Interestingly, you may remember the "back & forth" Glenn Hauser and I
had regarding the frequency charts on the website and the text warning
of the cuts. That text now has a statement at the bottom -- see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/internet/800/radio_frequencies_south_america.shtml
or http://tinyurl.com/452c4 -- the frequencies posted are the current
ones, not the proposed ones.
