Believe me, there is no AFRTS USB transmissions from Sigonella nor Diego Garcia on those often mentioned frequencies. Not since last summer or so, least at the moment. That´s the sad truth. Frequencies for Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam and Hawaii txs seem right to the spot and active. Puerto Rico and Guam are heard best here in Southern Finland. Happy Easter from Helo. A comment :
Hi again, re AFRTS, a strange QSL
came by mail, obviously to my report of them last month
of
the Guam tx on 13362U.
Guam was the only one I had not reported earlier by ordinary mail, but
here
was a mail QSL from them that I had
heard Diego Garcia on 4319 which I had not. Not this time. That was a year
ago, and I received their QSL.
Let's face it, the AFRTS QSL
dept. has computorized QSL-ing, and you can't blame them for not answering
reports, but this time it got screwed up. I just wonder when all naval units
will have their satellite
receivers fixed up and this episode of AFRTS on
SW ends. But so far it has been real fun. Anybody with a QSL from erratic
Iceland on 3903U ? That would indeed be a good one for the history buffs in 50
years or so.
73 and enjoy the holiday !
