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".

request to be added".  Send your requests to either  kb8nw[@]hotmail.com  or
