Re: [HCDX] friendship through dxing

As my country was also a part of the Soviet block I remember how it was
with our transmitters (MW, TV, FM) and their data in EBU lists. For
example, G. Coordinates of our local TV/FM transmitter Krasov refered
to the capital of the region which is 40Km away. It was almost impossible
to get correct data through official channels. Maybe even Arnie has
no access to the information we would like him to give us and perhaps
we should not blame him for unwillingness...
