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,
