			There are periodic ssb feeders on SW.  I don't
remember the frequencies off hand.  I've heard them at my Virginia location
with my trusty sony2010.

The last AFN I heard on MW was in Germany on 873, but I believe it is gone
now.  I heard it many times in Newfoundland, and also once at home in
western NY.  There used to be some of them in Newfoundland, Puerto Rico,
Guantanamo, Iceland, Azores, and even temporarily in Bosnia (during the
recent conflict).  Those that still exist are probably on FM at various US
bases.

I'm not up to date on the shortwave scene but AFN has been on the air from
Hawaii, Key West, Diego Garcia, Guam in recent years.  One of my most
distant QSLs is from Diego Garcia.  It's hard to get further from here than
that.  The 2013 WRTH lists them as active.
