(Steve Lare-MI-USA, dxld Sept 29) COLOMBIA The Colombian daily El Tiempo reported that among the 27 members of the FARC who were killed in an attack by the army on September 19 near the Ecuadorian border was Maria Victoria Hinojosa, alias Lucero Palmera who ran the FARC's clandestine radio station La Voz de la Resistencia. A journalist before she joined the rebel ranks, she broadcast under the name Mariposa Cano and was the girlfriend of a FARC leader who is currently in prison in the United States. She belonged to the 48th Front, which was responsible for killing eight policemen during a September 10 attack in the municipality of San Miguel, the newspaper said.

That was back in 1984, and all three outlets (FM, MW and SW) were active and healthy from Cieneguita (Little swamp) which Sydney Walther used to call "SilverTown ". The fact that the transmitter locations were in the middle of a swamp, guaranteed a very effective ground plane for the MW antenna (base loaded + wave). The SW outlet had an inverted L. Thanks for your site, and for the memories it brought back.

Solid S4 to nearly S=5 with I3 QRM from 6030 kHz - this was managed by reducing B/W to 3.78 kHz and moving the passband down 1.2 kHz to mostly eliminate the 6030 QRM.
