USA AFN e-mail responses:
DIEGO GARCIA 12579 AFN No response from Marshall C. Bennett for my e-mail
report yet, so tried Jennifer Gray but it
bounced back as undeliverable. Then tried the generic address
and got this "auto reply" from Naval Media
Center HQ:
"Thank you for your interest in the SW program! Effective immediately,
please update your correspondence addressing to reflect a new address for
the SW program:
Your email has been forwarded, you need not re-submit this particular
correspondence. Please act upon updating your addressing, as previously
stated, as soon as possible."

[DIEGO GARCIA] 12579U AFN Reply just in from IC2(SW) Marshall C Bennett.
Beside confirming my reception, he also says "The signal is sent to us
from the states then routed through us after we've applied our station
I.D. to broadcast to the island. The Frequency 4319 kHz is our nighttime
freq from 2100 to 0900. Our daytime freq. is 12579 kHz ... If you desire
more info you can e-mail me at
" So I guess thats 1500-0400 UTC on 4319, and
0400-1500 UTC on 12579.

I tried the e-mail address for a report on the
Barrigada, Guam tx and had the same result as the older USN address - no
response. I believe the problem is that no one is minding the QSL store at
AFN - that is, no new "Jennifer Gray" has appeared to take an interest in
SWL reports, therefore they're just going into the bit bucket. I've had
the same problem with the Commando Solo psyops group in Pennsylvania and
the MARLO group in Bahrain. Unless you find someone in the military who
understands SWL reports and takes the time to respond, reports to these
sces will continue to go unanswered. I suspect JOSN Jennifer Gray may have
been promoted by now and likely been sent to a new duty station. Such is
the life of a sailor (and soldier, airman, or marine).
