Meanwhile, heard from Dave Frantz again at 1358 UT Feb 25: ``By the way, Radio Munasi [sic] wants to be heard in North America and South America by ex-pats. Their internet stream is BLOCKED in Uganda.  Well, well, shortwave radio does have its use! It's BLOCKED in Cuba unless you`re a high up gov't official`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
