Hi Charlie,

Swan Island and Swain Island are two different islands.  Swan is off the 
coast of Honduras and now belongs to them.  The prefix I'm familiar with 
used to be KS4.

Swan Island was once the site of Radio Swan, later called Radio Americas, 
that was a CIA-operated station broadcasting anti-Castro transmissions to 
Cuba on 1160 and 6000 kHz.  I have QSL cards from them somewhere around 
here ...
