** U S A. VOA Greenville recently offered to QSL direct with its own card. Lots of reception reports, especially from abroad, should help encourage the powers that be in Washington that this shortwave site is still being listened to and worth keeping on the air. Its closedown has already been postponed more than once.

You can find the current Greenville-B frequencies here:

Repeating the QSLing details, which shows the curtain antennas:
Reports are to be sent to:
Voice of America Transmitting Station

This is the seventh QSL card commemorating 2011 as RFA's 15th anniversary.
Ms. Libby Liu has been the president of Radio Free Asia since 2005. As president,
Ms. Liu provides strategic and operational direction to meet RFA's mission of
providing balanced, objective news to listeners in East Asian countries where
such news is unavailable.
RFA's first broadcast was in Mandarin Chinese on September 29, 1996 at 2100
UTC. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates its
coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting the countries to which we
broadcast.

Please visit us at www.rfa15.org or at www.rfa.org.

This QSL card is used to confirm all valid reception reports for December 2011.

Best wishes from all of us at RFA.  Thx AJ

Russian Woodpecker
http://www.southgatearc.org/news/december2011/russian_woodpecker.htm
More on the Russian OTHR. I thought I'd been to some interesting radio places, until Mike
Barraclough pointed me in the direction of this video made in the Ukraine, the former home
of the Russian over-the-horizon radar system that plagued shortwave reception in the 1980's.
It was nicknamed the Woodpecker, which explains the jingle at the end of the video. The
giant curtain is still there, although because it is so close to the old Chernobyl nuclear power
station its within the exclusion zone.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads
