INTERNATIONAL DX Digest @ Gordon Nelson, 19 Irma A~~ Watertown, Mass. 02172

DX conditions here in the northeast have been surprisingly good on several - days i n July; several evenings featured almost w i n t e r l i k e TA receptions between about 2000 and 2330. Page Taylar i n New Jersey and t h e M i t o r i n Massachusetts both noted many TAfs on 7/18 and 7/19; the Europeans were back again even be t t e r on 7/23 and the following two nights. I n addition t o the usual low-latitude Western Europeans sometimes noted during the suprmer, Central Ekwopeans a s f a r t o I. the East as Warsaw-1502 were noted with g o d signals during t h i s p e r i d . The eas ier of the North and West Africans (e.g.. Agadir-935. Sier ra Leone-1205. Conakry-1402) were a l s o aul ib le during the p e r i d . but signals were not par t icular ly outstanding. Aside f ran a tenta t ive logging of Mozambique-737 (under RNE) on July 13th here i n Massachusetts, ac t iv i ty from South and East Africa has been nil. On July 27th the TA's vanished and we began a period of "auroral conditions" featuring enhanced receptions from the South; on 7/28 Taylor reports t h a t many LA'S were heard (including the Peruvian on 8.54) but Dakar was the only TA audible a t all. Richard continues t o experience good reception i n Hawaii. and the New Zealanders likewise report g o d conditions and many loggings of North Americans from a s f a r t o the East as Chicago (WTS-890).

r As those who followed the Apollo 11 f l i g h t on TV probably remember, so lar ac t iv i ty during that time was reported t o be abnormally low f o r s o high a sunspot cycle period: since gewagnetic/auroral ac t iv i ty i s strongly influenced by so la r events. it should be expected t h a t July was an unusually quie t period - and, a s the followinggraph of the Fredericksburg A index of geanagnetic ac t iv i ty shows, indeed it was. The combination of generally low auroral ao t iv i ty during most of the month (compare *he high of 15 on July 13th with June's high af 24 and May's high of 64:) and a period of par t icular quie t beginning the 17th resulted i n a period of unseasonably g o d TA reception on medium-hi~h l a t i tude paths. This run of TA reception was broken by t h e moderateb severe disturbance which began on July 26th; typica l "auroral conditions" then followed.

Reportedly in operation ANGUILLA. WRTV S m e r Edition reports that there i s indeed a s ta t ion i n operation on this island, but gives the frequency as 1515 kHz; the f i r s t report of a s ta t ion on Anguilla here i n IDXD l a s t spring gave t h e freq as 1500 kHz, while the item of &om origin reported l a s t I D X D gave the channel f o r t h i s one a s 1505.

Cesdr Objlo has rushed us a tape of an unidentified English-speaHng Caribbean s ta t ion logged u n t i l signoff 2103 on July 19th on 1505; almost without doubt it seems t o be the new Anguillan outlet . After f i l t e r i n g out most of t h e het. t h e tape became about 95% readable; the programming consisted of an informal AT-type show MC'ed by a man with a pronounced Brit ish (not Caribbean) accent: t h e s h sign-d off with no I D or anthem; carr ier was cut about 2103:LO. The program seemed - - -. . - . . . .. -- t o be intended fo r a vely. l oca l audience and t h e DJ requested the audience t o tune i n again f o r t h e program "next week". The frequency of the stat ion, as determined by the audio heterodyne on the tape, varied considerab* during the.reception: this one may wel l be a "drifterl ' which could account f a r the differences i n reported frequency. Ces8.r. who's now equipped with a high precision direction finding equipment and computer-calculated bearings (supplied by t h i s editor) . reports the measured absolute bearing on this unid a s 89O - which misses Anguilla by 6 miles:

More information on the nw-defunct "Radio Iibertad, La Vm Anticommmsb de America" ( l a s t reported operating on a sporadic basis early l a s t spring) has come t o l ight . I n an a r t i c l e in NASWA's l a t e s t bulletin. C.N. Stanbury reports t h a t direction finding measurements taken f r m "a West Coast s i t e " with "government owned DF equipent" yielded a hearing which agreed verg closely with those taken by this edi tor f r m New Eneland over a year ago. Our measurements yielded a s e t of bearings which placed the s ta t ion i n the Caribbean or the Caracas area of Venezuela: Stanbury's crossbearings a re reported t o be on the same l i n e a s Bondre. UnfortUMbly, Stanbury ha3 given nei ther the location of b i s DF s i t e or any indication of the s t a t i s t i c a l uncertainty i n the measurement. The "allowing map indicates how well the Stanbuty rosul ts agree with o w e a r l i e r findings; i n addition t o the area defined by our Ilearings (including possible er ror l imi ts) . we've shown the bearings passing through Bnnaire as they would appear a t DF s i t e s i n Washington s t a t e ('W") and Southern California ("SC") - regardless of the "West Coast'' location of Stanbury's DF s i t n , the center bearing w i l l l i e somewhere between these limits. A l l evidence continuno t o point t o Venezuela a s the home of R.L.; a location i n the "ABC Islands" (Arubn, Banaire. & Curacao) has been pretty well ruled out since Fcichard Wood vis i ted those islands and reported tha t reception of Libartad was not of loca l quali ty there. but rather l ike tha t from s ta t ions East of Caracas.

Latin American Na ...-- - CQsar Objfo

mere i s a common n&stake made by U.S. DX'ers when they speak about a I a t i n American personal name: we've usually observed this e r ro r i n DX bul le t ins (and even i n World Radio TV Handbook) when s ta t ion owners, directors, or verification signers are mentioned. Personal names i n Latin America a re used i n s rather d i f ferent way than i n the U.S. and i t ' s important t o bear these differences i n mind.

Names in the U.S. a re used i n the following way: When a child i s born he receives a given name such a s John or Peter, a middle namo. and h i s fa ther ' s last family name a s a surname: his canplete name w i l l then bo somothine l i k e "John Theodore With", which i s often abbreviated t o "John T. Smith".

In Latin America when a child i s born he receives two names, fo r example. Jose Manuel". If he i s a legit imate male ( tha t is. born from a Iocnl mnrrage). he w i l l be en t i t l ed t o his fa ther ' s l a s t name of family nnmo, and f lnel ly h i s mother's family name; i f his fa ther ' s family name was "P$rnaD' snrl hin mot.horls family name was "Garafala", fo r example, his complete name would bo "Jon8 Monunl PQrez ~ a r d a " .

Sometimes t h i s f u l l name i s abbreviated l i k e th isr "Josd M I . I'drnv, (i.", or "Jos8 M. PKrez", or just "JosK PQrez". When this person doen not imn Ihln nocond name, i.e., "Manuel", there i s a possibil i ty of er ror i f he wrlton I l l n nomn i l k * this. "JosK PKrez Garafa". I n I a t i n America there w i l l be no mlnbnko. I,!>I. i n the U.S. DX'ers can't distinguish between a f i r s t name (nombre) or o 'lasl, rlalnn t)r
