[IRCA] VOA relay on 1550

2014-07-18 Thread Rick Robinson
I have tried to get a TOH ID on a station on 1550 that is relaying VOA programming in what sounds to me like a southeast Asian language. My AM DX log doesn't ID anyone with this programming. There was a clear VOA ID at 0705 this morning. I'm still hearing it quite well at 1240 EDT. Any ide

Thank you for all the work setting up this super website. For those of us who will most likely never visit Quoddy House, it is a great experience to hear what can be heard at a first class DXpedition. Your antenna array and Perseus are a quite impressive pair. I too was banned from Dallas' Y
