Craig I suspect the comments about Canada apply to all countries. Most countries probably report new stations when they come on the air, but if the station goes dark it's not reported (as a way of protecting the allocation in case someone else wants it). In that respect, the list probably has every station that ever existed (after a certain date), rather than ones that currently exist. I notice, for example, St Lucia has a half dozen stations listed, but only one (660) was still around when I was there in December 2000, and that one may be dark by now. I have to agree, this list would be a good starting point if someone wanted to create a Latin American log. Except for Mexico and Brazil, Latin America is the only part of the world not currently covered by a hobbyist-maintained on-line station list, so it would fill a nice niche. I have soft copies of the Arctic Radio Club's LA station news column, plus DX Worldwide II columns. If anyone's interested in tackling such a project, they'd be useful sources of information. Also, the FCC counterparts for several Latin American countries have posted AM station lists on their websites. I don't know if the lists are kept up to date in all cases. Most were probably accurate when they were posted. Even if they're 4 or 5 years old, they're probably somewhat close to reality.
