["Ira Elbert New, III" <ien3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess I should have read this one first...

I know what I heard was/is correct. I'm just not sure I used the correct 
calls and whatnot. Compare it to say...


IEN-GA Ira Elbert New, III, Watkinsville - SANGEAN ATS 909 & SELECT-A-TENNA 
and Drake R8B 135' N/S Wire

750 CMHV Cuba Trinidad - 06/17 0324 - Latin music, Newscast just shy of 0330 
and then more music. Man and woman talking at 0345 and then more music. 
Another Newscast was delivered just shy of 0400. Radio Progreso was 
mentioned several times along with Havana. President Bush was mentioned in 
the newscast just shy of 0400. Good, steady signal on both the SANGEAN and 
the Drake with slight splatter from WJR on 760 in Detroit, MI. "Radio 
Progreso".  (IEN-GA)

or an American log...

IEN-GA Ira Elbert New, III, Watkinsville - 1996 ISUZU Rodeo Premium Audio 
System 8200

690 WOKV FL Jacksonville - 11/29/03 1709 - A Home-Fix-It Show buried under 
bleed from WCNN on 680. A weak signal, nonetheless. "Newstalk 690 WOKV"  
(IEN-GA)

I just want to have the correct info in my logbook. Correct calls, country 
code, abbreviations, etc....That's all.
