Re: [IRCA] Radio Martí - 1180 power and pattern

[Mike Hardester <DX4EVR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was on Okinawa 1976-79 and my first "official" station log was 
VOA-1180 (later 1178) near Okuma (resort area). My location was south 
of the prefectural capital city of Naha (more or less: 26-12-01 
N  127-41-51 E) and it was an easy log. Same for the VOA-Philippines 
on 1140. Days of yore.
