Voice of Vietnam English Service on 12005kHz via Wooferton, UK heard on August 29, 2016 at 0230UTC in Galena, Alaska, USA (Rural central interior, 300 miles east of Nome, 300 miles west of Fairbanks)
A SINPO rating of 44444. The signal was very strong and there was no interference but a moderate amount of fading was present. Overall, the broadcast was GOOD and fairly listenable. My recording starts with the interval signal/intro tune and announcers introducing the station but saying "This is The Voice of Vietnam, broadcasting form Hanoi, the capital of the socialist republic of Vietnam". Then a female announcer comes on gives brief headlines and preview of the show then starts in with the news headlines.
