AFRTS (USA Armed Forces radio) on Shortwave?
 

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Stephanie Weil"
saying something like:

Is this page still accurate? Has anyone in the USA ever heard these
broadcasts and can report back on the signal quality?

I regularly listen to AFRTS from Iceland from where I am in Ireland, a
thousand miles distant, on 7590 LSB. Given it's an omnidirectiona output
and only listed as 10kW, I'm reasonably impressed at the quality of it
most nights.

I'm listening to it as I write and I show 7590 USB with nothing on the LSB.
I'm not sure, but ISTR that sometimes they have been known to put different
programs on different sidebands?

Odd. I definitely get it on LSB. Some days there's a pretty weak USB
component but LSB is the consistently stronger of the two.

You've some sort of receiver problem.

I used to get night time Guard Duty once a month in Vietnam.When I was
at Shannon Wright Compound www.114thaviationcompany.com it was the
Front Gate.Then,about three months later,after I ****ed off a certain
Major Rosa,I got transfered to Tan Son Nhut. www.tsna.org (Thank
you,Major Rosa!)

At Tan Son Nhut and in the beautifull Saigon area,once a month,I got
night time Guard at any of these places,,, the American School,the POL
Dump,our Helicopter area,the American swimming pool,the Ammo dump where
I worked daytimes and two BOQ quarters.

It was all just like a regular Job to me.

Maybe, but it's not showing up anywhere else; SSB on all the ham bands
is fine. Tonight, for example, the USB component is there on 7590 and
quite listenable, but LSB is definitely better.

Who knows what happens to the signal on its bouncy journey across 1000
miles of open ocean.

Well, it sure doesn't shift from USB to LSB on its trip! You have a receiver
problem.

What exactly are you using?

Right now I'm getting it on 7590 USB, on a different receiver than last
time, and there is no sign of anything on LSB.
