Re: [IRCA] Michigan DU audio, Tue Sept.26th

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Gary and Chuck, thanks for your observations.

A correction to my initial post, those three 1701 frequencies should have
read: 1701.002, 1701.029 & 1701.069 (not 1710.x)

I listened to VOC's webstream this morning and noted EWTN programming
leading up to 1100 UTC TOH.  But after TOH, it sounded like Arabic talk and
music up to 1200 UTC.  As this is my first time listening, I don't know if
VOC follows any regimented format with their programs.  The bits of talk I
heard yesterday morning over the air (sounded like American English to me)
could have certainly been from an EWTN program.  Hoping these conditions
last for a bit longer to nail one of them down...

73,
Tim Tromp
West Michigan
