Glenn-
I have no issue with you wanting a name of htis individual- however here 
is the caveat-
it was signed (electronically of course) "audience relations BBC World 
Service Bush House London, England". To me that is a coward who hid 
behind the name of the BBC. Personally I know of no way to change their 
mindset; to them shortwave is a dead issue (unless as I now recall in 
your MT Column they and Deutsche Welle wanting to wait and see if DRM 
works- at the SWL FEST, we did receive in fantastic quality DW's DRM 
test to North America in incredible quality- there were no audio breaks 
Glenn, it sounded incredible!)
I monitored the BBC briefly last night on 6110 in Spanish- I do not 
speak Spanish but what I heard was rather intriguing- at 0300 UTC there 
was an identification "/this is the BBC World Service in London/" in 
English- and back to Spanish.....now why the heck do they air an English 
identification on a SP broadcast beamed to central and South 
America??????????????

Keep up the great DX reporting!


73s

Bill
