AFN / AFRTS. I have been working with a contact at AFN for quite some time
on the QSL situation. A formal annt is expected soon, but some techs at
the relay sites have been leaking details recently. I am not sure at all
that the QSL link on the AFN website is working, nor I am sure it will be
used when the new QSL answering sce is set up. When I get the official
news, I will release it via DXLD and you will see it here. Last I heard,
we were about 4-6 weeks away. I have been relaying updates from this
source to Glenn and NASWA over the last several weeks.
Also, contrary to reports in other SW pubs, the AFN maintains that these
relays are supposed to be 24/7 and not subject to shutdown for priority
military traffic. The feeds are unmanned. They are interested in reports
of reception and non-reception as DXers are often the first to alert them
to a tx that is off the air. The source told me in one email that they
know when Key West is off the air because they receive complaints from
yachtsmen and charter fishing boats when the broadcasts are down!!!

Lieutenant General Pham Hong Thanh, Vice Director of the Viet Nam People's
Army General Politics Department, expressed his thanks to the VOV for the

armed forces on the islands.
He said he hoped that the VOV, in cooperation with the people's armed
forces, would continue to improve the broadcast quality of its programmes
to better serve the people and army living on the archipelago and remote
