From t h e New York Times v i a Ernie Cooper comes word t h a t e l c t i o n day i n Guyana w i l l be Dec. 1 6 t h ; look f o r Radio Demerara-760 a n t t he BGBS s t a t i o n on 560 on t h e mi of 12/17. Nost of u s s t i l l need BGBS.

Due t o my ever-changing work schedule, p o t e n t i a l hol iday mai l delays (not n e c e s s a r i l y a ho l iday phenomenon, e i t h e r ) and t h e need t o allow a b i t e x t r a margin on t h e publ i sh ing end, t h i s s ec t ion w i l l be c u t on Mondays U.F.N.

The permanent tower (500 f e e t ) i s now up and both s t a t i o n s back on 50 kVt power. The long delay was p a r t l y due t o t he need t o f a b r i c a t e t h e tower base i n s u l a t o r .
