U.'s generally good during the entire' period - no obvious correlation between LA reception conditions and the scattered high-band TA, openings experienced during the period.

In Pennsylvania,: Een Dangerfield notes. "CX still very much LA. here except for a brief period between 2300 on 1/15 into the API of 1/16 when the dial from 1187 to 1602 .was alive with.TA1,s, and signals from. some of the regulars were tremendous.

In Hawaii, Wood reports "generally sub-average, noisy conditions,? The forcast - continued good LA, conditions and sporadic TA/TP receptions, occasionally quite good at times; cx should begin'to return to "normal" early in PIarch. *On Recierocal Paths. European DX'ers generally experienced very poor Th reception &wing the Xmas and New Year periods: major exception was ARC'S Yngve Nattson, located in-the,vewfar North - above boththe Arctic Circle and the auroral ring. He reports receptions including: CICSA-1080, wlm-1130, CKXL-1140, KSL-1160, Uai0-119.0, CKDh-1220, KTLN-1280, KOL-1300, and KCPX-1320. . In addition, he ieports manyAlaskan receptions, fncluding the new station at. North Pole, KmP-1170. .. . . *Spanish Sahara. I've managed to locate the original press release for the new stations of this country', According to Piadrid's' newspaper w,July 18, 1967, two new, stations were inaugurated on July 19, 1967: a 50 kw operation at .aAiun, and a 10 kw rig at Villa Cisneros. The announced plan was to employ RNE technicians while local personnel were being traAned and to transmit "public information, cdtura:1 and Pure entertainment programs." It would therefore seem that the unit on 656 whi'ch is so well heard in Europe is the 50 kw uni-t, and that 998 is the 10 kw station at Villa Cisneros, relaying RNE and 656. (~d) 'St- Helena, the remote island in the South Atlantic (SE of hscension) where Napoleon was exiled, is now conducting experimental broadcasts for educational purposes. According to an item that we discovered while reading that well-known publication. Th4St. Helena News Review, the transmissions'are being carried on 1511 from a 500 watt transmitter. If reception is satisfactorv throu~hout- the island, the station will go into regular service later in the A great, .b& possible, catch from North America.

(m)2-. -.IEXE -. page 2, February 3, 1966 "The Pirate Situation. So many Pirates in operation throughout the world now that we'd better survey the situation by country: BELGIW: Radio Atlantis has operated on 1539 but is only on at the moment. This Pirate has found the best legal loophole to date, according to F. van Acker of Eenelux: "On Friday Hay 12th, the 'boss' of the station asked to meet ... listen- ers at a certain restaurant at Ghent (where the transmitter is located) at 2345. I went and met the engineers and talked with them... It may sound mysteriow, but there is nothing mysterious about this pirate station... (it is) owned by a Radio and TV repair shop with the name Radio Atlantis. How is it possible to broadcast for more than 4 years in Belgium without a license? Well the officials of R. Atlantis told me this: the Belgian law prohibits house-search after 2100 GNT. Therefore the station comes on the air at 2200 and the transmitter is moved after signoff at 2330. The Belgian Radio InvestigatZon Department has already searched the house 8 times (during the hours allowed) but has found nothing." (~enelux) INTERNATIONAL WATERS: "Two htchmen, Jacques Soudan and Pieter van Dijk, disk- jockeys of Radio 227, Britian Radio and Radio Caroline, have purchased the 75 ? transmitter of ex-Radio London, and they hope to come on the air from a fort 123 miles off the British coast in ?.fay or June. The.new station will be call.ed Radio Swinging Holland. HQ in Ultrecht. Tests on ,1502. 1034, or 773." INTERNILTIONAL \JATERS (Ireland): Radio Jacquelin is operating 7~2than ERP of about 45 watts on 1385, apparently as a protest against the closing of the English pirate outlets; is using Caroline's slogan of "Freedom on the Air." Hrd around 2130. (lac) NECj ZEALAND: Radio Pegasus has been testing on 1235 with low power recently, according to newspaper accounts, but apparently has not been hrd on mainland; was operating off the coast of Christchurch (emiles). Says i\iZDXT: "Coast where it is indended to broadcast from is very exposed and I doubt that this stn will last long if it ever gets on the air." :Radio Hauraki has been sunk, according to a UFIitemsent along by Richard Nall: "New Zealanders were electrified to hear Haurakifs usual rock mx interrupted by an announcement that rough seas had forced the 160 ton vessel to up anchor and flee. The water cooler failed, resulting in an overheated engine, and the ship, the Tiri, was left drifting helplessly. The DJ's, deciding airwaves should prevail over seawaves, kept up a running account of the saga of the sea to thousands of listeners ashore. 'tie are a bit frightened that thehullis going to cave in, ' Paul Lineha- shouted. 'Sending up flares... anchor being dropped... engine stopped completely... drifting on rocks... we have gone aground... abandon skip!' There was a loud crash. 'I love you mum and dad.' Eneham's voice was hrd as the water gurgled over the records and microphones. The crew of 7 scrambled to safety ashore Great Barrier Island and huddled around a fire throughout the night until rescued early yesterday." "Eskimos given used icebox! Dave Bennett has done a very fine job of tracking down the reported Eskimo broadcasting operations mentioned in past issues of IDXD. Dave's been in contact with Bud Orange, the K.P. from the W:lT who first brought this story into the national press; Grange has supplied the following press release, dated December 22, 1967: "An Arctic community got a Christmas present today when Transport Ylnister Paul Hellyer announced that arrangements have been made with the Department of Indian Affairs and Xorthern Development to provide temporary radio broadcasting service for 'the community of Pond Inlet on the northern coast of Baffin Island. "Working with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation a used short-range 20-watt standard broadcast transmitter has been made available. Overhauled by Transport technicians, the transmitter will be air-lifted to Pond Inlet by a Canadian Forces aircraft on a normal supply mission. "On an experimental basis, the transmitter will be used to broadcast volunteer community operations on a 'pilot projecti basis. Recently. Pond Inlet had its unlicensed station. which was in operation on amateur frequencies, closed down because northern commercial radio users complained that it was interfering with their operations."
