BURMA / MYANMAR
September 8 changes for Myanma Radio:
7200.05, till 1220*. At 1246 also noted they had changed to the
Naypyidaw  transmitter on 5985.0. It was August 30 I last found
these two changed together for just one day.

INDIA
Thanks to the timely tip from Mauno Ritola (Finland)
that PBS Xizang (Lhasa, Tibet) seems to currently be doing
their annual transmitter maintenance, hence they are off the
air on many frequencies. I was able to hear the following
completely in the clear on Sept 8:

AIR Kolkata on 4820.75 at 1327, but when checking again at
1415 found them on their normal 4820.0.

AIR Chennai was doing well on 4920 at 1320.

So now is the time to catch these two without the usual Tibet
QRM. Thanks again to Mauno for pointing out this unique
situation!

Armed Forces Radio 1941-2011
70 Years of Active Service
From Alaska to the World....
____________________________


"Yankee Doodle Went to Sitka'...a line from a 1944 radio tribute to
WVCX Sitka [Alaska] and one of the two stations [the other was KODK
Kodiak] generally accepted as being the first Armed Forces Radio
stations going on the air in 1941.

The Radio Heritage Foundation now has over 30 features celebrating
early AFRS stations across Alaska, Asia and the Pacific including
KODK Kodiak 1941 [www.radioheritage.net/story65.asp] and a full
1941-1958 guide to the AFRS Alaska stations including all the
original known outlets [www.radioheritage.net/story63.asp].

Amongst the main features are AFRS Japan, AFRS China-Burma-India and
AFRS Jungle Network which detail many now long forgotten stations in
long forgotten theaters of war along with some rare images.

There are features on many individual stations such as WVUS New
Caledonia [from the famous Mosquito Network], WVUG Anchorage, KMTH
Midway, WXLG Kwajalein [a Pacific Ocean Network outlet], WXLI Guam,
WVTK Leyte, WXLE Eniwetok, and KTLG Sangley.

This month, Homer Willess, founder of WVUV American Samoa will be
making his first visit back to the islands since 1942, and his
inspiring story of island romance and radio can be enjoyed today at
www.radioheritage.com.

From Alaska to Antarctica [WASA McMurdo] and all points of the
Pacific in between, AFRS radio has entertained servicemen and women
and local listeners for 70 years. We're delighted to record just a
little of the fascinating heritage of these stations and encourage
anyone with memories, photos or audio of AFRS stations to make
contact with us.

In the meantime, please let your friends, colleagues and family know
of the AFRS Armed Forces Memories features that can be enjoyed right
now at www.radioheritage.com.
