Re: Fwd: [HCDX] DX-ing Venezuela

[Sheldon Harvey <ve2shw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Glenn, and everyone else on this list.

I want to make something clear about the posting by
Aurel Chiochiu regarding Venezuelan mediumwave
stations which I have logged.

Mr. Chiochiu contacted me by e-mail, asking me which
mediumwave stations I had logged.  The list which he
quotes in his posting is a complete listing of MW
Venezuelans I have logged OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS from
my location near Montreal.  These are not current
loggings.

Mr. Chiochiu's first language does not appear to be
English, based on the e-mails I have received from
him.  He wanted to know what Venezuelan station I had
logged, which is what I sent him.  I believe that he
thought that I had logged all of these stations
recently.  This is obviously not the case.

My apologies for any inconvenience or confusion that
this may have caused, but something was obviously
mis-understood, probably due to language.
