I answered his question did I not? Did I not point him in the
right direction with the schedule info? Did I not tell him to
turn his radio on? Did I not tell him that the VOA is heard on
a regular basis?

Once again I have to ask, should I go help him tune his radio

The thread is not about what a hero you are.

When have I ever claimed to be a 'hero', retard?

Your repeated post with the same content labels you. You're
correct, your posting behavior merits descriptions other than
'hero' for doing do.
Please recognize that your posts on this thread are repetitive.
You want
recognition that you "answered his question did [you] not? ....".
So it is
recognized that you're repeatedly posted this. So helpfully. So
many
times. Thanks so much!

And here's another piece of what you cut:

Think twice, post once.

And you've still provided no useful info on the VOA...

Yes I have. see:
quoted below.

John Figliozzi writes on p 44 (summary in my words):

He called it "death by 1000 cuts".
VOA's already reduced to 19 hrs/day will soon be cut to 14.
Smith-Mundt
Act
(I'm not familiar with this) which means the changes are done out of
public
view. The board of governors (mixture of commercial broadcasters
and political appointees) prefer spending $ on obscure
commercial-sounding propaganda outlets instead (Radio Free Asia, R.
Farda, R. Sawa etc [I
don't
know what the etc might be]). Other languages are also being cut.
He wondered if the funding cuts for VOA is b/c their charter maeans
gov't can't interfere and funding other outlets is subject to no
such
constraints. He suggests writing to gov't representatives.

I'm guessing these cuts have occurred and continue. I don't
generally pursue VOA but have noticed I don't come across it as much
when going
after
other stations.
He called it "death by 1000 cuts".


That's nice, but hardly useful for someone trying to tune the VOA in on
a radio....

Nice try...

The original post contained the following:

What are the details of what has happened at VOA and are there any
transmissions still receivable in the Northeast USA?

I answered the first part. You repetitively answered the second, and not
nicely. Notice that the original poster's initial response about
"causing you so much anger".

I have absolutely no control over what his initial response was, retard.
And I was not, and am not angry... get over it ****wad.

You use this sort of abusive language when you are not angry. I see.

You did not respond to the first part of my response: that I answered the
first part of the question. Just like you are not angry, you don't have
selective perception, I'm sure.

I drifted away from sw listening for a few months and upon my return seem to
have discovered that I can no longer receive any of my old VOA frequencies.
I used to be able to listen to their Caribbean and Central America feeds
like locals, and during the day I got other feeds, generally pretty well.
Now I can't find them at all.

What are the details of what has happened at VOA and are there any
transmissions still receivable in the Northeast USA?

There's a difference between being accused of having a problem and
actually having one Mr. Communication.

Really, the VOA sked is worthless? Perhaps to someone like you who doesn't
