A short, 5 min 33 sec video of the VOA site, from UNC.
I was there sometime in the mid 80's. Can't remember
the exact date. Was cool back then. anyone who can take
themselves away from the crap being posted here may enjoy
this, before it disappears.

They play some pretty good music in the evenings (beamed to S.
America) in the 6 and 7MHz bands. Watch out for the Radio Marti
frequencies which can be jammed.

I don't get to follow the old timers as much as I wish. Seems
every time I get some home time, we get the big storms. Like this
morning, I'm trying to hear the watch net on 14.325u. Just noise
here. Good DX!

There's a ND7K who seems to be control operator who would relay to the
National Weather Service. I can hear him today workiing a few
stations. He has received a couple calls from hams who were affected
but not severely (lost internet, etc). Time here is 1930 UTC.

Should start to hear stations from the affected area near sunset as
the band lengthens a bit. Right now hearing mainly the Florida station
(ND7K). Someone called in with a 3-4 ' storm surge at 1945 UTC. All
quiet at 1959 UTC.
