Year  2   Number 42  - Rome,  10 November  1997 

USA - The 500 kW SW station in Maine previously known as WCSN and WVHA
has finally been sold. The buyer is LeSea Broadcasting, owner of WHRI
and KWHR. Price was only $1.5 million, and this may drive down the price
for other SW stations on sale, such as WRMI asking $650K. Due to
regulatory red tape, the Maine station is not expected back on the air
until December (George Thurman, TX  and WORLD OF RADIO 916/ SW/DX
Report  30 October 97/ SW/DX Report  30 October 97)

USA - [non]. The Brother Stair relay via DTK Germany for W97, schedule
previously given, does not start until Nov 1, as B.S. has announced on
his program, heard by Jim Moats. A satellite link from Walterboro to
Juelich is being set up. At 0200-0400, DTK schedule shows both B.S. and
Croatian Radio on 5840; I am already hearing the latter //6120 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, Oct 30 and WORLD OF RADIO 916 / SW/DX Report  30 October 97)

USA - SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Brother Stair's relays via Germany are now
underway, on somewhat different sked than originally in DTK listings:
0000-0200 5840, 0200-0400 5880, 7335 (swamping CHU which never gets any
respect), all to NAm, as announced by B.S. on non //WWCR-7435 at 0237
Nov 4 and confirmed; rest of the sked he gave, mostly with incorrect
local time conversions, so let's hope the freqs are right: 0600-0800 ANZ
9500, 1600-1800 Eu 6175, 1700-1900 ME 11650. Says he has option to go
24h on "Radio Jewlick" (Glenn Hauser, OK/ SW DX Report 97-20, Nov 4,
1997)

VIETNAM - [non]. VOV relay in Spanish at 0300-0330, English 0330-0400 is
on new 5905 ex-7260. Wonder if this is Germany now instead of Russia
(Ivan Grishin, REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING / SW DX Report
97-20, Nov 4, 1997)
