SQQH-A@BIm B.C. B LOO- We wish to remind you that our good member, Steva lilann, who has arranged all those f i n e South and Central American DX programs f o r BNRC and NRC is r igh t no* comp$iling amost up-to-date log of all s ta t ions i n the Americas outside of the United States and Canada. Steve has wri t ten to the govermentu of every country i n t h i s hemis- phere asking f o r t he i r o f f i c i a l list of s t a ~ b r d broabas t stations, end he has re- ceived them from every country except Hor.&~ras at t i ~ i s wxiting. Now t h i s log w i l l be published alphabetically by countries, and un3er each one, by frequencies, l i s t i n e the i r power, address, verie-signers, and i n m a q y cases, noours of operation. Also shown ' m i l l be the i r own local time as compared to Eastern Standard The. This, we can s q , w i l l &a && South and Central h e r i c a n log to ehd all such logs! And the log w i l l also include lb'lexico and Cuba, a.11 the VRest Indian countries, and - veil, ev- erything on t h i s side of the oeaan. Anuther important feature w i l l be the complete l i s t i n g of a l l A.F.R.S. stations! Now th i s log is being mimeographed by Steve him- se l f , i n conjunction with Hal Wagner, and the cost i s so mrmjsingly low that vie wonder how Steve can do i t - jus t 50$! Everyone w h o DXes at a l l should have a capy of t h i s trenenlous, comprehensive Latin-Auericm log. Today - r igh t now - send Steve that half-a-buck, to: Lr. Stephen iwnn - 25 Ward St ree t - Festbury, L.I., N.Y. and maks sure to have your copy of t h i s great >;)ark of Steve's. Be thank him f o r h i s e f f o r t s and consideraticn f o r all of us DXers!
