>Sirs,
>since several months your station had been using frequencies in the
>tropical bands, as 5065, 3315, 3230 and 2390 kHz. Your attention had been
>drawn to the fact that those frequencies had been allocated for decades to
>stations in tropical countries, where the use of AM frequencies is limited
>by atmospheric disturbances. Several short wave listeners explained  to
>you that those radio station from the so-called Third World are working
>within this frequency range with low power transmitters, to serve a local
>or regional audience.
>
>Unfortunately all you was able to reply were rude comments to polite letters.
>What do you want to express with the final sentence at the end of your May
>96 >schedule update?

>You wrote: Going boldly where no other SW broadcaster dares.
>
>So transmitting with a power which is 10 times stronger than the average
>>power used within this frequency range is something you are proud of??
>Jamming local and regional broadcasters should be regarded as a good
>example to >other international broadcasters??

>As shortwave is an international medium, your inconsiderate behaviour also
>>became known internationally.
>Among European listeners at least WWCR already is the synonym for ignorance.
