Re Radio Marti not (?) answering reports.
Received a letter in English from the Office of Cuba Broadcasting
last week, dated March 13, 2003. It's gives no data as to when and where, but I
had sent them a report by ordinary mail in 2001 for 6030 kHz, and I wrote
that letter in Spanish I remember. A lot of letters and reports were lost
here in a pc crash, so I can't recall the details. Anyway, the verification
text is quite OK, and it is signed by Michael F. Pallone, Director,
Engineering & Technical Operations. It gives the address Office of Cuba
Broadcasting, 4201 N.W. 7th Avenue, Miami, FL 33166 and bears the logo of
Radio Marti TV and the text Broadcasting Board of Govenors printed at the
bottom. A card was enclosed, an old portait of José Martí.
I had since long given up hope, yes almost forgotten
the report, but now remember that I made some very nasty
remarks about the jammers of Radio Marti.
And hi also to Glenn, I know you will read this, so can you comment on
the use or non-use of accents. Of course it's Martí in Spanish, like José Martí
on the card, in the letter in English tho, it's Marti. I know some people
just hate accents, and it becomes tricky when you write in English about
people with Spanish names. It seems that habits are personal and change
from time to time. And here's quite another thing, perhaps related. It
brought me a smile when I read something about Iosif Vissarionovich Dzugashvili,
better know as Joseph (Uncle Joe) Stalin in a Spanish weekly magazine. Of
course it said José Stalin. He obviously escaped the fate to be known
as José Estalin. As you know Stockholm is Estocolmo in
Spanish...
