(AFN) AFRTS Puerto Rico
Recently there was some question of where (AFN) AFRTS went from Puerto Rico. It
was on 7507 via Puerto Rico, and now it seems as though Puerto Rico may have been dropped in favour of Key West on 7812.5 per http://myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/radio/shortwave/ (Which may or may not be factually correct as it seems that Diego Garcia has been inactive for some time). 7812.5 unheard here at 2015, though I will check later when propagation may be better. (Thanks to Glenn Hauser for some info on this, other research by myself). dxAce Michigan USA |

In addition to this, this would effectively mean that Puerto Rico is off the air with regards to being a NASWA shortwave broadcast country. Another one bites the dust. dxAce Michigan USA |

Checking at 2230 they are actually on 7811 rather than 7812.5. (Thanks to Glenn Hauser for some info on this, other research by myself). dxAce Michigan USA |

Now, I live in Florida and can't get either FL Keys stations in. The only one I get in faint is 5446.5 every so often. I don't get it. How in tarnations can I not pick it up in the state in originates from??????? I loved listening to that frequency. Lucky |

Lucky, you're being victimized by long-range skip when you can't hear your
local Florida A.F.R.T.S. outlet. As a kid, V.O.A. Dixon, 40 miles west, was harder to receive than South American flea-watt utilities(got the qsls as proof). With the recent hit-or-miss propogation, a local ham from Rescue, NorCali, 30 miles northeast, has been buried in noise on his evening a.m. hamnet check-ins on 1.925 mhz & 3.870 mhz. SoCal hams, as well as several out-of-staters, O.T.O.H., pin the Frog 7's s-metre 10 over 9. |

Lucky Lucky - 5446.5 usually works pretty well for me in Lakeland. Greg It works for me too but not very well. I used to get 7507 in so good it was fantastic to listen to it. Since Puerto Rico had that hurricane, it's gone. I miss it. I get 5446.5 in so faint it's saddening. I have to use the preamp 2 setting on my R75 to even hear it. But hi to another SWL in Florida.
