[HCDX] Final HCJB English broadcast

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

ECUADOR 12005, 1300-, HCJB May 6 Fair to good reception and improving as dawn proceeded.  Mostly a S7 signal.  Final analog broadcast of DXPL followed at 1300 by a special farewell program bringing together a number of HCJB personalities and plans for digital shortwave, etc.  Much discussion of English as a second language programming.  English department 'isn't just vanishing into thin air', but difficult decisions have been made.  Hope for DRM.  Jeff Ingram moving to Singapore, while his son moves for a year to Vancouver.  Passionate letters acknowledged.  Continue to write to Karen at english@xxxxxxxxxxx, or snail mail.  Last chance for a QSL for English broadcast mentioned, but keep writing.  Asking for prayers as many of the staff leave Quito.  Goodbyes from everyone at 13:29:45, then fanfare, and time-pips and off at 13:30.  Goodbye to an old friend!. 21455 was just a very weak carrier.   (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC).
