Thanks Walt, Your tips on AFN-1575's programming are very much appreciated. By coincidence, I was a military dependent at one of those locations (Iwakuni, Japan) from 1967-69, and listened to the station all the time. I even remember the transmitter location, close to the ocean beach. It

Gary, FEN 810 used to be fairly common back in the early 80s here on the coast, but I have not heard it for years. The Russian at Vladivostok seems to be the one I hear now at LSR. Back in the 60s when I lived in Seward AK, FEN 1550 (Tokyo) was common. I think they were 10 KW. Later they

Thanks Walt. If you heard it in Kyoto, that is a fair distance, but at least the one you heard got out and only on the 2010. What year was that? Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside Oregon Come visit us for the 2010 IRCA convention held Sept 24-26 at the Inn At Seaside.

Listened from 1308 to 1416 utc. Better conditions than yesterday morning here. More Radio Rossii stations heard, but at weak levels. Mostly Japanese stations and a few Chinese stations. VOA 1575 lately has been weaker than in the past. Earlier in the season it was right up there with HLAZ

Started listening a bit earlier this morning, 1225UT, and things were fairly active for the 20 minutes that I was able to spend. Not much more was heard at 1345, and in fact, some things had faded out. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594

Hello All, Like Dennis, I noticed conditions were improved from yesterday, although there still wasn't any further appearance of 1575-AFN under VOA-Thailand. Using the 7.5 loopstick Tecsun PL-380 and 7.5' PVC box loop, the conditions here pretty closely matched those reported by Dennis,

Gary, 810 is not the easiest target on the coast here, but it has been frequently heard, especially at the DX cottage on Haida Gwaii. I rather enjoyed listening to it in Tokyo, but noted that it wasn't very strong anywhere else..Walt. On Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 6:43 AM, d1028g...@aol.com

Hi Gary, This morning I was also part of the Puyallup Posse, searching for signs of 1575 AFN. I didn't find any hint of them either, during 1355-1405 and 1455-1505 Perseus recordings of the band. Besides 1134 you mentioned, I also noted 1422 JORF Yokohama doing very well at 1402-1403. 73, Guy

Hi Guy, Thanks for assisting on the 1575-AFN watch :-) It may be a while before their signal makes it to Puyallup again, judging from the last couple of days. Even 1575-VOA has been kind of anemic. Walt's 2007 recording of 1575-AFN from Haida Gwaii (posted on DXer.Ca) is far more
