       The "Low	Band Skip" column in the October 1983 issue of	the
       Radio	Communications	  Monitoring   Association   (RCMA)
       Newsletter mentions 3 Central American repeaters	 which	use
       the following frequencies during	daylight business hours:

	  o+ 33.475 MHz

	  o+ 33.675

	  o+ 33.875


       All transmissions are in	Spanish.  The 33.675  frequency	 is
       apparently a timber logging operation in	Nicaragua.

       With a poor antenna at 15 feet, I can hear the  activity	 on
       33.675  and 33.875, but haven't detected	anything on 33.475.
       Can anyone else hear these stations?
