I recall hearing Belize many a night on my HS Graduation present, a DX-160, in the early 80's. I miss that radio! Sold it the late 80's.

One of my most prized QSLs is a verie letter from Dominica Broadcasting Service-595, logged on a late-model (#12-656) Realistic TRF in April of 1990 (slightly hot-rodded with a 4-kc MuRata ceramic filter, and inductively coupled to a 4-foot spiral loop).... Show of hands, how many folks remember when Radio Belize was a huge pest on 834? I did manage to re-log them during those ultra-hot auroral conditions of the early '90s after they moved to 830. Now they're off mediumwave altogether (sigh).

Now ZIZ-555 is the last split left in the Americas. Looking through IRCA Foreign Logs of the 70's, there were once scores of Western Hemisphere splits on the air and being DXed in the U.S. and Canada. I even heard a few of 'em myself. Hope ZIZ can stick around for a while.
