Partial data letter from AFN Diego Garcia with beautiful 8 x 10 photo of island, signed by IC2 Bennett. Date on letter is Jan 23, 2006, postmark on envelope is the same. Almost a year to arrive!!! The envelope, letter and photo were all in good shape, so I don't think they were just stuffed in a corner somewhere. Still, pretty weird if you ask me. -=-=-=-
What did you hear from there? My son was stationed on DG for a year and a half. The only radio he knew about was a 50w thing. He didn't say anything about utes, but I'd be very surprised if they verified anyhow. He might be going back. I hope to supply him with a radio and some incentive to use it and report. He did say that Australian stations were good around sunset. I was hoping to figure a way to get a remote receiver there, but.. Surface mail can take a *very* long time. I sent him a computer monitor while he was there. Took literally months.
