and
damaging setback when their second-in-command Melida Anaya Montez, usually
known on-the-air by her pseudonym 'Comandante Ana Marra', was assassinated by
fellow FPL members. Shortly thereafter FPL leader Gayetano, despondent over
the death of Ana Marra, reportedly committed suicide. The FPL is now headed
by 'Salvador Guerra' (an obvious pseudonym).
The second largest guerrilla force in the FMLN is the ERP - Ejrcito Revolu-
cionario del Pueblo (Revolutionary Army of the People). The ERP. formed
a dispute —Witn7— nyetano's ?PL, is commanded by 31 year old Joaqurn Villa-
lobos. The ERP is said to operate mainly in Morazén since the outbreak of the
civil war.
The third largest guerrilla force in the FMLN is the FARN - Fuerzas Armadas
de Resistencia Nacional (Armed Forces of National Resistance). FARN.
nrmed in 197S inêir— g- dispute within the ERP, is commanded by the Costa Rica
born Eduardo Sancho Caste-Leda, known better by his nom-de-guerre Fermín Cien-
fuegos. The FARM is said to operate widely in Guscatlin Department, especial-
ly around the Guazapa volcano. This leads to speculation that the FARN is be-
hind the latest anti-junta radio station to hit the airwaves. Radio Guazapa
"La Voz de Cuscatlén" appeared in March 1983 varying between 98 20 -9850 kHz at
*0130, and also announcing a *1830 broadcast.
The fourth guerrilla group in the FMLN is the Salvadoran Communist Party it-
self. A relative newcomer to the fighting, the Party finally joined in the
fray in 1979 with a small group of guerrillas known as the FAL - Fuerzas
Armadas de Liberacign (Armed Forces of Liberation). The Salvadoran Communist
Party is —red777=Fitary general (since 1972) Shafick Jorge Handal, son of
Palestinian immigrants. Handal is said to have ties to Palestine Liberation
Organization terrorist Yasser Arafat, and is active in the purchase of arms
for the FMLN.
The last of the major Marxist groups comprising the FMLN is also the most
furtive and least known organization. The FRIC - Partido Revolucionario de
los Trabajadores Centroamericanos (Central American Workers' Revolutionary
Party) was formed in 1975 by the secretive Roberto Roca. It is speculated
that Roca's ?RTC is responsible for guerrilla activity in the swampy south-
eastern Usulutgn Department. Roca is believed to side with Guillermo Ungo
of the FDR in believing that a negociated settlement for peace in Si Salva-
dor is a necessity in order to avoid massive intervention by U.S. military
forces.
The last of the FMLN clandestine radio stations is/was Radio Unidad, a sta-
tion that very little is known about. To my knowledge Radio Unidad has never
been positively reported by North American :Jens. The BBC Monitoring Service
came out with several reports that Radio Unidad was heard in January 1982 on
7000 kHz, claiming to be broadcasting from Usulutgn. It was never ascertained
as to whether R. Unidad was a legitimate FMLN station, or perhaps a disinfor-
mationtransmission from an anti-FMLN source. In 1982 there were some interes-
ting reports of a station called R. Orientacign or Reorientacien, which sur-
faced briefly to confuse listeners of R. Venceremcel...And there you have it,
the current clandestine scene in El Salvador. I've thrown all these names at
you, the readers, not to confuse you but to hopefully help you in listening
to the amazing world of clandestine radio. So, as they say on R. Venceremos.

Dear Ye Ed:
Page 7
The second developement that threw me was this buis miens
of contributing; your editorial in the March issue was throughly
repugnant and highly offensive in tone. If your object was to
promote discussion and contribution, there are a lot better
ways to do it than insult and deride the membership into action.
Speaking_u_ a contributor, the whole thing turned me off so
badly that I just may not contribute another thing at all. I
know for sure that if I was a beginner and read that article,
I'd never want anything more to do with NASWA at all.As a
matter of fact, I rather agree with Kathleen Eaves and Richard
Tutt as they expressed themselves in the last issue--except that
I may not wait for my subscription to expire, I may resign if
I don't cool down first!
Finally, let's have no more comments about how 'easy' a
dx catch was for the person who logged it; I an speaking of
such things that appear from time to time in the ER sections,
such as, " station XYZ hrd 1200-1400: really an easy
catch now." Public ego trips like this only serve to denigrate
the beginner's feelings should HE have made the same logging;
remember, one man's easy catch is another man's DX. Let's have
some mercy on the new kids, O.K.? *
In conclusion, it seems to me that NASWA has gone from
being a bastion of unity and friendship to a strutting and
preening ground for a few little tin DX gods, and I don't like
it one bit; in any case, I hcpe somebody in the organization
sees fit to pull up the leash on this kind of thing, and
fast, too, or you're going to find yourself about $33, 000 short
next year. "Unity and Friendship" supposedly is the motto;
egocentric posturing can only divide the membership and
contribute to.MASWA's downfall.
Thanks for the opportunity to let ma blow off mz mouth.
Lin Robertson/KA6MPU
Mr. Robertson's comments were most Intereeting. Indeed, all the responses
to John's editorial were equally fascinating, giving me cause to think....
which, if you haven't guessed, is the reason "It Sounds To Me" exists. For
those of you who were offended by John's remarks 1 I'm sorry. ?or those who
found the incentive to report and contribute, we re hanny to have you:
If Mr. Robertson will forgive the rumination, I can assu re him that "'Jnitv
and Friendship" is alive and well, though clearly taking a beating these
past few years. It's true, some take the hobby more sert ously than others.
Some will rise virtually every morning for a shot at Rad to Pampas In Peru,
and for others it may mean an occasional listen to Deuts che Welle and a
quick glance at PRENDX. We need everybody, but not just for financial
solvency.
Yet, it's not that wide range of experience and Interest levels that noses
a threat to NASWA. It's the petty bickering, the back stabbing, the Ralph
Jensen's, the threats of legal action, the bogus "National union of Radio
DXers", editors trying to get the "last word" ad nauseum. :f you haven t
gotten the point, it's that tedious, on-going nonsense that is the hobby's
least attractive feature.
I'm finding the continued attacks on serious DIers equally nuzzling. I've
learned an awful lot from these folks and they continually contribute and
support IISWA, even when it no longer is their single best source of DX
information. Let's relax a little and enjoy ourselves... .and send a card
of thanks to Bill Oliver for doing a job that usually goes without thanks.

Last month we constructed the loop itself, BUT, as some of you have noted. I
did not mention how the variable capacitor is affixed. Hah! This has to do
with continuing construction on the amplifier, which we will discuss here.
The FET amplifier used here is a push-pull design allowing for ample increase
in gain and quiet response. All the small parts are readily available, and
actual construction should be easy for the modest hobbyist.
our
Next month we will complete the unit by constructing a power supply for it.
In the meanwhile, you can use a 9V battery, or a wall transformer for 12V.
WANTED: Programs in basic, particularly for the 7/C-20 computer, that are
useful in pursuits of short wave listening and DXing. Perhaps some member
has constructed a loggings program they would be willing to share.

CAR HEADLIGHT REMINDER: While this has no relationship to shortwave, it is
useful for the tinkering hobbyist. The time and slight expense wasted on
a drained car battery could be better devoted to °Xing...justification. You
need merely a small 12V buzzer. Wire it in to your headlight switch, one
lead to low-beam wire, the other lead to the oil pressure switch on the
engine block. When the car is running, headlights ON, the pressure switch
is open. .no buzz. Turn off the engine, no pressure, switch closes, buzzer
sounds reminding you the headlights are being powered. Turn off lights also
cuts power to buzzer. Voila. And GM wants$27.00 for such a gadget installed.

New York: " I own a DX-302, and use a longwire antenna. Within two miles
are 10 50KW AM, and 20 100KW FM stations. I have images all over the en-
tire spectrum. What can I do? " Good grief! Let's assume that all the
stations have met their FCC obligations to suppress images. The remaining
problem MUST lie within the less-than-desirable circuitry of the DX-302.
Reduce the length of your antenna dramatically...only a few feet, say 10.
Then construct a series-type antenna tuner. This will resonate your short
antenna sharply, only for the band of frequencies you listen to on short
wave. Alas, if the problem IS at the transmitter, it could be that the sig-
nals come in on such unsuspect things as your power line.
New York: "My R-70 is everything I ever wanted. However, I note that the
digital display 'pops' unexplainably and it doesn't seem to have anything
to do with band- changes eir-biée-diglte-1.-strpe-up er -down- in frequency. Do
I have a defective receiver?" Not likely. The 'pops' you noted probably
are dueto the switching, inherent in the gas-discharge segments of the
readout. Notice that, for instance that the digit 1 is comprised of two
lighted segments. If you tune down, the next digit to light would be zero,
comprised of 3ix lighted segments... .that is, a sudden increase of four
more. If you went from zero to 1 again, the additional four segments would
just as suddenly extinguish. Such switching does cause pops. Better buf-
fering would alleviate or eliminate this minor nuisance, but it doesn't
create any problems. I noticed it too, but it doesn't bother me.
WHICH WAY TO PUT THE BATTERIES IN? . Sooner or later we all do it insert
the batteries incorrectly. It usually
means soon dead batteries, corroded terminals, and maybe damaged circuits.

Update on RA xmtr sites: Delwin. Final stage of $10 million restoration now in progress.
First work completed was rebuilding 301 9 log periodic in 1979. Second one at 340 9 salvaged '
in 1981, but since dismantled to allow conscription of new curtains. First stage of general
works completed Nov 81 w/repair of submarine power cables across Darwin Harbour, and re-
establishment of power supply. By June 1982, bldgs restored w/addl cyclone protexion and
harbour jetty rebuilt. Final stage, costing $3.8 million, involves erexion of seven TCI-611
curtain antennas. Work already started on foundations, and 8 masts should be in place be-
fore July. Ants will then be hung progressively during remainder of dry season. After test
ing, stn should be ready for use in Late 1983 or early 84 w/original three 1969 Collins 250
kW xmtrs, and possibly one addl unit, IBA later.
ShelapaItie, In 1982/83 budget, $1.1 million was provided for purchase of four 100 kW
xmtrs. Two are currently being installed and tested, while others due later this year. Stn
also has two 1975 Harris 100 kW, three RCA 50s, and two S'I'C 10 kW. One of the 50s was pur-
chased in 1956, other two rebuilt in 1969/70 from original 1944 zmtrs. These are in excel-
lent condition, no plan to replace them. Ant farm comprises 31 one-band curtains and three
rhombics. From 1984, stn'll mainly carry pyre to Pac, NZ, NAm, Eu (long path) and possibly
some domestic services.
Otte' silea. For 198 3 /84, Dept of Comms'll be seeking from Parliament at least $4 million
for other works, involving Carnarvon and Perth (Western Australia), Alice Springs, Tennant
Creek and Katherine (Northern Territory), as well as possibly some east coast sites. The

The real treat was my first audition of VODK at huge level on 17533 t/in 0910-0956* over-
modulated badly. Mc // found on 16, 19, 25, 31m, and this contrary to published B8CMS sked.
Clear ID 0956. Who can doubt the Chinese origin of this on the longtime oddball RR fg of
17533, also used by such institutions as Reversed Russian, aided by Beijingesgue xx56*?
Would like to get another crack at this just prior to s/on; if strong and as °vertex' as this
morn [8/5], would likely hear some of that ZRGD time-beep crossmod so easily hrd on the
17855 15520 11900 outlets--aorta like hearing R Habana audio behind numbers stns. (Newkirk)
VODK, hostile to present Cambodian regime and to Viet involvement in Cambodia, ancd that
'evening' bc'd be retimed from 1200-1300 to 1300-1400 as from 25/4, on 11675 (WBI 28/4) Had
ascertained 11675 VODK 1356* before SWID [bc of above item]; 14/5 carrier didn't drop before
*1400 R Beijing in SCAs Lang, so list under CHINA now on (David P Newkirk, Eeattle WA, 17/5)
R Tropical 7296 1à at 0815, fair in FR 4 EG w/accented DJ w/pops and IDs. Reckoned they were
xmiting from Marshall Is., dedications to "all those at the Marshall Is. Jump Club in down-
town Majuro". Only listened to 0830, mod a little rough and DJ spoke good FR (Geoff Cosier,
Vic., DX.P. UXers Calling April) This stn knows an awful lot about what's going on in the NZ
DX scene, so draw your own conclusions (John Campbell, UKOGBANI, RNMN)
Sort'ng out the Central Americans The three Costa Rican USB xmtrs are apparently shared by
6 diff stns, whose skeds seem to correlate: Xmtr No. 1 used cnly by LV de Sandino, No. 2 by
LV de Mic Libre 4 R 15 de Sept, No. 3 by Music Jammer, R Miskus and LV de la Libertad. Mx
jammer against R Venceremos noted on 6925v w/LAm mx 0050-0102* 20/4 GMT; on 6210v at 0300-
0336* 21/4 (Ernie Bear, Ont, 9/5) Above comments partly based on media reports that 3 of the
xmtrs are in Costa Rica. However, at 0500 13/5, at least III diff xmtrs operating simultan-
eously: R 15 de Sept on 7000, 6900, 6200 4 5565; LV de Sandino on 6220 to 0507*, & LV de Ric
Libre on 5770 to 0504*. Four of them were USB: 6900, 6220, 5200, 5770; two DSB: 7000 & 5565.
All 4 xmtrs of R 15 de Sept are probably in Honduras, also used by R Miskus & posàibly LV de
La Libertad (Ernie lehr, 13/5)
LV de la Libertad 6f4 I tuned in to a jammer free eland w/powerhouse sig at 0219, M ancr in
SP, clearly anti-Sandinista, then W w/crystal clear ID as "LV de la Libertad". S/off anthem
at 0222; again D227-0237, same anthem at s/on, W in SP. 2nd xmsn seemed repeat of first;
polished. Called 3h who put fa at 6890 which I later confirmed (Chris Bagge, Spfld MA)
Ranks of anti-Sand beers swelled to five 'a/recent appearance of LV de la Lib on 6890/6895
around 0213-0235. Both John Herkimer 4 Dave Crawford have hrd this stn transmitting coded
mensajes! Dave sends xcript of 15/4 bc: "Llamado para bandera. Resultados positivos. Man-
tén la ?osicidn durance la duracibn de la luna. Observa bien cómo las estrellas. El
mando está pendido. Dios, patria y libertad. Les habló Juan Carlos." John also hrd moots of
Page 27
Comandante Juan Carlos. It seems that J.C. is actually the nom-de-guerre of Pedro Ortega, a
wealthy Nic businessman who prospered during Somoza years. He now commands anti-Sand exile
group Ejército Nacional de Liberación. ENL is made up of Somocistas in. Honduras. Early 198
2 it was thot there might be merger of ENL with Unión Democrática Nicaragilense, headed by
the Chamorro bros. (both former Sandinista commanders). Proposed merger seemed to fall thru
because UDN leadership still felt too such animosity to ENL Somocistas. UDN later merged w/
15 de Septiembre group to form Fuerza Democrática NicaragUense coalition. Not known yet whe-
ther LV de la Lib has awn xmtr or shares time w/R15. Recent Miami Herald articles hint at
possible wide-based anti-Sand coalition, combining Rond groups w/ARDE/FRS/MDN people in CR!
(Steve Reinstein, DXSF 18/5) LV de la Libertad noted on 7000 25/4 w/prayer and 0355*, 1/5
to 0342*, but at 0330 2/5, R 15 de Septiembre was on this same fq; more recently the fq has
been heavily jammed (SWNS) Also see previous page
LV de Sanding hrd in EG 30/3 t/in 0047-0052 on apx 6220, fair sig, M ancr's shouting hard
to understand; again 6/4 0436-0444 on 6220. Gave sked as 10 pm and 5 am on 6220; stn is
member of ARDE; at one point asked twice "Who is the turtle?" (Chris Bagge, MA) see prev p.
LV de Nicaragua Independiente was the way the 5565 stn kept [Ding 28/3 0345, badly jammed,
seems to be R 15 de Sept; same ID hrd on 6511 0600 28/3. However on 12/3 pgming on 6511 was
not // 15 de Sept on 7000 (Zeller, OH, ASW1C)
R Miskus 5-6/4 2354-0217+ on 6965, unusually long bc but same pgm of campesino tunes and
anti-Sandinista propaganda. Lots of SP & local langs but no SG at all tho t did tune out
periodically. Terrible audio (Steve Reinstein, FL, DKSF) 6/4 0200 on 6965, back again after
apparent absence w/usual intolerable campesino mx, little comment; G lad. on RCUSB (Crawford,
DXSF) Traced again 16/4; acmes 19/4 say ;Iced twice daily, at 1900 & 2200, on 6965. Describes
self as "the voice of dignity of the Miskitos, Sumos and Ramas" and declares "it will never
be silent as long as Sandino -Communism exists in Nicaragua". 3es in Miskito & SP, but a5-min
EC segment 1935-1940 19/4 (WBI 28/4) Continues such stronger than R. 15. 5/1 on 6965, 2203
-2255* powerhouse level * stable on fq, no QSY, but strong OC het 400 Hz higher. Miskus also
uses USB & carrier only (Steve Reinstein, FL, DXSF) & see previous page
Venceremos 7040, 23/4 1220 strong & clear in SP, stirring mm (Alan Doyle, Peter Bunn,
Mick Ogrizek, Bob Padula at Lorne Vic, ADXN) Ancd during 0230 bc 5/5 it was again on FM 97
San Salvador area daily 0230 from "heroic Guazapa hill"; confirmed from 0230 4/5 (WBI 12/5)
R Guazapa, 9850, 29/3 *0132-0200* quite strong & stabilized on fq w/no jamming; usual FMLN
rhetoric & ID as LV de Cuscatlán, many manta of Semana Santa, string of FIMIN ax bulletins;
said boa from the "frente central Hector Ramfrez" on Guazapa volcano (Reinstein & Wilkner,
DXSF) 10/4 on 9820v 0136-0201*, only ID was hrd at 0200, pro -Nie speech, flancs of El Sal &

we've just bought and the thought of an outdoor antenna for the first time since 1970! It's
easy to get away from radio for the summer and very tempting, too. But don't do it. There's
lots of good stuff to be heard and with a little patience you'll be able to hear it. Summer
doesn't have to be a radio vacation!

Last time we'd just started into John Herkimer's survey of Venezuelan b'casting activity.
Rather than try to pick up where ve left off, I think that we'll print the beginning as
well so that non-Mid-Monthers can have a full survey, too.

NASWA UPDATE/June 1983 2
we'll continue with this next time. As used above, the abbreviacion'v/s" means verification
signature, teat is, the person signing the QSL card of verification. The listings at the
outset of each entry are the city and etate of the station. As you'll see next time, these
are important in working toward the NASWA award for Venezuelan DX.
About all from here for now. Am still looking for scan reporters. If you're interested
drop ma a note. Tnx.

Editorial....Editorial....Editorial....Editorial....Editorial....Editorial....Editorial....
I'm fairly certain that when the compiler of another FrenDX column last month chose to
cast aspersions at both my profession and myself, it was done with the expectation that
I'd roar, in print, like a lion that's just been bitten by a gnat, and thus continue the
kind of childish drivel that we've seen all too often in the past; I'm afraid that I'm
going to be a disappointment. When staff disagree, they have private channels to gain
redress at their disposal, and that is the course I shall take. One of the cardinal
unwritten rules of this magazine is that you do NOT take pot shots at people in print,
certainly not others on the staff; I find such things repugnant and unethical, and regret
that my sentiments are not shared by the entire staff of FrenDX.
However, lest any of you get the wrong impression of the profession due to someone else's
misconceptions, let me simply state, as a chemist, that chemists do not want things
packaged away in little phials; all that chemists, scientists, clear-thinking people in
general really want is ta have things presented in a clear, straightforward, logical
manner. That is what I have tried to do with this column, and that is what all true
editors should strive for. Back next month, till then 3's &

sounds in Yugoslavia where American pop main is hrd on the radio, in the streets
and in record shops where Western albums are nlentifnl. Italy was characterized
by the constant roar of disco over the small local FM stations, and in West Germ-
any there was a mix of Wagner, US and Ug pop/new wave and ionpah music. On the
AM dial, near the Seat Germany border, every FRG station was covered by a
(deliberate?) het from an eastern station on the same frequency. While GDR AN
