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. dxAce Michigan USA This brings a question to my mind - if one hears and QSLs a relay of, say, VOA from a place like, say, Thailand or Botswana, does that "officially" count as a country heard and QSLed, or is it just another QSL from VOA? If you hear China Radio International only on its Cuban relay, have you heard China or Cuba? In many cases, like VOA in Botswana, RNW in Madagascar or a pile of others like BBC or France, the relays are the strongest and easiest signals to catch, and frequently the only ones in a language that we provincial Yanks can understand... I realize that there may be varying opinions on this one, but I would weigh the opinions of experienced DXers with some additional gravity... I haven't gotten a QSL since, and I'm thinkingit might be fun to start a new album :-). Thanks, Bruce Jensen |
