A l l times i n IDXD are i n GMT. Receptions:

Nicaragua. YNTT, Managua noted mostly atop here on 111 from 0625-0704 with a variety of l a t i n mx, noted TC f o r "12:30 exactamente" a t 0632; had pre- recorded ID betwean just about every mx selection which I find d i f f icu l t t o decipher, but seems t o be something l i k e "...en Radio Corporaci6n, l a voz de l intere's del a&eo a l a s diez en punto" and had very heavy Spanish QRM here t h i s evening and may have had a Venezuelan around 0720 but not sure. (Feidt, Md.) Dom. Rep. Radio Cris tal , HIMS a l l alone here 0630 on, 12/21, mx, ads, echo effect and frequent Radio Cris tal IDS. ( ~ u r e t h , ~ d . ) Spain. RNE Madrid 11/30 a t 0005 with Spanish ta lker and then some vocals by a female group. I only mention t h i s because the l a s t time I hrd them was on 11/30/65 a t midnight - 7 years t o the day. (Alster, N.J.) Dom. Rep. HIAT, Santo Domingo hrd rather well on 1/1 from 0550 on with vy l ive ly SS mx, ID a t 0600 was "La Hora Universal" and in to a Spanish version of Jingle Bells. The half-hour time d i f fe ren t ia l i s an excellent indication of a Dominican Rep. reception. (Feidt, Md. ) Panama. HOS22, Panama City, noted on 111 from 0505 with Latin instrumentals t o 0515 s/ofY; I D was "Radio Mia . . l a gran cadena de l a l iber tad con emi- soras en Panama, Colon .." The only freq mentioned was 980 kHz, then into a religious blurb and anthem. (Feidt, Yd. )

.6 Guatemala. TGRT msd here, hrd for f i r s t time 12/28 a t 0457-0533 with or- gan and piano mx. "Percolator" IS followed by vocal I D : La Fabulosa. Had a male ancr, no ads. Severe QRM de KBOI and hetting against 660. Shouldn't it het KBOI? Mostly a good signal with occasional deep fades of about 1 or 1* minutes. ( ~ a r d e s t e r , Cal., using HQ-150, SM-1, BC-221) (NO recent QSLs -ed) Colombia. HJAN, Barranquilla on 1211 s ta r t ing a t 0010 drowned out the Cuban with news items and IX a t 0015 and continued with news; must be using in- creased power. (Alster, N. J. ) Colombia. HJCU, Bogota a t 0130 1211 with pgm of native mx en t i t l ed Media' N u m . No CKAC or WX. (Alster, NJ) Colombia. Radio Melodia, H J C J Bogota atop the channel 0618 12/20, ex-1040. ( ~ e ~ o r e n z o , Mass.) (some question about which s tn here, I think i t ' s ex-735) Cuba. CMCH Havana hrd 12/27 from 2250 with Spanish vocals, I D on the hour ran: "CMCH, del Institute Cubano de Radiodifusion, transmitiendo desde l a Habana, Cuba, t e r r i t o r i o l ib re de America." Was very strong; usual pest WAR was missing ent i rely. (Feidt, Md.) Haiti. ~ V E C , Cap Haitien DX hrd s/on 12/27 0700 t h m and sometimes over WCCO. Got good tape 0745-0750 with complete I D and promo for Virginia DX Assn, NRC and IRCA. Also was // 1035 and SW. Excellent s i g 1035 but did not check SW. (~undstrom, NJ) ~ V E C t e s t i n weak under WCCO. Hrd mentions of NRC, Radio Worldwide pgm 0701-0709. Should have been on 12/20, WCCO would've been no t rouble . (~ure th) ~ V E C hrd generally 20 t o 30 db weaker than WCCO. Thanks t o NRC Altaz loop, could take out WCCO by about 50 db (using 25' t i l t ) allowing easy, sol id copy of ~ V E C 0700-0710 when I tuned away. Sent them a tape report of t h e i r signal along with WCCO 0700 I D "time in 10 seconds 1 AM" i n hopes of a ver ie specifying 830. For what it i s worth, I personally am most strongly opposed t o t e s t s such as th i s , b i l l ed in advance as a 830 kHz t e s t , appearing on myraid // freqs. I fee l t h i s t e s t should have been aired on 830 ONLY, or e l se should have been b i l l ed i n advance as a multi-frequency t e s t . O r else, run separate pgmg on the different Outlets. I myself did not bother checking other freqs, except 1035 brief ly, which suffered from someone's T T . ( ~ o ~ o r t h ) Belize with Xmas mx 12/27 0528 and on. (Kureth, ~ d . )

Ads fo r "e spec ia l pasta" ( ? ) and "Radio Clarin" I D over long mx se l ec t ion 0702 12/21. XFUN a very weak second. (Kureth, ~ d ) Colombia. La Voz de Bogota equal t o WLS 12/22 0527.

( ~ e i d t , Md. ) Venezuela. "Radio Mia", YVXR f a i r under WBT and mixing wi th WHIM ET 0938 12/20. Odd, in t h a t Carupano usua l ly dominates here. They probably had s/on a t 1000.

C o m n t - "In view of the geographical considerations i n terms of d is tance between many of the i s l ands of t he Br i t i sh An t i l l e s (Br i t . W. I nd ie s ) compared with the Nether- lands West Indies, I s t rongly suggest t h a t Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire a l l be made separate countries o r e l s e the B.W.I. ' s (Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and ~ren?;da) be counted a s one country i n the i n t e r e s t s of conformity and con- vention." - Russ Edmunds.

You have considered the geograhical considerations but not t he p o l i t i c a l ones, which a r e a l so c r i t e r i a used i n the process of defining what i s a country and what i s not. The Br i t i sh i s lands ac tua l ly were once counted a s two countries: The Leeward I s . and t h e Windward I s ; t he formation of separate country s t a t u s T f o r each i s l and came with the measure of p o l i t i c a l independence t h a t they have achieved i n the past few years. As b e s t I know, the "ABC" Is lands a re a l l admin- i s t e r e d from Aruba a s a s ing le p o l i t i c a l e n t i t y ; fur ther , no one has previously ever suggested t h a t t h e "ABC" is lands be made 3 countries - unless it was a monthly hobby magazine giving out awards f o r logged countries.
