in April 2018. "We are trying an experiment with this issue of the
newsletter. One of our new directors, Otis Vicens (NP4G), has labored
alongside your editor to produce a Spanish translation", specifically aimed
at the large Spanish-speaking population worldwide. "We hope this effort
will indicate there is sufficient interest in continuing with a Spanish
translation".

only very few e-mail addresses have been added. The new mailing list does
