Larsen, the following letter from HCJB, ("The Voice of Andes") has been received by the New Zealand DX Association: "We are happy to complete the ‘handshake of friendship’ begun through our microphone and carried on by your good letter reporting reception of our programmes in English. You will understand that, with thousands of letters coming in from all over the world, it is not possible to write a personal letter to our friends on five continents. However, we deeply appreciate your kindness and are happy to have you in our legion of loyal listeners. "To everyone who writes us goes our card and this greeting. To all who ask for, it and enclose ten cents in U.S. postage stamps or their equivalent to cover hanfdling and return mailing charges, goes our monthly souvenir, which always represents a unique memento of our programmes, something typical of Ecuador. Make it a happy habit of writing to us each month for the current souvenir. We are glad to serve you as your ‘Good neighbours below the equator.’ "With cordial ‘saludos’ from ‘The Voice of the Andes,’ and all the staff.’ HCJB is located in Quito, Ecuador, and transmits on 12,460 kilocycles. It is heard quite well at the present time be- tween 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Their verification card is well worth writing for.
