They didn't just disappear this version, they were absent from the '98
issue too and I also regarded the lack of time zones as  a backward step...

There has been some updating, I always check the few "Return to Sender"
envelopes that come back undeliverable because of a bad address and in the
'99 WRTH I found a new address for Union Radio 1090 in Caracas... so a new
report has gone out to them... though I'm not holding my breath!

As a collaborator to the WRTH, I sent updated MW info for New Zealand
however, as with John Wright's Australian update, it wasn't used due to a
problem at WRTH HQ... David Bobbett tells me he is disappointed this
happened and is aware of what to check for next time. 

As to the accuracy of the information, I think we should all be keen to
contribute to the WRTH though unless you are a collaborator like me, how do
you offer your news? Perhaps WRTH should establish a bureau to handle such
information, e.g. any Latin changes being passed on to the Arctic Radio
Club etc... at present if I had some news on a Latin station, I wouldn't
know where to send it.

Am I alone in wishing that the TV pages of the Handbook would disappear or
is this the wrong forum to talk about the usefulness of this section given
that we as a group are more interested in MW/LW/SW??? I thought that all
the TV info could be assembled in the other TV & Satellite Handbook,
leaving plenty of room for a time vs. frequency graphical display ala
PWBR...

And has anyone noticed that in the '98 version, Barbados, the Galapagos Is
and Norfolk Is in the countries sections were all missing? This year
Norfolk has reappeared... Barbados and Galapagos are still "under water"...
