Re: [IRCA] AFN 1575

Thanks Walt,
 
Your tips on AFN-1575's programming are very much appreciated.
 
By coincidence, I was a military dependent at one of those locations  
(Iwakuni, Japan)  from 1967-69, and listened to the station all the time. I  even 
remember the transmitter location, close to the ocean beach. It was  called 
the Far East Network (FEN) then, and the frequency was 1580 kHz.
 
After joining the Navy myself I ended up at Yokosuka, Japan, where the FEN  
station on 810 kHz was popular. That's another station that I would really  
like to receive here :-)
 
73, Gary

Gary,  another characteristic of AFN programming is plenty of public 
service  announcements, both of a local nature (like, how to interact with the 
locals  and keep out of trouble), and the kind heard on a state or national  
level.  It's not all music, that's for sure.  Also, there are  frequent ball 
games carried as well.  Somewhere in my archives I have  hours and hours of 
AFN programming on 1575 at armchair level...Walt
