Is it true that Voice of America is forbidden by US law to broadcast
domestically?

As you've already heard, it's true that VOA is prohibited from
broadcasting to the domestic market as a target audience. It is not
prohibited for their signal to be =heard= within the United States,
though.

They do still enjoy hearing from domestic listeners, and last I heard
will acknowledge reception reports. One of the local SWL clubs has even
had visits from people at the Delano, CA broadcasting site in the past,
although that's been a while back.

Yes indeed, I've never had a problem getting a QSL from the VOA. Got a lot of
'em here too.
