When should the 2006 editions of these two books appear?
I haven't bought a WRTH in many years, but think that it'd be good to
have one as a reference for tropical band stations. I always liked the
fact that they'd give information as to identification announcements
and interval signals (remember when they had the actual musical notes),
which can prove to be very useful when hunting DX. Do they still
provide such information? Is the information _reasonably_ accurate (I
think that most tropical band stations stay put, as opposed to major
broadcasters who change frequency and times often)?

According to Dave Eduardo, Tropical Band is rapidly being supplanted
by good old fashoned FM. The Blue Pages is enough for me.
