....Please, do not tell me how, because I do not know (hi !)...but it seems I
was lucky to solve some problems with WORD 97 !!! (i.e.: ordering tips by
Time, Frequency or Country, to justify columns etc.etc...), also thanks to Bob
Hill and Paul Ormandy....and my cousin Claudio. I have a lot of things to learn
about WORD 97.Really, It was very hard for compiling this issue of TFW.

RAUL GONZALEZ- Dear Giovanni: Greetings
from some place of South America, it has lapsed more than one year since
it has begun it is necessary to operate our radio station, we are about to
conclude 1998, along this year we have received a lot of correspondence of
different countries of the world, the same one has stimulated us and them
forces us to overcome us in this year that this about to begin, to all those
that have written us thank you their comments, opinions and suggestions
which are very appreciated. Radio Blandengue has answered all the
correspondence received through our correspondents, if some listener doesn't
receive answer in the course of next weeks, we regret to inform him that your
letter never arrived to our hands. Along this year we have had the
experience that many of the letters sent to the maildrop of Argentina were never
given and therefore it didn't arrive at our offices, according to the
information given by our correspondent the same one it has been stolen,
therefore this address will be eliminated definitively, for this means we will
be informing which will be our new address apart from the existent one in
Canada the one that usually works and without any inconvenience. There are
some programs taken place previously at the moment that they are emitting in
Europe or that they will be re transmitted for our relays in some of those which
the address of the maildrop service of Argentina is announced, we will thank
them not to send any correspondence there since the most probable thing is
that it never arrives at our offices, ALL DIRECTED CORRESPONDENCE TO RADIO
BLANDENGUE will be sent to the following postal address: R.B. BOX 293
Merlon, Ontario N0P 1W0 CANADA. We take advantage to inform that
only 3 reports have not been verified to consider the same ones as not
authentic, erroneous or sent us outside of time the same ones are the following
ones: Giovanni Bellabarba, Genova, Italy (False Report) Scott McArdle, USA
(Erroneous) Engineer Santiago San Gil, Barinas, Venezuela (Correspondence
sent after 5 months and of oneself town where we had already received only
two reports being valid the first one) The rest of the correspondence was
answered totally and those reports with few data or it lacks of
them, they were responded observing or informing him that the same ones were not
completely correct. We will THANK to DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION. 73's &
FFFR!!!Raul Gonzalez DJ Radio Blandengue.Happy New Year 1999 <http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shadowlands/4401/blandengue.html>

hearing a very weak signal both mornings and evenings here with Oriental
music but no readable speech. Might be Xizang PBS, but it's extremely tough to
ID because of constant QRM from stations occupying 7170 at various times
of day. (Hill, USA )-
0000- 7415- TAJIKISTAN- Radio Free Asia,
Dushanbe 12/128, 00:00, announcing Lao service, a few minutes of programming,
than suddenly off. Tibetan service listed here untill 00.00 UTC. Laotian should
be on 7495 kHz from this site. Estimated SINPO was 35344. Presumably they made
the switch to 7495 a couple of minutes too late. (I couldn't check, because most
of my nighttime monitoring is unmanned. I'm deep asleep and check the wavfiles
next morning).WBCQ seems to be off the air, no trace of them here. (Schaay, The
