Glenn: -- Via remote receiver near Atlanta, a check of 1550 revealed WAZX at full-signal strength, with a male in what sounded like Vietnamese. Bingo? (GREG HARDISON, CA, Aug 1, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn: -- Now here's a wild idea for ya': WAZX/1550 in
Smyrna (Atlanta), GA. Station was recently sold, after many
years of alternatingly silent and Spanish programming. I
recall reading somewhere that 'AZX was now featuring, or
planning to feature Asian stuff. When & if operating per
parameters, WAZX has a formidable 50 kW daytime signal,
directional SW/NE (toward Hendersonville, NC, where the
"VOA" mystery was heard on 1550). I'd bet that signal could
be heard all day as far as Hendersonville; I wouldn't put it
past them to relay VOA material without a TOH ID, figuring
no one except speakers of that language would notice. It
sure as hell wasn't Rabouni! Just sayin' ... -- 73z â

Domestic US stations are of course free to relay VOA if they
do so upon their own initiative, mainly ethnix needing a
certain language (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Re:
UNIDENTIFIED. VOA relay on 1550 --- I have tried to get a
TOH ID on a
station on 1550 that is relaying VOA programming in what
sounds to me
like a southeast Asian language. My AM DX log doesn't ID
anyone with
this programming. There was a clear VOA ID at 0705 this
morning. I'm
still hearing it quite well at 1240 EDT. Any ideas? (Rick,
