darkest days of the second world war and has continued to stand for sixty-
five years now: "The news may be good, the news may be bad; we will tell
you the truth."
It is my hope and that of others who are standing with the VOA in its hour
of need that what you read in these pages will compel you to also stand
with the VOA by contacting your representatives and key leaders in
Congress. Tell them that we and they need to preserve what has worked best
for this country for decades in its public diplomacy- the VOA and its
strong dedication to reporting the truth wherever it leads. In order to
overcome today's challenges and those to come, we will need to embrace our
most cherished principles, not undermine them. And, moreover, we need our
public diplomacy to demonstrate the we believe in what we say.

[ZIMBABWE non] SW Radio Africa (between 1700 and 1900 UTC on May 5):
11775 - Moscow tx S=9+10dB, and
11810 - Armavir tx S=8, latter feed 1/8th second behind Moscow.
Both started at 1700 UT.
But 12035 - Rampisham 500 kW failed audio feeder of SW Radio Africa at
1700-1706 UT !! slot, instead two test tones of 200/400 Hz heard
alternating each other for a single second duration, and a pause of 6
seconds in between til 1706 UT.
Usual poor Rampisham signal strength at my location in Germany, S=5.
