Of course I also used the AFN website to drop off a reception report,
requesting that it be forwarded to DG. This resulted in the following
generic e-mail (so close, yet so far from the QSL I hoped for):
From: Burks, Darryl CIV NAVMEDIACTR
Sent: Monday, January 09, 2006
To: Ron Howard
Subject: Diego Garcia Short Wave 4319 kHz USB.
Mr. Howard,
Thank you for your response. We enjoy hearing from our various listeners
around the world. We had some problems with the transmitter recently and
it sounds like we may still be experiencing some problems.
Again, Thank you for your response.

A follow-up e-mail was sent to Darryl, very gently requesting some
stronger confirmation language. Also sent a snail mail report to him but,
to date, have not heard anything back. Sent off a report via snail mail
directly to DG but it was returned as undeliverable (name and/or address
must have been wrong). So I was overjoyed to see Scott Barbour providing
the correct contact information, which resulted in my receiving a friendly
E-QSL letter, so I can now chalk this one up. Naturally I still hope that
one of my other attempts will come through, but I have no great
expectations.
Maybe this information will be of help to others. Good Luck!

EL SALVADOR What appears to be a television report in Spanish on the
history of Radio Venceremos with shots and recordings of their shortwave
broadcasts is now at:

ETHIOPIA 6940 Yesterday I heard Radio Fana with a good signal at 1800
UTC on 6940 kHz with what sounded like a Nx bulletin in (I presume)
Amharic. The // freq of 6210 kHz could also be heard, but with a lot of
interference.
