Looking at a QSL from Radio 4VEH Cap-Haitien Haiti. The one that is black &
white and has a childrens choir with a mic top center. It is to me & dated
12-12-1978 at 2305-2330 GMT on 11835 KHZ 25 meters. Signed by Edna Beachy.
I'm sure many of you have a card just like it.

I have that card too....except I heard the station in early 1979. The
card came in the mail much later, around September 1979 if I recall
correctly.

Also in late 1979, I read in the "Sweden Calling DX-ers" newsletter
(remember those?) that the Haitian Goverment had made up some new rule
preventing 4VEH from using the shortwave bands (they still could use
the "tropical" bands though). They disappeared from 11835 around the
start of 1980, and moved down to a couple of tropical band frequencies.
I don't know how long they used them, but they're not there now....

I QSL'd 4VEH 11835 in 1982. V/s, Edna Beachy. Not sure when they actually left
11835. WRTH 1984 shows them on 11835, 1986 does not, and I do not have a 1985
WRTH.
