Vietnam is relayed via Sackville for English. I've heard the transmitter
at Xuan Mai in Viet, not sure if Xuan Mai has an English broadcast.


I was listening from a tent last weekend with about 500 foot of 12 gauge
wire stuck about 40 feet in a tree. Anyway, I made some pretty good
catches of the Voice of Vietnam.

The following times and frequencies

There used to be a 15010 frequency that was used to but my latest WRTH
doesn't show it. I think it may have been discontinued. I listened to
the 20th anniversary of the end of the war. It was interesting to say
the least. Actually I remember they had a contest at that time for
people who wrote in.

I think there is a North American broadcast relayed via Sackville
somewhere on 40 meters and 31 meters.
