I have noticed over the past 12 months that there has been a renewed interest in Short Wave Listening and the Voice of America.
Is it a coincidence? I think not!
Several Yahoo chat groups, including PA NBEMS has been sending VOA messages on their digital nets.
Several ham radio groups has visited the site - trying to get some idea of the magnitude of what goes on there.
