** WHAT IS "LOS NUMEROS" **
"Los Numeros" is an old Shortwave tradition - it's been around
in one form or another - since the days when HAVANA MOON first
hit the Radio scene!
It first appeared as a column in the Newark News Radio Club
Bulletin and later in Monitoring Times. Havana Moon and "Los
Numeros" claim a large and loyal following among hobbyists
and professionals alike.
This newest "Los Numeros" is a full featured magazine-format
Shortwave Listening Conference based on an internationally
accessible computer system operated by the Portal* Communica-
tions Company of Cupertino, California.
"Los Numeros" On-Line brings quality, immediacy and relevant
information to the serious Shortwave Listener - and it does
something no other communications or monitoring publication
can do - it provides a unique opportunity for the subscriber
to interact one-on-one with the Experts!
"Los Numeros" On-Line is the perfect blend of two of the
world's most exciting and fastest growing electronics hobbies -
Shortwave Listening and Personal Computing.
It features Articles by the Experts in radio and related fields,
Radio-related Software, Club Information, Special Interest
Groups, Intelligence Updates, a Crypto Corner, On-Line News-
letters and much, much more.
"Los Numeros" On-Line selected the Portal* system because of
its unique characteristics, including a friendly user interface,
on-line documentation, flexibility - and aboe all - its afford-
ability.
Additionally, Portal* provides "Los Numeros" On-Line subscribers
with access to its E-Mail Gateways to UUCP, ARPA and BITNET.
Portal* is linked to The Usenet, an internationally distributed
conferencing network which spans four continents, 30 countries
and tens of thousands of users on over 7000 computer systems.
"Los Numeros" On-Line is tomorrow's technology today - we hope
to see you as part of this continuing tradition!
