A friend monitors AFN and has mentioned that for the last 2 months the

it not standard practice to monitor you
off air signal?

I guess that no one is listening because I can't believe that anyone
who really need
this service wouldn't raise cane over the quality.

Terry,

IIRC the main reason that AFN Shortwave Radio Broadcasts
are in SSB by AFRTS are that they are "Audio Only" for Ships
at Sea and the Ship's AFRTS Receiver is used to Distribute
the Audio Signal throughout the Ship to be heard where it can
be heard and when it can be listened to.

The AFN Shortwave Transmitter Locations are designed
to reach "All the Ships at Sea" in their respective
Ocean Areas. *-IF- There were a problem you would
think that one or more of the Ships-at-Sea would be
reporting the Problem to the Broadcast Location to
Get-It-Fixed !

Current AFN / AFRTS Shortwave Radio High Frequencies
AFN-SW -http://myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/ShortWave.aspx
Shortwave service is provided by the Navy as an option
for their ships without the Navy's "Direct-to-Sailor"
(DTS) capability. *Shortwave also serves as a backup
to those customers with DTS. *Shortwave service is also
an option for land-based listeners in remote locations
that do not have access to local or satellite-delivered
AFRTS full Satellite Network (SATNET) services. *Shortwave
services are intended to operate 24/7 but do experience
disruptions due to maintenance and atmospheric conditions.

Shortwave Radio Listeners (SWLs) report that
the Broadcast Frequency is 7811 kHz. ? ? ? ?

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii {Pacific}

QUESTION : AFN from Key West, FL.
Shortwave Radio Frequency Check
7812.5 kHz USB ?
-=OR=-
7811 kHz USB ?
? What Do You Hear ?

- You, and many others, have been told ad nauseum
that it's on 7811.

Then may be someone should tell AFN cause they are
still Publishing 7812.5 kHz USB on their Website.
