Passport to World Band Radio IS being published, and IS still in business.
The new 1999 edition is scheduled to be sent to the printer's this week,
as Larry Magne told me last month.  They have chosen a later publication
date this year so as to get more of the winter schedules; they have NOT
stopped publishing.  The new book should be out in a few weeks' time.
Also, the new edition of Passport to Web Radio should be out soon; Skip
Arey just did a review of the new book in the NASWA Journal.
