I'm troubled that there continues to be a continuation of Russian spelling for the transmitter sites for Ukrainian radio. Kharkov should be spelled Kharkiv, and Nikolayev, Mikolayiv. I checked the NRCU website, and at least the Ukrainian site is completely in Ukrainian. I couldn't find any transmitter sites on their English website, though. It's 14 years since independence, and let's accept the proper spellings! Remember, Beijing was once Peking and Peping!.........Walter Salmaniw, Victoria.
PS: While I "vent" another thing that burns me is the continued use of "CIS" in dx circles. This is a totally moribund organization and an attempt by Russian to resurrect the USSR. Why bother using the term anymore. These countries are all independent and separate DX countries. Using the term CIS is confusing and nonsensical in my opinion. Thanks for the bandwidth!
