S&eye-lflg,ng = &2_5 mard-St,rgei , P!e~_t-by, L. f., N.Z. A few very welc%e veries have arrived. "Bayarischer Rundfunk" (740 kc/s., 100 lav/) ?:!!hmich, ~ e n n a ~ . , nice l e t t e r ; Radio Monte lo (959 kc/s,, 120 kw/), Monte Carso, '%i>naco (nice l e t t e r and beautiful 4-colar brochure describing the s ta t ion) ; and Kos-

ne, Czechoslovakia (1204 kc/s., 100 iwr,)(nice card); al l three i n reply to fellow- ,::pa t o last saeson's reports, leaving only Tunisia un-verified on reports of l a s t . inter. A 1 1 of above ata t ions are now on different freauencies. Also i n from October

: spo r t s a r e nice l e t t e r veries from ACA, Fort Clayton, Canal Zone (who received 29 :eports on the special) and from Toulouse I (944 kc / s / , 100 kw. ), Toulouse, France. Zncidentally, l e s t anyone think I am get t ing snooty o r sumpin i n DXing for foreign only, the p la in and simple reason is that so many nex O.S. s ta t ions have come on sinc I quit 3onestic BCB DXing bzck i n '41 that I ' d go nuts sending out reports to a l l the new ones I can easi ly hear! Arranging these foreign specials i s taking enough time as it ia . So f a r , I 've wr i t ten about 30 s ta t ions , with 12 agreeing to come on, and 1, ( ~ a d i o ~amaica) s q i n g not now, but maybe l a t e r on. Toughest country has been Hondur- a s where I've wr i t ten a l l 5 s ta t ions known to be on BCB without ge t t ing a single re- ply! Was glad to note inNovember 18 bu l l e t i n received today tha t CB-106 was heard by many. They were heard here from 3:32 t o 4:18 a.m., but very poorly through heavy sideban% f rm Wbdm &h&1 4:02. 4VGM was prevented from ooming on the 18th due to transmitter trouble again, but hope t o have everything OK so as to come on $2124. This morning, 11/20, CB-57 was logged quite easi ly from 3:04 (when PTMCA@s c a r r i e r went o f f ) t i l l 3:20, when they faded down into the noise level, and were barely audi- ble from then on. There was some QPM from a weak ca r r i e r on the frequencjr. The w q these Chileans wha are over 5,000 miles aww have come through, makes me hopeful tha t the r e s t w i l l be widely heard. Toughest one w i l l be the WSTA special I suppose, on 1.740 kc/s. Z!h reception has been spotty, but then it's mazing to me tha t they're coming through at al l so early i n t i e season. Some of the best heard s ta t ions that i l v e 1 ogged i n ad i i t i on to those mentioned i n my l a s t report a r e t h s American Forces Network s ta t ion a t Landshut, U.S. Zone of Garmany on 1106 kc/s., Rektlingeh, Frerch Zone of Germany on 1538, Ottringharr, England, on 1295, Kosice, Czechoslovakia on 1286, C:trasbourg, France cn 1376 (loudest European hear9 here t h i s season), A l l above jaard a f t e r Widnight, EST.
