I sent along a prepared verie-card f o r I have read that they a r e tough. ?hen I rested u n t i l S u n l q , 2/25, and then added three more foreign s ta t ions t o the tver-growing log. F i r s t was WVDI (GOO), Cocorite, Trinidad, an A.F.R.R. s ta t ion, and i'm wondering why they were on that exrly - 4:00 a.m., E.S.T. ::hen i t i s only 5:00 i n Trinidad! They a re not on regularly at that hour, I f e e l sure, f o r they have never been heard there before by me, and only once (by "DX Ness) before th i s season by one 1 r . I got HGL quite weakly with Americaxr ddnca rr,usic and perfect English announce- ients, but ruch of the time a strocg ca r r i e r bi&ted theo; out very rudely.
