Experiment using uppercase letter "o" instead of a zero to distinguish searchs for UTC and CDT/CST local time values Experiment lumping the numerical component and time of day signifier together to also help distinguish between UTC and local time values, for doing searches.

This week's bulletin was written by George Wood. Packet Radio BID SCDX2050 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SWEDEN--The board of the Swedish National Radio Company has approved funds for a continuation of Radio Sweden's experimental broadcasts in Estonian and Latvian until the end of the year. These are 16:45-17:00 hrs on 1179 and 6065 kHz. This week's English edition of Sweden Calling DXers is a special link-up with the Radio Japan DX Corner, with a special feature on clandestine broadcasting in China. Some time during the next couple of weeks the Electronic Edition may suddenly disappear, at least from some bulletin boards and systems. Our first child is due any day now, and I'll be taking a short paternity leave as well as vacation during the month of August. The program will continue on the air, and David Snyder of the ANARC Computer Information Committee has kindly offered to transcribe an Electronic Edition from off the air. But David's version may not be uploaded to all the places where the regular Electronic Edition may be found. Everything should return to normal in September. (George Wood) COMPUTER CORNER--The Association of North American Radio Clubs computer bulletin board system has been closed down temporarily, as sysop Kirk Baxter is moving. But the system is to be at its new location from July 1st. The new telephone number, in the United States, is 913-345-1978. The ANARC BBS now includes a huge database of English language shortwave programs. You can view it online, or download it to your own computer. (ANARC Newsletter) The Italian Radiolisteners' Association has set up its own computer bulletin board in Modena. The number is +39-59-39 67 38. Florence is to host the 4th "Hambit" conference dedicated to radio and the computer, October 21st and 22nd. For more information call Carlo Ciapetti at +39-55-49 67 03 or by Fax to +39-55-47 55 69.
