Rafael Rojas Cremonesi, Puerto La Cruz, Anzoátegui, Venezuela: "Thanks for your e-mail newsletter. It is very informative. It has come to my attention your note on the latest crisis in Radio Canada International. It is a little hard for me to get the information via the website, due to some problems with my Internet service, and I am only using e-mail. I would like to get a detailed explanation on what's going on so I can forward the information to Venezuelan DXers, and also some notes about the planned BBC cut to North America. It seems to be it's a pretty hard time for a shortwave buff."
Ken Pulfer, Ottawa, Ontario: "Hi Sheldon. Just a note to put on record how much Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) values your effort in this area. I always go through your Internet Newsletters carefully and check each web site to see if it would be of interest to our members. Thanks! And keep up the good work." [Ken Pulfer is RAC's Vice-President, Government and International Affairs. RAC is the official organization for hams in Canada, similar to the USA's ARRL and the UK's RSGB -- Ed.]
Dick Pearce, Brattleboro, Vermont: "Thanks for another 5 or so hours of very interesting browsing in your last newsletter."

From Vernon Stone, Professor, Missouri School of Journalism. "Welcome behind the scenes of your local news broadcasts -- for a systematic look at the people and institutions that bring you television and radio news in the United States. My national surveys address such topics as newsroom profitability, salaries, staff diversity, careers and internships. This website is the first to publish new mass media research. Begun in 1995, it continues the reports I've done for scholarly journals, trade magazines like the RTNDA Communicator and books for more than 30 years. Standards are the same as for my peer-refereed journal articles. Emphasis is on long-term trends rather than year-to-year differences, which usually mean little."

Computer enhanced audio for shortwave listening. "Making the world sound better one PC at a time!" Connect the line-out on your receiver to the line-in on your computer's sound card. The program digitizes the audio, mathematically breaks it down into its component frequencies, applies numerous processes to enhance the signal, converts it back to an analog signal and plays it out through your computer's speakers. All in real time. Employs high speed second generation DSP techniques not just the older FIR filtering methods. This means it can reduce in-band noise and not just do low, high and band pass filtering. Optimized for SWL with wide 5.5 kHz (up to 22 kHz) audio band width good for music and not just voice.

Related to discussions about Mini Discs. Not radio related per se, but useful for those who want to make long recordings. Standard minidiscs can record up to 80 minutes in CD-quality stereo. Some recorders (portable and tabletop) can double the length of time by recording only in mono. Now, there is a new audio compression system that can quadruple the length of a MD, and provides MP3-quality stereo audio. If only they had the same for mono, it would further stretch the length of available audio per disc.... Can you tell that I like these creatures?
