DXER ham radio news Many thanks to a number of SWLing Post contributors who shared the following sad news from Radio Havana Cuba. I’m sure many of you have heard Rosario Lafita on the air and perhaps even corresponded with her as she also confirmed listener reports: Dear listener: With great regret, we inform you that journalist Rosario Lafita Fernández, died on the morning of April 4th last. She was considered as an exemplary worker of Radio Havana Cuba for almost 40 years, the last 10 in charge of the International Correspondence Department. Her legacy, as an integral professional, will remain forever in our minds and hearts. From this moment, we’ll continue the communicative work she directed with love and deep conviction that the most important thing, for each member of this Department, is to maintain the personalized attention to each one of you. Fraternally, Department of International Correspondence Radio Havana Cuba from DXER ham radio news http://bit.ly/2KC8UUO via IFTTT via Tumblr http://bit.ly/2v0G0Dr April 11, 2019 at 09:04AM via Tumblr https://certainheartrunaway.tumblr.com/post/184108585865 DXER ham radio news In January, when I first heard about David Vaughan’s book Hear My Voice, I knew then and there I would have to read it. So I picked up a copy on Amazon with the intention of doing so…well, soon. However, I’ve got quite a number of books in my to-be-read stack at the moment, so Hear My Voice lay in wait on my bookshelf until this past Sunday, when I decided to read the first chapter––just to get a taste of it. Although I had a very busy day in store––working on a home renovation and making several trips into town––nevertheless I struggled to pull it from the stack, and having rapidly consumed the first chapters, had a hard time putting the book down. By the day’s end, I found I had read the entire book. While those who know me know I’m a bit of a WWII history buff, I only knew that Hitler’s seizure of the Czech Sudetenland was but a hint of what was to come. The history I’d read previously had provided a bit of insight into this crucial lead-up to the war, but not as Vaughan’s book does: in what feels like a first hand account, through the eyes of an interpreter and broadcaster. I was hooked. Hear My Voice clearly indicates how transformative the medium of radio was in this era, and how deliberate and insidious Nazi propaganda became in the Sudetenland years before Czechoslovakia ever took notice. All in all, it’s a great read. I think you’ll find Hear My Voice as intriguing as I did. You can purchase Hear My Voice via: Amazon.com $11.99 shipped (affiliate link supports the SWLing Post) Book Depository $12.16 shipped Barnes and Noble $11.99 Read our previous post which includes a Radio Prague audio interview with the author. from DXER ham radio news http://bit.ly/2P2CjGy via IFTTT via Tumblr http://bit.ly/2P4Ib1Y April 11, 2019 at 09:04AM via Tumblr https://certainheartrunaway.tumblr.com/post/184108585975 DXER ham radio news from DXER ham radio news http://bit.ly/2VDM93W via IFTTT via Tumblr http://bit.ly/2Dcosc2 April 11, 2019 at 11:15AM via Tumblr https://certainheartrunaway.tumblr.com/post/184110802600 DXER ham radio news from DXER ham radio news http://bit.ly/2VDM93W via IFTTT via Tumblr http://bit.ly/2Vykr8R April 11, 2019 at 11:15AM via Tumblr https://certainheartrunaway.tumblr.com/post/184110802910 DXER ham radio news A team consisting EA1ACP, EA1DVY, EA5BJ, EA5EL, EA7FTR, S92HP and EB7DX will be active from Sao Tome e Principe AF-023 as S9A during June 6-18, 2019.
